RISING STAR ! The ultimate source to ace your NYPD Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Exam Visit www.RisingStarPromotion.com to order our questions specifically designed for maximum retention of the Patrol Guide--plus full-length exams!

Personally it doesnt matter to me if they promote upfront or not, as long as there is a November class ill be happy. I studied for about 2 weeks a quickly decided that it wont happen this time around.

The budget does not matter to the NYPD never has and never will. They just reported that these protests cost the job over 2 million in OT. Promotions will be done soon

Hey, maybe they will do what they did to Sanitation and demote recently promoted supervisors :) They could save some money that way

Heh heh. I think they would actually spend more because top pay cops have to make more with OT than rookie Sgts the first couple of years
Which BMOC class was it when they sent them back to their commands? How long did ths last, a couple of weeks? It was just the one class they did that to, right?

BX Bomber - did I say something to upset you? Because, honestly I don't recall writing anything that would provoke your response? You don't know my list #. You don't know shyt about me. If you're any kind of cop you should know that, where I'm on the list don't mean shyt. And let me save you from getting into the "who has more collars" bullshyt argument before it begins, because I could give a rats ass. I just voiced my opinion like everyone else. Dont like mine. Then skip to the next one or respond with something thats worth while for everyone to read instead of that crap. I'm going to stop now because I'm not here to bash people...I guess you are...

Do you still get promoted after few months later getting out of restricted duty when you couldnt get promoted upon promotion day? Because I am still on restricted duty for LOD and they already passed over my list.

Ahh, lighten up! I'm just busting chops and having a little fun with ya. It's not that serious.

Maybe I'm a little high strung when it comes to this guessing game. That's fine. But next time you decide to call some one "not bright" just remember that everyone on here is not your partner, who you ride around with for 8 hrs. Or for some people, the guy you're desk is next to.

Appreciate the update J-Rock, thx.

Hey donnie, machine...how far are u guys...anyone else less than 30 names away

Im below 700.  I have the worst luck though....I bet they put a class of 40 with 10 from the list and 30 passovers! lol

Naa, I think this list will be no more than 300...They will give another one in a year or 2. Only 2700 are taking it! 10% passing is 270! I also stopped reading, Ill wait for the next time around

Sounds a little high. 2700 take it and 1200 passing??? I say closer to 20% passing, if that.

75% of the cops taking the sergeants test sign up, quit studying after 2 months, maybe go to a few cram classes at the end. They usually wind up in the 62-69 range on the list. That's why the failure rate is so high for that test.

For the Lt test, I'd say in my command about 50% have given up, the other 50% are holding strong. And, you gotta remember, studying is definitely easier for the Lt test since the material is still familiar (unless you took your own Sgt test over 5 years ago).

The way I see it; Bloomberg is calling for another hiring freeze, the budget in albany has a deficit of two billion?... hopefully it wont go that way, but I feel that after a few more promotions/academy classes everything will stall again.... our paycheck is relative safe, but everybody else is hurting right now, forget a double recession, for many ppl this feels like a triple recession. Those taking the Lt test better score 88+ minimum!!

-- Edited by machine on Tuesday 11th of October 2011 04:33:41 AM

I just want to know if they are putting people in for Sgt. Next month??????? Or are we treating that as if it's definitely cancelled?

Donnie, that's the way it used to be, when they would give the test every three years or so. Problem was it was more like we need 2,000 Sgts in the next 3 years so we will take the top 2,000 scores. Problem is they were promoting people with scores in the 50's.
NO, I am not joking, my old partner got promoted with like a 58.
They started the 70 passing in 2007, and the list was only like 300 names or something. These last lists are much smaller then they used to be hence the test given much more often since they implemented the 70 passing grade system. Also, they would sometimes not make the whole list, they would establish a list of maybe 2,500 then only promote to say 2,000 or something and the bottom would die on the list.

Man, this is the first time we dont have a definitive answer about the anything regarding the next class since may!

Just my luck, they stop promoting exactly when im up! I have the worst luck ever.

Brat...Aren't you in BMOC NOW? Thought u would have a lot more for us

well congrats Lt. Keep us updated, we'll be waiting...its only 2 more weeks left till the 28th. Its getting kind of close.

The middle of the month and nothing on SLC? What the hell is going on here? I'm a patient man, but this wait is ridiculous, wtf!!!

Seems to be a slowdown of information, does this mean there is gonna be a slowdown on promotions,
Or is everyone just focused on studying. My opinion is no Sgt class for Nov, and a promotional slowdown all around.
