According to a friends letter they got in the mail for the upcoming Sgts Test there is no more Candidate Answer Sheet. The only way to find out your wrong answers is at the Protest Session.

... How can you check your answers on Protest Session without having your own answer key to compare it ?
they expect everyone to Re-Answer each question on the spot to compare their answers ?
somethings off about that..

They prob will bring a copy of your scantron i guess
it's a mess to assign classrooms to cops to take the exams
I Can't imagine trying to assign the cop and the scantron to the same location/room number.
I guess well have to wait and see how they structure this

I am not sure that the city has learned anything over the past year. The constant shuffle of rules and regulations has done nothing to avert a possible legal standing in court, why would they not allow an answer key? Why does dcas still have tests inside a school with small desks and not at the Police Academy? How do you have research questions that are OPTIONAL but not marked in the test booklet as OPTIONAL or given more time to answer them? These are the questions that some in charge should be asking..

I think the best option is to have two tests. both have the same answers and questions but everything is in different order, including the answers.
With two tests, maybe they could administer one test at the old PA, and the remaining at the new academy (depending on how many ppl signed up and building capacity).

Incredible how an agency who's chief responsibility is to administer these tests can be so inept at doing so.

Well they did make two changes for the better: (1) NO MORE research questions, (2) NO MORE weekend exams. It's a start but a lot more needs to be done. Good luck to all taking the upcoming Sergeant's exam!!!

In the last protest they gave you your scantron. So at the protest I imagine you'll get the scantron and be able to check. It sucks though, if I remember correctly the protest is like 2 months later?

In the past the protest sessions started the 5th Monday after the test.

Hey On Point, where did the info come from regarding the "no more research questions"? I haven't heard that yet, but it would be great if that were the case.....6 hours is just not enough time for 130 questions.

Just trying to logically figure this out.
