The interviewer advises you of their pre-employment psychological and physical exams and asks if you'll pass so they can decide if they want to continue with you in the hiring process. Institutions invest a lot of money hiring employees, and they want to avoid sending you for these exams if you will not pass.

Focus on being completely honest in your response. If you do not think you will pass the psychological or physical exams, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the exams will not be an issue, ensure the interviewer that you will pass the tests because you are in excellent physical and mental health. If you have passed a psychological exam before or had a recent physical, be sure to let the interviewer know.

If passing a psychological or physical exam will be an issue for you, it is best to wait to apply to a Juvenile Correction Officer position until you feel confident you will pass the exams. It is understandable to be nervous if you have never taken a psychological exam, but if you are honest during the test, you should have nothing to worry about. Most institutions require a pre-employment background investigation, polygraph exam, psychological exam, physical exam, and drug test, and you must pass all to work in this profession.

"No, I should have no problem passing either exam. I am in excellent physical and mental health, and I passed a psychological exam three years ago for my previous job."
