Date: Jan 30, 2008

What was 8/9??

Date: Jan 30, 2008

8 was mobilization point and 9 directions

Date: Jan 30, 2008

In regards to what fighting wrote, that applies to two questions, reading the actual procedure though and trying to remember the actual wording in the question, I don't recall there being a time factor as to when the Sergeant was supposed to make this notification or if they just assumed we would think immediately because of the platoon it occurred on. Does anyone recall #82 in regards to this if they asked, who she so and so notify now/immediately/before tour is over or anything like that? If not, then there are definitely two answers for that question.
What is the actual procedure to protest, photocopy p.g. #, type out on a word doc what they ask and just mail it in?

Date: Jan 30, 2008

copy of scantron - anyone go there to get it yet? don't really want to walk in and ask if i'm just going to get blank stares...

Date: Jan 30, 2008

Dan got C for #64. CPOP got B for #64. Anyone verify

Date: Jan 30, 2008

I think #64 is B but I don't remember the question.

Date: Jan 30, 2008

Does anyone remember what question was the typo? I know that typo questions have been historically known to be thrown out?

Gonzo66 · Veteran Member

Your right! there was a typo...most if not all typos are tossed. Which one was it!

Date: Jan 30, 2008

I believe that it was question #3. I got it wrong because my instructors were de-da-dees and didn't mention to our class about the typo. I hop it gets canned.

Thadet3 · Member

WHOEVER WANTS TO SEND ME A MESSAGE PRIVATELY AND DISCUSS DEBATABLE QUESTIONS , I AM MAKING A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT I CAN RECALL AND LOOKING THEM UP IN THE PG, EVEN THE GROUNDBALLERS, THE GROUNDBALLERS WERE NOT GROUNDBALLERS FOR EVERYONE...YOU CAN'T GO BY THESE KEYS....AND HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DEBATE QUESTIONS WHEN WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SAME STRAIGHT FOWARD QUESTIONS......OVER AND OVER......LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH......ESCPECIALLY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE BORDER OF PASSING AND NOT SURE........

Date: Jan 30, 2008

i had the same problem with #3, was not told about the change. looked at it quick and it was the same as the book so I just disregarded it. let me know if there may be a protest on this question, if so I am in

Date: Jan 30, 2008

I am definitely protesting that question along with a couple of other people I know. So Mike definitely come by.

Date: Jan 30, 2008

Does anyone know for sure the right answers to 8 and 9?
I got 8a and 9D

Date: Jan 30, 2008

Does anyone know the question for the DNA? hmm

Date: Jan 30, 2008

What questions have a chance of being protested? confused

Thadet3 · Member

WHAT WAS #3 , THE PROTESTABLE QUESTION , I THINK I GOT THAT ONE WRONG TOO....

Thadet3 · Member

i'M STILL TRYING TO FIND THE DNA , I THINK IT WAS AN IO.....

Date: Jan 30, 2008

That interim order had to be just recently, because it is not im my patrol guide which was updated for this test. I also never remember talking about it in the key class. Please check and advise. yawn

Date: Jan 30, 2008

People can we really try to figure out what the answer for #64? It is definitely one that we need to put to bed because there are two different answers on these two answer keys!!!

Friends:

We had lively discussion on this website for four days. It helped us identify questions that are protestable. Now, it is the time to protest without being late. I want to protest 3 and 27. What about you?

Stop talking, ACT NOW.

Date: Jan 30, 2008

I'm with you I luvlaurie I got both of those questions wrong 2?

protest guy · Veteran Member

i talked to alot of people an everyone remembers seein #27 as saying orange county (NY) in the question.

protest guy · Veteran Member

does anyone remember what # the x.o. in the donut shop question? i didnt think the choices were good since it was the x.o. an not the c.o. as the subject.

brat4914 · Guru

i guess free coffee for all XO's due to the fact that the procedure doesn't apply to them.

protest guy · Veteran Member

very funny, i didnt say it doesnt apply to them, i ment that since the x.o. is the subject u can tell ur c.o. instead of faxing iab i believe a choice was either that or tell the highest ranking which could be the c.o.

I just have a comment, did it ever happen that the in basket was ever 15 questions only.

Date: Jan 30, 2008

A 2007 Interim Order officially changed sodomy to criminal sex act. DCAS should not be using the term anymore.

protest guy · Veteran Member

im gonna look up that sodomy interim order aswell as the dna one when i get to work hopefully u will all do the same to get those thrown out.

champ939 · Veteran Member

number 3, got me as well... The proctors didn't mention it, but it is my fault for not reading the whole sheet.. I am throwing in a protest with you guys for good ol number 3!!!

Date: Jan 30, 2008

Iluvlaurie. I believe you got #27 wrong because it is wrong on the answer key. The answer is what the PG clearly states you must do in that situation when in resident counties. And for all the stretchers, it clearly said where he was and everyone knew it did. Not one person answered that question thinking the guy was in California, be real. One guy came up with that excuse and now everyone who got it wrong is jumping on board. Just don't think its going to fly. This is all under the assumption that 27 was in fact in regards to above, if not disregard.

For anyone that is interested, Sodomy was changed by Interim Order 43 of 2007 and the DNA question comes from Interim Order 45 of 2005.

I truly believe that continuous even question was easy. Sodomy or Criminal Sexual Act - does not make a difference. But as I said before any question that gets thrown out will benefit everyone.

It wont because if you got it right the first time and others have it wrong, it makes you have an extra point above the people who got it wrong. If it gets thrown out, its all even and though you got it right, everyone else gets it right. Now that means the one with the wrong one and gets thrown out can have 1 extra point more than the one who got it right.

You are wrong. Everyone benefits from a question that is thrown out. Here is why:

There are total 100 questions - 1 point for each question. if let's say 5 questions gets thrown out, then there are 95 questions and each question now is not 1 point but is 1.05. So do the math: people who got 67 now pass. If a question get thrown out every other question then is more than 1 point.

Date: Jan 31, 2008

that is horse****. Dont get their hopes up. If you got the question wrong you get an extra point, if you got it right, you get dick. They do not pass you with a 67 unless you pick up 3 protest questions. There is no such thing as it being graded as 95 questions with each being worth 1.5.....

I am just going by what I heard from last test takers. Logically, if the question is thrown out and some people get a point and others don't is a ground for a major law suite. I may be wrong, so if anyone has different info please post it. And I will edit my post in order not to confuse anyone.

On the different note: A rumor goes in my command that Academy is coming out with its answer key this Saturday. Can anyone confirm or deny?

it is THIS key that was posted in this forum that the people in the pcts are passing around. however, with all the arguing and people changing the answers and saying this and that, that key is probably only like 90% accurate....just everyone wait for the DCAS key to come out on Feb 25th.

YET ANOTHER IDIOT POSTING SHYTE WHEN HE/SHE HAS NO CLUE. LETS MAKE THIS SIMPLE FOR THIS KNOW IT ALL. THEY DONT THROW OUT QUESTIONS AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS. THEY SIMPLY MAKE THE ANSWER ABCD. THEREFORE THOSE WHO GOT IT WRONG GET IT RIGHT AND THOSE WHO GOT IT RIGHT GET NOTHING. IF YOU WERE ON THE JOB LONGER THAN 3 YEARS YOU'D KNOW THAT RETARD.
