Up the Ranks is on Android

Up the Ranks is out on Android. It is revision for the NPPF Step Two legal exam, the 150-question, closed-book paper for promotion to sergeant or inspector, with 1,146 questions covering every chapter of the 2027 syllabus: Crime, Evidence and Procedure, and General Police Duties.

The law’s own words

Every question is written independently from the law itself, checked word for word against the text it quotes. Answer one and it shows you which option was right, why each of the other three is wrong, and the passage of law it turns on, exactly as it is written, with its citation and a link to the official source.

The sources are primary law: Acts of Parliament on legislation.gov.uk, the PACE Codes of Practice, CPS charging guidance and Sentencing Council guidelines.

Practise your way

Choose the sergeants’ or the inspectors’ paper. Practise against the clock at 72 seconds a question, the pace of the published format, from 5 questions up to a full 150. Or take one chapter at a time, untimed. It works out your weakest chapters from your own answers, keeps your last 50 sessions, and lets you retry the questions you got wrong.
