Why make a mediocre test and have 1300 candidates pass? Then follow up by only promoting half before cutting it. Does it really make a difference? If the 2006 test would have been challenging only 600 people would have passed, the same amount of people that have gotten promoted thus far. Let's face...

No details will be discussed since I know I will be attacked about the Sabbath test takers......... But was anyone else confused as all hell as to who you're supposed to be for the inbasket???? I thought I was missing papers!

We are as disappointed in this test as you. We prepared you to the best of our ability and we have been preparing students for 12 years. I took the test and cant believe that they would ask you 29-30 reading comprehension, grammar, judgment, and supervisory questions. This is a major deviation to any NY...

I left a good 12 blank and didnt even have time to bubble in a guess because the bell rang and the proctor snatched it off my desk. Feel like an idiot.

How does it work? Do you bring materials with you? Do you have time to research the answers? Can anyone who has done this before, shed some light?

RISING IDIOT · RISING IDIOT

Has anyone actually gone to one? If so can you shed some light for me. Is it discussed in a group setting, or is everything written and submitted? Should you bring the patrol guide (and in this case, a websters dictionary). Also, when is it?--yes I know the date is on my answer sheet but I left it in my locke...

With all that's going on with the FDNY extrance exams being racist, there is a strong possibility that this test was given in a such a manner that it will allow them to promoted whomever they feel like?

Ladies and Gents, here's the bottom line. The test was challenging because the City is broke AND there is NO need for anymore Lieutenants. In addition, There are over 600 hundred candidates remaining on the 2006 list. And finally, when they do have classes, what's usually the size of them???? 20-2...

I remember when they sent out the revised Notice of Examination. The Fast Track instructors just blew it off. Looking back, perhaps we should have read into it a bit more.

For those of you who didnt take the exam yet, and want a quick insight, go to the bar before the exam and have a few cold ones, I think this will help you pass over rigorous studying that many of us endured. Good Luck !!!
