Western Australia Police Recruitment Psychological Evaluation
Congify App Is Brilliant
G’day Russ, I’m simply amazed at the extent you must have gone to in creating your Cognify app. It’s brilliant! I found it very realistic and felt really confident going through the real test.

Second Time Lucky
I had no idea what to expect the first time I sat my psych interview and I failed. I was determined to pass the second time. Taking the PMT pysch course showed me where I went wrong and helped me pass on my second attempt. I can’t thank you enought Russ!

Anxious about what to expect in the WAPOL psychological evaluation?
Western Australia Police applicants undergo a Psychological Evaluation as part of the recruitment process. I’m sure that’s no surprised, but – what’s involved in this part of the application process?
The evaluation can be broken into three sections:
- The Cognify Mini-Games assessment
- A psychometric test
- A one on one interview with a psychologist (for some applicants)
This can be a stressful stage of the recruitment process for many police applicants, but don’t worry, we can help!
How we can help with this stage of the process
I think it’s fair to say we can help police applicants achieve their dream of becoming a police officer. After all, for the last 17 years more than 6,000 applicants have taken our training, and, more than 90% of them are now police officers! How’s that for a success rate?!
Our founder, Russell Kempster, spent 14 years as a police officer in Victoria, with 4 years of that time as an instructor at the police academy. To say helping police applicants is our passion would be an understatement!
Our training is tailored specifically to meet the requirements of your police application. You can expect very detailed and comprehensive training, delivered online, via video tutorial lessons and custom software applications.
Access to the training is unlimited. You can take lessons at your own pace, when and where it suits you, and you can take the lessons, and use the applications, as many times as you like.
We’re here to help keep you moving should you have any technical support questions. We also offer a paid premium coaching support option should you want to receive personalised advice and guidance, over and above the online training, during your application journey.
When you take our online training you’ll also be invited to join our community of police applicants, from around the country, working towards the same goal – achieving their dream of becoming a police officer.
Let’s take a closer look at the training to help you with this stage of your Western Australia Police application.
Here's what we're going to cover in this training
Cognify Mini-Games Test
Cognify is a series of short problem solving games designed to test applicant’s ability to learn quickly and to use reasoning skills to find solutions to problems that may be numbers, words, or visually based. It can be a stressful test because most applicants will be unfamiliar with this type of testing, and so the pressure is on to learn and adjust quickly in order to solve as many problems as possible in this very fast moving test.
After searching high and low for good quality Cognify preparation material without success we decide the only thing to do was to create our own!
Now, there are plenty of generic apps and online games out there that claim to help, but, nothing comes close to the Cognify Mini-Games application we’ve developed. We invested heavily in our software application to ensure our police applicant customers have the best and most realistic Cognify test preparation available anywhere!
- In Module 1 ‘Cognify Clarity’, we’ll take you through an explanation of all 6 mini games and show you the official software application used for police applicant testing to make sure you’re clear about what to expect.
- In Module 2, ‘Strategy sprint’, you’ll learn strategies to help you deal with each of the different question types to maximise your score!
- In Module 3, ‘Skills Builder App’, you’ll have access to the most realistic Cognify Mini Games Test available anywhere!
We’ll also explain the scoring system and, you’ll be able to take an unlimited amount of Cognify Mini-Games practice!
Psychometric Test & One-on-One Interview
It can be nerve racking to have to take a psychometric test, even if you’ve never had any mental health concerns. It’s the unknown that can create stress when it comes to these types of tests.
It’s perfectly ok to be nervous about the psych testing – don’t stress! Let me explain.
There are two components used to assess a police applicant’s psychological suitability.
- Psychometric test
- Psychological interview (may be required)
The psychometric testing can be thought of as a personality survey. It’s essentially a personality profiling method.
This is not a test that requires any learned or researched knowledge, however, it is an assessment that you can prepare for by accessing our specific resources to give you a head start on the types of questions you’ll find in the assessment.
The psychological interview is a different assessment altogether!
Unfortunately, failing the psychological interview is not an uncommon occurrence for police applicants. However, I truly believe that it’s not that an applicant is unsuitable for the role, it comes down to your ability to demonstrate the right qualities in the right way. In other words, it’s not what you know it’s what you can prove!
Should you be required to participate in an interview, I’m going to take you through a thorough process to ensure you fully understand how applicants are assessed, how emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in the assessment, and I’ll teach you how to provide evidence of your suitability to make it easy for the psychologist to tick the boxes!
Cognify Mini Games
Now, there are plenty of generic apps and online games out there that claim to help, but, nothing comes close to the Cognify Mini-Games application we’ve developed.
We invested heavily in our software application to ensure our police applicant customers have the best and most realistic Cognify test preparation available anywhere!
You’ll discover much more than just what to expect in the real Cognify test, we also have a solid course to help you understand the scoring system, we’ll share detailed demonstrations from the official Cognify testing application, and we’ll share lessons for each game to show you how to maximise your score with really effective tips and techniques to use on game day!
- In Module 1 ‘Cognify Clarity’, we’ll take you through an explanation of all 6 mini games and show you the official software application used for police applicant testing to make sure you’re clear about what to expect.
- In Module 2, ‘Strategy sprint’, you’ll learn strategies to help you deal with each of the different question types to maximise your score!
- In Module 3, ‘Skills Builder App’, you’ll have access to the most realistic Cognify Mini Games Test available anywhere!
You’ll be able to take an unlimited amount of Cognify Mini-Games practice to fine tune your skills, build your confidence and your scores!

Psychological Interview
Not passing the psychological interview is, unfortunately, a regular occurrence for police applicants. It comes down to your ability to demonstrate the right qualities in the right way. In other words, it’s not what you know it’s what you can prove!
This exact course has help applicants, who had previously failed a psychological interview, to reapply and pass the interview the second time.
If you’re worried about your police psychological interview, it might be because you don’t know what you don’t know. Don’t risk it, invest the time and effort and take this course to give yourself the best chance of passing your psych interview!

Investing in your future police career
Don’t be mistaken in thinking that only police applicants with mental health history fail the psychological interview.
Unfortunately, plenty of applicants are left confused when they learn that what seemed like a positive interview experience actually resulted in a 12 to 24-months wait to start over.
It’s not what you know it’s what you can prove. I’ll help you with both in this training.

Which pricing option is right for me?
If you’d like help with 1 stage of your application, the 1 Month or 3 Months prepay option might be the best fit for you. However, if you’re early in your journey and would like help with multiple testing stages, the 6 or 12 month prepay options are significantly discounted.
Free Access Guarantee
Frequently asked questions...
That’s entirely your choice! You could:
- Do nothing and allow the monthly payments of $99 to commence (for as many months as you like)
- Prepay a further period of 3, 6 or 12 months [additional discounts ($50/$100/$200) on top of these discounts is applied for existing PMT members], or
- You can submit the cancel membership form any time before (at least 24 hours) the monthly payments are due to commence. Example: you could prepay for 6 months and submit the cancellation form after one month if you like. You will still have full access until the end of your prepaid period before the membership would expire automatically. Note: We will send you plenty of reminders when your prepaid period is ending.
Yep, just select the one-month pricing option, then submit the cancel membership form at least 24 hours before the next payment is due and you’re done.
As a member, you’ll have access to everything, the cost is determined by how long you stay on as a member, not by the courses you access.
We have courses that are specifically tailored on a state by state basis. As a member you’ll get access to all the training courses for all the states/territories, so regardless of which state you are applying for we’ve got you covered!
No. However, you can cancel it at any time.
When you cancel your membership you will continue to have full access until the end of the paid period.
Good question! It really comes down to your application time frame and how much help you’d like. If you’re early in the application process we suggest considering the 6 or 12-month pricing option. If you’re already well into the journey, the one or 3-month pricing option might be more suitable.
We do not offer refunds, so please be sure the program is right for you before making a commitment. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us!
We’ll do everything in our power to help and support you to succeed. The membership is a self-paced program, if you need personalised private coaching with Russ, or you’d like your work to be individually critiqued on a one-off basis, there are paid options available.
Not necessarily. When you’re on the monthly payments, they’re processed every 30 days. The actual date is shown on your previous payment receipt.
In life? Nope, however, Russ has been passionately helping police applicants for more than 17 years. Over 6,000 applicants have come through our program, 90% of them are now police officers. In the unlikely event you take our course and don’t pass that stage of the application, we will give you free access to that course again for 30 days when you reapply.
