PPCT FINAL EXAM 2026 ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Neurological Basis of learning - ✔✔Static Training
Fluid Training
Dynamic Training
✔✔Static training - ✔✔is the stage of training where the student is introduced to the
physical components of a skill. The technique should be broken into three basic
components (the beginning, the middle, and the end), with each component being
practiced separately and in succession.
The skill should be practiced in slow motion, without any simulated resistance. When
the techniques are based upon gross motor skills, the average student should be able
to attain basic technique proficiency within 25 repetitions.
✔✔Fluid training - ✔✔is the second stage of practicing a physical skill and is where the
majority of a skills practice repetitions should occur. Fluid training should be restricted to
50% or less of full speed and/or power to allow the student to properly process the
subcomponents of the skill. Additionally, at this stage the student should practice the
skill as a response to a specific type of resistance. This is referred to as the
Condition/Stimulus Response
Training Principle.
✔✔Dynamic training - ✔✔is the final stage of training and is essentially full speed role-
playing that provides the student with the opportunity to practice survival techniques in
an open environment. This type of stress inoculation training is crucial to officer survival
and should not be overlooked. Simulation or dynamic training should only be conducted
utilizing the proper safety equipment, and only by instructors who have been specifically
trained in the use of the protective equipment and in the proper design, development,
and implementation of this type of training.
✔✔Stimulus/Condition Response Training - ✔✔An automatic response to a specific
threat can only occur when the students practice a skill in conjunction with a specific
level of threat
✔✔ - ✔✔Totally cooperative
Potentially Uncooperative
Totally uncooperative
✔✔ - ✔✔Approach to contact
Control upon touch
Speed in application
✔✔ - ✔✔When the subject has commited a crime.
When the subject is an escape risk
, When the subject is a safety hazard
✔✔ - ✔✔The officer should double lock the handcuffs as soon as it is tactically safe to
do so...
Handcuff before searching
✔✔ - ✔✔The PPCT Defensive Counterstrikes are divided into 2 categories -
techniques that are used inside the REactionary Gap
techniques that are used on the edge of the reactionary gap
✔✔ - ✔✔Was the use of force appropraite or proportional to the level of resistance
What was the nature of any injuries
WAs teh officer in control of his actions
Classified as Hard Empty Hand Control
✔✔ - ✔✔Use nerve motor points and torso as targets
Fluid Shockwave Principle
✔✔ - ✔✔Designed primarily to stop a subjects forward momentum
Control principles used are Balance displacement, distraction, stunning.
✔✔Palm Heel Strike primary Target - ✔✔Chest/Torso
✔✔ - ✔✔Students should avoid using knife hand, hammer fist, or ridge hand Brachial
Stuns unless he/she is justified in using deadly force.
✔✔ - ✔✔Respiratory and vascular
✔✔ - ✔✔Designed primarily to stop a subject forward momentum
Control principles used are balance displacement and stunning.
✔✔ - ✔✔Torso
✔✔ - ✔✔Venous compression
Vagus stimulation
Carotid Compression
Valsalva Maneuver
✔✔ - ✔✔results in the vascular congestion of the vascular bodies of the head and neck
