I am not in the palace and do not have any inside connections however this is why the last 30 DO NOT count!!! I received an email from DCAS 3 weeks prior to the test that stated "there will be research questions that are in the test and you SHOULD answer all the questions. Apparently they are having pr...

Any idea which 30 don't count, a lot of guys in my command only answered first 100, leaving last 30 unanswered. Hope they did not f*** themselves!

This is pure nonsense. Sure, with every exam comes controversy and complaints, however THIS EXAM STANDS ALONE in atypical fashion. The entire exam is flawed for a multitude of reasons. To say SHOULD vs MUST is word semantics is correct, but isnt the entire test based on "word semantics" ?...

I am so stressed! I studied for months and never missed a class. I didn't get past 100. I don't know why I thought rhat the last 30 were the questions that didn't count. Could anyone let me know what thw last 30 were all about or should I be ok?

Other than your answer key. I've never attended one before. Are there NYPD bosses there? Or is it just DCAS employees?

Guys, I read a lot of the threads on this forum, despite me having no stake in this test whatsoever. During the time I've been here, I've seen the same things over and over again.

So i decided to give DCAS the benefit of the doubt and came to a conclusion that they may possibly throw out the worst 30 questions, in other words throw out the 30 most incorrect questions, for the purpose of promoting more people that pass with 100-80 rather than 80-70. Why? maybe it looks better that t...

As always there are many rumors going around about the test leaving it hard to believe one another.
