About This Quiz

Have you dreamed of a career as an FBI Special Agent? While it sounds super awesome, the training that participants must go through is not for the faint of heart. You will be tested continuously on your physical abilities, and you must consistently score a passing grade to stay in the program. You will also be tested on various academic subjects, such as behavioral science and forensics.

The FBI Training Academy does come with many perks, though. There is a library, swimming pool, gym and a firing range for training purposes. There's also "Hogan's Alley," which is a simulated town that was created specifically for case exercises. But did you know you'll have to complete 850 hours of training to become an FBI Special Agent? There's also an optional fitness test called "Yellow Brick Road," and the reward is none other than a real yellow brick! All you have to do is run through 6.1 miles of barbed wire, steep hills and muddy water. No big deal, right? If you think that you have what it takes to pass the first round of FBI Special Agent training, then it's time to show off your skills with this challenging quiz!
