Go to www.post.ca.gov for more information about the written exam and it's scoring. The average cut off for departments is a T-score between 40-50. Try this website as well for help with your interview: http://www.policejobsinfo.com/
Pulled directly from the Q&A on www.post.ca.gov:
Q.How do I interpret my test results?
A.When POST electronically scans your test answers, statistical calculations are performed to convert your raw score (the number of items you answered correctly) into a “T-score.” A T-score is a standardized score that places your performance on the test into a distribution (bell-shaped curve) with a midpoint (average) of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. If your score falls around 50, your performance is considered “average” when compared to other applicants who have taken the test. If you score 40 or below, your performance is considered “below average” when compared to other applicants who have taken the test. If you score 60 or above, your performance is considered “above average” when compared to other applicants who have taken the test. Research shows that the likelihood of successful academy completion increases for every point above 42 you score.
