I used the TCOLE practice tests from Examsdr and passed on my first attempt. The questions felt very close to the real exam, especially on Texas Penal Code, use of force, arrest and search, and traffic law. It helped me focus on weak areas like ethics and civil rights. Solid prep if you want to walk in confident.
