Thanks CAT!!!!!!,.....No,...NO SHOE FLY FOR ME IN 2010,....LOL.

Lets see there are over 1100 people still on the current list and a lts list has never been killed with elig. people on it. Still a long way to go b4 you start thinking bout lt.

the nypd now has to cut 78 million in expense so you dont know this is going to effect promotions

What was untrue about that statement?

Routinely you need to score high on a Lt's test, if you score in the low 70's recent history dictates you'll never get made.

the previous lt's list had a cut off score of 81, i don't think the dept is going to kill itself to get to people with 70's. i doubt they will get through 1100 names in 4 years on a lt's list. Fall of 2010 sounds about right to me. But that's a long way away and a lot can change in the meantime.

The department is not going to get to every name on the current list.  The big difference between the current list and prior lists is that now anyone with a 70 or above makes the list.  In prior lists, the length of it was determined by the anticipated vacancies.  That is why they never killed those lists. In theory you can now have 3000 people get over a 70 and all of them will be on a list.  They will never promote that many.  The department wants only the people with top scores now.   With the big economic slowdown, people losing jobs and the fact that the rank and file have gotten some decent raises in recent times, people are not going to leave like they use to, especially at the LT rank.  The only reason why everyone made it on the last list, was because the people on the back end were only there because they did not recieve the city residency points.  You can also factor in the fact that it was one of the highest scoring exams in recent times.  The job made an exception and went beyond by going way over budget to get those people in.  They won't do that for people with
70's, you can bet your bottom dollar on that.

Exactly. Unlike the SGT list, not everyone on the current LT list is being made. There are way too many people on it to promote at that rank. Realistically, you will need a high 70s score to be promoted at the LT rank and i expect the next exam in 2010 or whenever to be no different. The SGT exam is another story where 70 = promoted.
