Overall, this exam was a surprise to everyone, but that in and of itself should actually not be new to anyone here. We all know how this job is and how they change things at a moment's notice. This test is truly a first of a kind for the Department. We saw an incredible amount of what appeared to be very su...

They had a civilian cleaner named Vorbeck on the roll call? I found it funny cause Inspector Vorbeck was so hated, I wonder if it a small but intentional F You to him.

If they are going to be getting questions from a source shouldn't we be provided with that source? Neither NOE has any reference to either of those two material's.

The key has sent out a very informative e-mail about the test & how and what to protest. I advise all key students to read it or have someone forward it to you if you weren't a student or didn't get it. -- Edited by E D on Wednesday 2nd of November 2011 12:07:57 AM

Regardless if you believe it was fair or not everyone who took this exam should mail in the protest form. There were multiple questions that were incredibly tight. Personally i want to see what was considered correct in these judgment calls. I bet we could find PG or AG that counter. Also did anyone els...
