I hope it was the last 15 because I got 5 wrong out of the last 15 questions and that will put me over a 70.

I doubt that the supervisory decision questions will get thrown out. The same general argument made stating that there was no point of reference for those questions will also make them impossible to protest. Without a specific reference, it is difficult to argue that one answer is better than another. They (meaning DCAS) obviously had a line of thinking where they wanted you to choose a specific answer. In order to get a question doubled or thrown out, you will have to write a protest that spells out specifically that an incorrect answer was as good as the correct one, and why. It cannot be simply, "we couldn't study for those so throw them all out."
When protesting those, make sure you spell out why a particular answer should have been correct. Personally, I only have 3 wrong from those questions. Many of them really only had one correct choice, at least, it appeared that way to me.

The fact that no reference was given is reason alone for those questions to get thrown out! With no point of reference the questions turn more into a guessing game of what dcas wants. Not a actual question with a legit answer.

I believe they all can be thrown out because risingstar ( i think ) pointed out that in the book it self,. it says that the material in the book isn't fact and shouldn't be used for test and thats why the department stopped testing on it.

I think I read somewhere that there were four of those judgement type questions on the Capt. test. Does anyone know if those questions were thrown out or kept?
