Why item counts differ from sergeant exams
Lieutenant examinations generally use fewer total items than sergeant examinations at a comparable tier. Command-level scenario and best-response items take longer to answer and to write defensibly than direct-recall policy items, so a lower item count still fills a comparable testing window while testing judgment more directly than recall.
