Since most of us checking this part of the forum are already sergeants, I'd like us to discuss the cons and pros of the proposed contract before we make a decision. All else remaining equal, I th...

I know we're still three month from this exam but I noticed the current list is winding down. About 120 names left. Leads me to believe we might have a list established by the fall. This would be insanely quick. Thoughts?

2013 Sgt test had 130 questions with 6 hours to complete the test. 2014 Capt test had 120 questions with 6:45 to complete the test. IT IS SAFE TO ASSUME THAT THE APRIL 2015 LT TEST WILL HAVE THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS AS WELL.
