Anyone else notice that the legendary "Gamblor" vested out?? Hopefully he landed something great as he was always a scholar and a gentleman on this forum and in real life. God Bless you sir and thank you for all your years of service and insight on RS.

Disclaimer: I'm not a quantitative mathematician and some of these numbers might not be exact. This is from the data I quickly gathered and the best I could put together. Between 10/30/2015 and 07/28/2017, a period of 1.75 years, 103 captains were promoted from the 2014 Captain's List. This is a rate...

482 sat for the test. This info is from a FOIL request. Looks like a Pass rate between 45 and 50 percent.

I am hearing intel that the person who was responsible for the overhaul of promotion process within the department has been demoted as of yesterday. Just wanted to share the information

Congrats to all. Its a great feeling to take three tests and pass three tests. It also appears that All will get made with a list size of 266. Itll just take the full four years.

There is a fundamental flaw in the scaling of the exam that any B student who took a statistics class in high school should be able to identify.

I know a guy who showed me his notification to report to DCAS on Friday for his vets points interview. Apparently he and a few other guys in the first class promoted off of the 2015 Lt exam got to rescind their vet points that they used on the Lt exam so that they can use them on the Capt exam. Makes sense becau...

Can someone post the list that's floating around with the raw scores? And if anyone wants to add the eligibility date to it as well that would be very useful. The majority of the list doesn't have the time in rank to get promoted right now and I believe they will be eligible in August of 2018.

Anyone notice that any top pay Lt will be making $125,530 base starting on 5/1/18 but a new captain will be making $124,477 on that same date? Pay scale doesn't correct itself until the next Capt contract kicks in on 10/1/18. Wonder if the Dept will not promote any capts between May and Oct to avoid th...

Hey all, in the final stretch and trying to cram. How many of you have a experience with Yanosik's cram packet?. He has very specific procedures in it, and I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how accurate its been in predicting what will be on the exam. There is little time left and I'm trying to...
