How many people scored a 65 or above? If everyone with a 65 or above made the list how large will it actually increase? My estimate is around 200.

I got a 67 and I realistically think im not making it. I don't think there will be as many throw outs/double answers as people here are hoping there are

MN50 I hope you're going to the protest session. I think a 67 is very realistic.

I think if you have 68 and depends what questions you have wrong you will get two points. Four or more need a lot of praying.

I'm at a 66. I got 8 wrong from 80- 100. I'm sure 3 of them are judgement questions. I'm praying I will be ok but i'm not depending on it. People who scored 67 and up should be golden.

Im in the same bout as you. I say 66 makes it!

I don't think there will be much play with the judgement questions and besides the aided, dept 53, and the uniform question(which I got right), there aren't many pg questions that will go in our favor. Like nyg37 said, guys with a 68 have the best chance.

Im going to the session and im going to try my hardest. For those of us who sacrificed and put the effort in to passing this sham of a test deserve to pass

Do you think that because you feel the city wont do the right thing? Or because of lack of quality protests? Either way i feel there will be at the very least 8 throw outs/ doubles!

You guys and girls sound like you lost the fight before it started. This was a bad test and Dcas showed us that by tripling an answer even before we protested it if that's not an indication of how bad this test was written I don't know. Let us protest hard together.

The protest session is a few days away please post reasons in favor of protesting questions.

I'm positive #100 is in direct conflict with the patrol guide, that's a definite throw out or double answer. #47 Dept Veh Accident is not our responsibility. I'm not sure if we'll win the aided but I got that wrong. I also put together a good protest for the mother visiting the 21 year old based of the pg stating "between" 16 and 21.

If you're going to attempt to protest 100, might as well protest the over heard conversation in the women's locker room(unsure as to what question#) not one option was to notify OEEO. As a supervisor, once becoming aware of sexual harassment, OEEO must be notified. Not sure if I got this one right, but all the answers were in direct violation of pg procedure regarding OEEO. Also the stolen toilet paper question, once again, non of the options were to notify IAB, violating pg procedure

I looked at the over all scores and most ppl that failed are within the 65 and up. I didn't see many 61 or lower which is where I stand. I think if they throw out a good 5 questions that would make a good list hat won't drag 4 years. So I will be ready in 2013

I will also be protesting question 100 i have a strong argument against the proposed answer.
nycop80 said

I am also arguing the mobilization point question in the in basket , the plaza and parking lot are both good choices. Then we have the pins question which is automatically getting thrown out because the question doesn't make sense. They tried to be sneaky asking about a note but the note had nothing to do with the pins list.

We are the majority. 66 % occupy Dcas on the following dates 11/30, 12/1 12/2. Protest hard my follow Sgt. I will be with you

I got a 66. I really don't know what to think. It probably comes down to the fact that the job doesn't need many Lts, so even if they throw away several answers, if you didn't get above a 70 to begin with, you won't get promoted. 200+ Lts is probably enough of a list to last a couple of years, then they'll just have another test.
TrYAGaiN said

Any body with a 65 or over may have a good shot. It all depends on which answers the person got wrong.

Now if 6 of your answers and none of mine get thrown out we will both have a 72. So people who originally scored above a 70 do not automatically have the same chances.

If u didn't get. A 70 to start you won't get promoted ? You need to lay off the crack brother.

I'm at a 65 and think even scores in the low 60's have a very good chance of making it. There are a lot of poorly written questions. A person can craft an intelligent rebuttal to many of these questions. The Dept went away from "subjective" questioning because its exactly that (subjective). And anyone with a good knowledge of the PG can defend their choices and poke wholes in the answers. There were very few questions that were clear cut. Even with 5-10 throw outs, I don't see the list doubling.

5-10 throw outs, it absolutely doubles and then some.
TrYAGaiN said
Nov 29, 2011
Even if the list doubles it will still be less than 500 and everyone will get made.
technocrat said
Nov 29, 2011
I think the magic number is some where between(500-600). That would satisfy the majority of people that are on the fence, and allow the Dept some time prior to intiating another test.
