About Exam Arena

Our mission

Exam Arena specialises in preparing candidates for security and defence careers. We support candidates through the competitive exams and selection processes of the French Army, the French Foreign Legion, the Gendarmerie and the National Police, as well as the cross-cutting tests along the way: psychometric tests, physical tests and English.

Our goal is simple: to help everyone prepare in the best possible conditions, with preparation that is accessible and specific to each exam rather than generic content.

Exam Arena also covers a few adjacent public-sector recruitments (SNCF, RATP) and the English certifications required for certain paths. It is published by ARENA (EURL), based in Lille, France.

“I created Exam Arena to help candidates prepare in the best possible conditions, and to make preparation accessible and tailored to each exam.”

Eliott Raoult, founder.

Our method

Trust comes from how we build our content and our tests:

  • Grounded in official sources from the armed forces and security services: sengager.fr, devenir-aviateur.gouv.fr, lamarinerecrute.gouv.fr, gendarmerie.interieur.gouv.fr, police-nationale.interieur.gouv.fr, legion-recrute.com. Each page lists its sources.
  • Tests modelled on the real selection exams (psychometric, physical, interviews).
  • Factual verification of enlistment conditions, pay and exam formats, with regular updates.
  • Dedicated preparation for each role and exam, built around the specific tests candidates will face.

Our track record

  • Over 30,000 candidates prepared for security and defence careers.
  • 4.8/5 average rating, based on genuine candidate reviews.
  • Dedicated job profiles and tests for each force: Army, Legion, Gendarmerie, Police.

The team

Exam Arena is built by a team:

  • Eliott Raoult: founder.
