Number of People who Passed...

20andout · Veteran Member

ARE YOU SERIOUS ? THAT MIGHT BE GOING A LITTLE BIT TO FAR BUDDY. confuse

ARE U GOING TO ASK ABOUT MEDALS AND SENIORITY FOR EACH PERSON SO WE CAN ESTABLISH OUR OWN LIST AS WELL ?

youcallwebrawl · Veteran Member

Dont forget the physical fitness points too..LOL

MCD · Veteran Member

you are going to drive yourself nuts thinking about it. There are so many different things to factor in with the list. Perfect example, I got a 75 and have over 10 years which is 6.7 points approx, plus 2.5 for veterans credit and another point im medals so I will end up with around an 85. Now someone with a 84 with less than five years and no medals or military will be behind me so everyone will have a different situation, either amount of seniority or military plus medals and of coarse raw score will make the final determination. Someone may start at number 200 and then find out they have been bumped to 300 in the blink of an eye. You will only know when the official list comes out.

A lot. This was a ground ball of an exam.

ThanksToGod · Member

I think what 3yrWonder suggests is a good idea. If we know how many people score @ least a 70 from every commamd, that will give us a rough idea how many people will be on the list. As we know DCAS will take probably a good 4 to 6 months to come out with a list. Just like we did for the answer key we can do the same for the list. And by the way we don't have to factor seniority, medals etc... all we need to know is how many people get @ least a 70. After spending so many months studying it's hard to keep waiting and waiting. let's give it a shot.

Somehow the number of people who passed always leaks out. Just give it a few days.

You should save your veterans credit for the next LT test You are going to get promoted regardless without using them with your score . Once you use it on a promotional exam or even the P.O. entrance exam you cant use it again. Good luck

So far, the number that has leaked out from this exam ranges from 500 to 2,500 evileye

I don't remember any of the "inside" figures from the last exam being anything close to what wound up being true.

So I guess wait and see.

3yrWonder · Senior Member

I'm not factoring any points I just want to know the number of people who PASSSED 70 and above in each command just to get a round about figure if it's anything like the protest session I went to today only like 25 people showed up which could mean either a lot of people passed or a lot of people didn't give a crap

So far i only heard of 5 passing out of about 30 im my command. Heard rumor from a LT. that the number was around 400. In years past, I heard of a lot more taking the test. Even the in-basket classes and weekly classes at the Key were half empty the second half of the coarse. A lot of people lost their enthusiasm after we settled our contracts and think about it, how many people even really look at this site, its not nearly as many as you think. Also, most likley 80% of the people who did pass got in the seventies like myself. If you have any seniority or other points to add in you will be fine. One last thing, this test was like all other tests, maybe a little harder, maybe a little easier, the number will be around the same number as the last several tests. Any where from 375 to 575, either way its not as many as you may think. Plus there are always people who get passed up on the list because not enough time, not enough college, jammed up or whatever the case may be. Dont sweat it, you will get there if you passed.

3yrWonder · Senior Member

MCD, pm me your command I'll add it to the list along with others....I'm sure people on here know people in other commands, try to inquire from them the number who passed, I'll be doing the same.

72 PCT ---15 passed
8 got an 80 or better
1 got a 100

brooklynbacon · Guru

Who cares how many passed? You have a good year+ until the list is established. What are you going to do with this info over the next year?

RISING IDIOT · Senior Member

APPROX 2700 PEOPLE PASSED. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. WITH THE BUDGET WOES, THE CITY DUMBED DOWN THE TEST SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO ADMINISTER ANOTHER ONE FOR FOUR YEARS

I heard around 2300.

fodx · Guru

IMO more people passed than usual BUT its not because the dumbed down the test but simply because Sgt's have a beter contract now. Now its more appealing

3yrWonder · Senior Member

brooklynbacon, there are people who take the test because they are unhappy where they are. If we get a number on how many passed then those people as well as people who just want to know, will have a round about figure on how long before they get out of where they're at, almost like a light at the end of the tunnel, it's a mental thing. I myself like where I'm at but want to know how long before I have to never write a summons again as well as other things. That is the purpose. So, if you like, PM me, and I'll add your commands numbers to the list.

3yrWonder · Senior Member

my guess is around 800 to 1000, we'll see

PaulyProtein · Newbie

7 passed from the 9th

collarsfordollars · Senior Member

From the source in DCAS over 2000 passed before throw outs. Sorry but couldn't get exact number. People definatelly would die on this list.

NOTAGAIN · Veteran Member

YOU GUYS ARE TALKING CRAZZY. THE DEPT WILL BE LUCKY TO SEE 700 TOPS!

notsomuch · Veteran Member

Actually, I heard almost 5,000 passed. Why is it after every exam, the people who passed the previous one feel the need to put down the current test? Oh!! I know... these are the same jerkoffs that wear the mile high rack w/ BS collars, you know the guy that inserts themself into every war story like they were there "back in the day". Let it go. Don't listen to these morons!!!

sackex · Member

7 passed from 61

sackex · Member

and if people think they dumbed down the test no way 2007 was a very hard test...2008 was way easier then this test and i didnt study and i just barely failed. 2009 was tricky you had to really look at it before you can get the answer down pack. to me 2008 test was more straight forward then this one

notsomuch · Veteran Member

And the book gets bigger every year

RICH-PD · Senior Member

look like 10 or so from the 122

rising idiot...what the hell are you talkin about they dumbed the test down so they dont have to give another one next year.... the city makes a half million dollars every time they give one of the tests...

65 bucks X 5-6,000 cops......

easy money for them...

Fmzac · Veteran Member

My source confirmed the number is around 400

Oleiry · Veteran Member

Why people never listen to me I told you 380 passed from a very reliable source. This doesn't include eliminated questions, nor double answers.

Same here. Over double the last exam.

And i want to know who these sources are too. Is it the 3 year cop without a gun or shield at central booking? Or the day tour civilian cleaner?

notsomuch · Veteran Member

Listen, we all want to know how many people passed. Just try and enjoy the fact that you know you will be on that list when it comes out. Right now the Dept is sitting on it's hands "like always", trying to see how we can do "more with less". They still need to go through the other list. "Our time will come"!!!

hollar · Guru

is not enough to pass, lol..

the ringer · Senior Member

1st of all who cares how many passed....all that matters is that you did pass....i actually heard the same as oliery did of about 380....which does make sense...my command last yr, at this time there were about 10 that passed...after they thew out one question that bumped another 2. this year im one of five....all you should care is how many of them dont have 5 yrs yet...cause that bumps me in quicker....the rest is a waste of time...i suugest you all go reward yourselves and go get x box guitar hero and by the time you get bored with it ....the list will be out.....

hollar · Guru

lol..... face reality....

notsomuch · Veteran Member

hollar I don't follow you...are people too serious or not serious enough? and I'm not being sarcastic.

the ringer · Senior Member

reality is that these list go kinda quickly...even tho the economy sux...that stimulus package may move the list again....sgts get promoted, as do all the way up///in which they need to replace them...cops get hired and need bosses to watch them....these tests do cost the city money especially , to pay for those snooring hallway monitors...plus all the paper made etc....they wont dumb down the tests cuz then that turns into a liability factor...

brooklynbacon · Guru

Dumb it down? No. That would be like having a question that asks 'How many years does 3 hash marks signify?'

But this exam was more straight forward. I think the majority will agree with that.

Oleiry · Veteran Member

Brooklynbacon you really scored over 90% on this exam right?

RICH-PD · Senior Member

96 here lol.....did anyone get a 100 on this thing?...wondering where im standing

zoo-master · Veteran Member

73pct about 6 or 7 people passed. Only 2 guys are at top pay. Top score was 85. Two scored in the low 80's and the other barely passed.

jp · Member

I believe someone in the 72 got 100

zoo-master · Veteran Member

96 huh. Sux that you didn't get 100. Then you could of told people you completly have no life what-so-ever.LOL I'm not hating, I scored fairly well aslo but nowhere near a 96

RICH-PD · Senior Member

Fmzac · Veteran Member
