Heard that there is a promotion on 4/24, which means Lt. Class going in with others but Cap class is not sure yet. On 2013 cap list, there are only 9 people available for promotion on 4/24 unless job changes date to 4/27. Usual captain class have 12 to 15 people and 2014 test list is still hiding somewhere in DCAS. They may start promoting from 2014 list before even list is published just 2007 and 2008 sgt. Lists.

September

Wow, in a year they can go through the entire list

Apr 8, 2015
I heard they used to do 100 captains a year, I guess things slowed down, but that 2013 exam should be done by September 2015 if not sooner. Hopefully the 2014 Capt list goes just as fast.

Hearing Captain exam next year.

July was 1st class. Avg about 60 a year. Give or take a few

Apr 8, 2015
Captain exam in 2016 I'm assuming so you'd have new eligible LT's off this next exam eager to take it, or else they'll get a list smaller than 66.

I was told Captain exam in approximately 18 months from the same source as above, who is very reliable. I hope you are right, wereinbacklog because I want to study and get that over with asap!

Don't think the 2014 Captains list will last 18 months. I can see an exam late next year for certain.

Were there any changes at all made from the protest session?

No changes or throwouts I'm hearing.
DumbBrass said

What a slow down! No cap promotion for three consecutive months. No caps in Feb Mar and Apr!
King780 said
Apr 11, 2015
That is true but there are only a few eligible until the end of this month. I'd rather it be a big class of Captains to finish off that list so we can get started. Look at the bright side...u don't have to take a lieutenant test next week. Amazed watching these sergeants cut each other's throats to get days off before the exam.

I think there's still 23 remaining on '13 list. That's two classes.

Why bother, you'll never make Captain!
technocrat1 said
Apr 15, 2015
Here's the latest on the number of passers. Approximately 110-120 passed. The range is based on 5 test takers that passed sometime after this exam was given. Always a few sneaky ones that squeeze by unnoticed, just like the Lieut's test. I can't see a Capt's test anytime soon.
hollar said

Any word when a list will be released?

Apr 15, 2015
How did we get from 66 to possibly 110-120, throw outs?double, tripple answers? Hope it is the guys on the brink.
King780 said
Apr 15, 2015
110-120 sounds good, someone else told me list "may" be in the 100's, thanks for sharing

Thanks to all who are contributing information they receive to those of us in the dark whether 100 % reliable or just simply what they heard from people who may be in the know.

Apr 15, 2015
I heard that # was without any throwouts. As far as the list coming out, I think we are still looking at some time in May.
TheSonofXavier said
Apr 15, 2015
If the list has a hundred names or so, wouldnt that mean there were throwouts / doubles?
wereinbacklog said
Apr 15, 2015
I've been hearing 60 to 70s from the beginning so a little surprised with the 110/120 number. Either way, we will know shortly.
technocrat1 said
Apr 15, 2015
I thought the same thing with the 100 plus. That #, 110-120 has swag in it, but the word was over 100 or close to it. The compiling of all points isn't complete and DCAS does add individuals who score close to the 70 mark in case there are throwouts. These #s reflect a raw list without any cleaning up for points, etc...
King780 said
Apr 15, 2015
Honestly I always thought the number 66 was kind of low because I personally knew a bunch that passed (over 20) and than other lieutenants i would run into also said they passed. So when I was told the list would be anywhere from 60 to 100 I wasn't surprised to hear people on the forum saying 110-120. Should be interesting, a 100+ list should go for 3 years at the least
bigcitysgt said
Apr 15, 2015
The '10 list had 100+, and they had a test in '12. It all depends on retirement rates.
technocrat1 said
Apr 15, 2015
I think a list of 100 or so would be good for 2 years max.
technocrat1 said
Apr 17, 2015
They're done adding points. DCAS has it now. Don't know how long they will hold on to it.
hollar said
Apr 17, 2015
Wtf.... 2015 and the City still operates like is 1985
hollar said
Apr 17, 2015
Techno: how big is the list of you know? It will be interesting where the score range will be...
technocrat1 said
Apr 17, 2015
I still get anywhere from low 100's. But keep in mind the raw list contains names of people who have not broken the 70 percent. They do it in cases changes are anticipated and to keep anyone from actually having the true number of passers before they get it.
technocrat1 said
Apr 17, 2015
From conversations I've had with others, there were quite a few people in the 80's and high 70's. But I also know a few who hit 70 exactly. So the range will stretch pretty far up there.

Just for the record, my unofficial list that i started when the answer key came out wound up with 84 names on it. I stopped taking names at your request. Bottom line is we could have had a very close list a long time ago and knew approx where we stood. Hey its not too late.........
My prediction is 124 names
technocrat1 said
Apr 19, 2015
Your enthusiasm was appreciated. However, many like myself did not want to put our names on a public forum prematurely. This job has many haters! The list should be out shortly.
hollar said
Apr 19, 2015
That was problem also... I didon't mind keeping the names private but not in made public on this forum

Wow, look at that!!! The posts on the 2015 Lieutenant's exam sound very familiar!!! I guess all exam writers must be losers, and the only thing going for them must be their looks...... looks like you're the loser!! Some things you don't forget!.......best to be careful before you speak!........future Captain.
