School Safety Agent Study Guide 2026–2027 | NYC DCAS Prep & 200 Practice Questions

Prepare for the NYC School Safety Agent exam with a complete, illustrated study guide built around the nine abilities the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) lists in the Notice of Examination. The exam is a computer-based, multiple-choice test with a 70% minimum passing score, and your score sets your rank on the eligible list. It does not test law or police procedure, so this guide teaches the abilities themselves, with worked methods for every question type.

This 127-page digital guide pairs a full content review with two 100-question practice tests in the formats the exam uses: procedure and memorandum passages, report-writing items, memory study material, legal definitions, incident data tables, report-sentence ordering, street maps with one-way traffic, school floor plans, and rotation, mirror-image, and paper-folding figures.
