## What is OPOTA SPO?

Want to pass the OPOTA SPO Basic Police Exam? Download this app and start studying questions that will help you prepare for the test and your career as a police officer in the state of Ohio.

Created by people with backgrounds in law enforcement and education, we've found the flashcard method to be one of the most effective training tools for police academy cadets. Our app includes questions covering all areas of the exam, which is divided up into different categories. Study the questions and categories you want to work on, and hide the ones you already know (you can always add them back later).

Having this information on your phone makes it easy to study on your own terms, and since they're pre-populated with questions and answers, you don't have to hassle with making them, organizing them, or keeping track of their location. Instead, you can concentrate on learning the material.

By popular demand, our app now features a built in stopwatch, which can help you time your study sessions or prepare for any applicable physical fitness test (by default, it's tuned to track the 1.5 mile run from the Cooper Institute Standard). A log is kept to help you track your progress.

Please note separate apps are available for those training for corrections officer and security positions -- this app is designed for police officers.

### 1/5 — Absolute Trash

*2020-05-20, version 1.5.2*

It’s 2020 this app Will not load at all. Save your money. You’re welcome.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-05-06, version 1.5.2*

The app won’t even load in for me or the other cadets I know.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2020-03-14, version 1.5.2*

Not recommended app won’t work right won’t load and it’s a waste of $5

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-08-13, version 1.5.2*

This app is absolute garbage. I received all of these SPO’s in class and I bout the app thinking it would actually test me. Turns out it’s just the SPO’s I’ve got and doesn’t put anything in testing format. I just wasted $5 on something I’ll never use. This is a waste of an app and it’s junk.

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2017-03-12, version 1.4*

The SPO's aren't up to date, please update. Spend $5 on this and I can't use it bc they aren't updated

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-09-06, version 1.2*

Good application!.. However, for the money i paid i wish the developers would organize the application a little bit better. For example divide the sub sections under it respective topic. Example administration (topic number) -> unit 1 ect... It helps to study only what you go over in class and for some academy we have weekly SPO quiz and the way the app is set up now is very difficult to do this.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-07-27, version 1.1*

The update to this app has made it perfect. It is up to date and has some cool features like deleting a flash card that you no longer want to study. Well done OPOTA SPO you made a great app.
