The Capital Prep team, ready to answer your question

Questions, answered

What's inside the study portal?

The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it; Standard carries the Money-Back Guarantee and SurePass the SurePass Guarantee.

Does this cover law enforcement and corrections?

Yes, both, in one purchase. FDLE runs two separate tests — CJBATLEO for law enforcement and CJBATCO for corrections — with the same three Sections and the same timing; the scenarios are set on the street in one and inside a facility in the other. You pick your track, and your scored mocks are drawn from that track. The guide, flashcards and practice questions cover both. One thing to be clear about: each official test is its own registration with Pearson VUE, its own $39 fee and its own limit of three attempts in any 12 months. Passing one does not count for the other.

How does the SurePass Guarantee work?

Standard and SurePass carry it. Score 85%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On SurePass, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $39 retake fee. A refund also comes with free access to keep preparing — 90 more days on Standard, another year on SurePass. Starter carries no refund — don't pass, upload your score report, and we add 30 more days of access, free. Every free period is counted from the earliest date your exam allows a retake. You file the claim in your study portal with your official score report.

How many full-length mocks do I get?

Four scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 97-question paper split 47 / 10 / 40 across the three Sections the way FDLE's handbook splits the real test, drawn from the track you choose, on a 90-minute clock. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. Worth knowing what else is on the shelf: IOS, the company that writes the CJBAT, sells practice tests of 50 questions each that cover the cognitive portion only, one form per purchase.

Which pass should I buy?

SurePass, for almost everyone: today it costs the same as Standard, it runs a full year, and it is the only pass that pays your retake fee if you don't pass (and adds another year free). Standard is a month of access with the Money-Back Guarantee — a refund plus 90 more days if you don't pass. Starter is one week of access with no refund — don't pass and you get 30 more days free.

What score do I need to pass?

FDLE's rule has two parts, in its own words: "a score of 70 or higher across all three sections. In addition, a candidate must correctly respond to at least 30 of the 50 questions contained within Sections II and III." FDLE does not say whether the 70 is a percentage, a scaled score or a count, so we don't either. You get a pass or a fail and no score; a failing report graphs Sections II and III and says nothing about Section I. The 85% our mocks are marked against is ours, not FDLE's. It is set high on purpose, because it is also the score that qualifies you for the guarantee.

What does the exam cost, and what does a retake cost?

$39 per test, paid to Pearson VUE when you reserve, non-refundable and non-transferable. Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead or you lose it; arrive late or without two valid IDs and you lose it too. A retake is a new $39. You must wait 24 hours after a failed attempt before you can book again, and FDLE allows no more than three total attempts per discipline in any 12 months. A passing result is valid for four years. Our SurePass Guarantee pays your full $39 retake fee for one retake.

Do I even need to take the CJBAT?

Probably, but check. Since 1 July 2022, Florida law (s. 943.17(1)(g)) says a candidate entering a law enforcement academy who is a veteran as Florida law defines one, or who holds an associate degree or higher from an accredited college does not have to take the law enforcement test. That exemption does not apply to corrections. Officers already certified in Florida or another state may qualify through FDLE's Equivalency of Training process instead. If you are exempt, you do not need this.

Are the questions like the real test?

As close as we can make them, and here is where they differ. FDLE and IOS publish no sample questions, so every item is written to FDLE's three Sections from the handbook's own description, with four options and a reason given for every option. Four options is a fact about our bank, not a claim about IOS's format. Section I is written to the conduct standards officers are held to and has a keyed best answer; on the real test IOS scores Section I its own way and never reports it. In Section II the real test shows each picture for one minute and then takes it away. In our app the picture stays on screen while you answer, so practice the discipline the guide teaches — study, look away, then answer — because we don't enforce it for you. And the real test times each Section separately, while our mock runs one 90-minute clock.

What about IOS's official study materials?

FDLE and the handbook both point candidates to IOS, the company that writes the CJBAT. IOS sells a $9.99 standard study guide, a $20.99 enhanced guide, practice tests at $13 each (50 questions on the cognitive portion, separate forms for law enforcement and corrections), and a $42.39 package per track. They come from the people who write the test, which we cannot claim, and they are worth having alongside us. Know the terms: IOS's online content is non-refundable, and downloads leave your account after 90 days. Prices move, so check them before you buy.

What happens when my pass expires?

Your account stays and your work stays with it — notes, highlights and flashcard history are all there if you come back. The paid features stop. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you left off, and an upgrade always credits what you already paid.

My exam date moved. Does the plan adjust?

Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost. Pearson VUE requires changes at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Can I use it on my phone, and does it work offline?

Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, and the whole study guide downloads too, narrated audio included. Scored mocks and the tutor wait for a connection.

Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?

Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on Starter, 48 hours on Standard, or 72 hours on SurePass, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.

Why are SurePass guarantees limited?

Because we honor them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment, so a limited number opens for this exam each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
