OUCH!
Most applicants DO NOT PASS the
Hawaii private detective license examination.
Reviewing some old HI PD Board meeting minutes, we see
NOBODY passed the exam-- only fails!
And on a prior HI PI Board meeting minutes, we see that
ONLY ONE PERSON
PERSON WHO PASSED
the
Hawaii Private Detective Examination in a recent half year period . . .
(It appears that only about 5 applicants pass per year!)
One two recent past testings: 2 passed, 2 failed.

Testing secret #3
Watch out for these types of answer choices:
SIMILAR ANSWER CHOICES
Sometimes more than one answer choice
will look the same-- but there will be
a small
difference if you look close!
Studying helps you prepare you
for this type-- and much more!

YES, it says 2013 in that link but it is correct for this year
(but beware: there are 'tricks' and 'traps' to the application process;
call us for assistance before you make the common application mistakes!)
Testing secret #4:
Many test-takers have a tough time
with this type of answer choices:
'Choose the BEST answer'.
You might find questions where more
than one of the answer choices is correct.
But one choice is a little better than the others.

We obtained all exact reference material used 
and endorsed by the State of Hawaii.
Partly because of that, our developed HI private
detective exam preparation material is THE SOURCE!

Many who complain about failing licensing tests say there were 'answers open to opinion'!
We agree-- tests should use questions of definite answers, never opinions.
What if your experience gives you a different opinion on a
question than the test writer has? YOU get it wrong then!
Studying will give you a 'heads up' on this type of question too.
Included in this is a section
containing
many forms frequently
needed by
Hawaii private detectives!

Hawaii Private Detective licensing, business, and test preparation packages.
EVIDENCE and CRIME SCENE sections are now included.
Updated for 2023!

Seminars, or studying on-line, is an ineffective waste of time.
Reading our printed paper 2023
Hawaii Private Detective study materials with photos, over and over,
studying around your daily duties, or sitting in your car, or even while resting in bed,
is FAR more effective then trying to study on-line or at a 'seminar'.

From a 30-year teacher of private investigation:

(low retention percentage, too many words per actual needed knowledge)
BEST possible study method:
reading Question/Answer, Question/Answer, Question/Answer, . . .
