2010 January sgt test

brooklynbacon · Guru

So theres a 2010 exam and the 2009 exam will be thrown out due to too many errors? Yeah, ok...

JMILZ · Veteran Member

I love reading these forums. How is it confirmed that a 2010 test is comming out when the 2009 is not made public yet?
Is Ms. Cleo working in 1PP?
Will I find happiness in 2009?
What about love?
Did I even pass the 2009 test?

If you read my post I said I believe the test should be thrown out now whether it will be or not I have no clue. All I am saying is that the academy confirmed there is going to be a sgt in january of 2010 they just do not have a date yet.

Oleiry · Veteran Member

confirm, there will be a test for 2010.

SKELLGEL · Veteran Member

I hope there is another test...If there is; that means that those who passed the 09 exam will get made within 2 years! Not bad at all!!

infinity · Senior Member

Why would it mean that?

SKELLGEL · Veteran Member

I guess if they plan on administering another exam they are in dire need of Sgts. 1 active list, another waiting for activation and another exam pending...You do the math.

they announced the 09 test b4 the 08 list was public. 09 listdoes not have to be made public first

Oleiry · Veteran Member

Come on guys, is the old trick in the book. They will announced an exam for 2010, then once the filing date is expired, then they will released the list for 2009, and placed a final key on DCAS. Why, easy so the people who alleged to have low score and the people who fail by one or two points re-apply for the up-coming exam. But it is confirm, there is going to be a 2010 Sgt's exam to be administer on February 2010, stand-by for the finest.

LOLO · Senior Member

Your absolutely correct smile

this is probably the snartest thing that has been written in this forum.

notsomuch · Veteran Member

I love snart things!!! They make me feel warm and mooshie inside.

Fmzac · Veteran Member

What no seems to be mentioning on any of these forums is that the city's Fiscal year starts in July, thats why there is a class going in on June 29th. My personal belief (I don't have any inside info). Is that the list will start moving again over the summer and through the Fall. The Job needs Sgt's badly, and I dont think the 2009 list is gonna be very big either.
Just my opinion.............

LOLO · Senior Member

That's the idea wink

cat · Senior Member

JMILZ; I WAS TOLD A TEST WILL BE OUT IN 2010!

-- Edited by cat on Wednesday 17th of June 2009 09:29:45 PM

notsomuch · Veteran Member

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "No 2010 test!" It seems that more people passed the last test, and the 08 list still has alot of eligibles remaining. I hope I'm wrong. biggrin

nycop80 · Guru

any info on LT exam ?

Jack Mehoff · Veteran Member

There's not going to be a 2010 Sgt's exam. The fiscal year starts in July and it was not worked into the budget. A person from EMD states that about 700 people, give or take, passed this last exam, and with the 400 or so names left on the 2008 list, there is no need to give another exam so quickly. The only change for the 2009 test is that question 76 is a double answer in which they will accept A as a correct answer, as well as C, which was the origional correct answer. There were no throw outs. They plan on another Lt's exam in about 2 years. So put the 2010 test talk to bed.

HousingDude · Veteran Member

Can anyone post what was covered or said during the two day Sgt. class?

btkx15 · Senior Member

Another week, no finest. Hmmm

mike · Veteran Member

I would guess this all depends on how many passed the 2009 exam.

What I have learned in my limited time here is that these exams are just money making scams by the city. It generates easy money and the city is in need of money.

Another exam could bring in a few extra dollars and I would guess it doesn't cost the city all that much.

Also, could they not announce another exam, have people file and pay, and then next year claim economic problems and just delay the date of the exam until at least the summertime?

Peace.

sig226 · Senior Member

Guys, stop fooling yourselves with this "exam=money statements"
For the City of NY those money are peanuts.
the City generates most of cash off the Wall Street, taxes and ports.

Fmzac · Veteran Member

I have to agree with Sig. The city isn't giving a test just to raise a few bucks.

I am not saying they are going to solve their fiscal problems with this, but it is easy way for them to generate extra revenue without spending much.

What were the numbers from the last exam? 5 or 6000 taking it (and only 700 and something passed...)

What govt agency isn't going to pass up that easy money?

Maybe I am jaded, but I don't see how money isn't factored into this...

Peace.

kaysersoze69 · Veteran Member

Is funny to me when people speak of things without making any sense. The city actually loses money when they do a civil service test because of the cost of monitors, creating and also grading the test. The city is considering outsourcing civil service test because of this fact.

mike · Veteran Member

So the city loses money on every test they give....sure...ok...so they give one everyear.

There is no need for a sgt's exam next year, so they are going to give one anyway....during a time when they can't afford anything...and they are losing money by giving the test....to make a list that won't be used for a few years....

That's a good laugh...

Peace.

hollar · Guru

no way the city looses money, lmao

protest guy · Veteran Member

it has nothing to do with the money, if it did why is it taking 4 years to give a lt. or capt exam???? they can make money off them aswell....i also heard sgt.s test in feb 2010

LOLO · Senior Member

I also just heard there's gonna be a 2011,2012,20,13,20,14,2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020,2021,2022,2023,2025,2025 sergent's exam LMFAO biggrin

Guys wait to get good info and write productive things on this forum

Thanx

AandD · Newbie

biggrin THAT IS HILARIOUS!

15yrwonder · Veteran Member

ksa sent out an e-mail that the job wants to give another exam late in 2010. that may be good news for those who passed the 2009 exam.

nohook · Veteran Member

Hey, Guys stop it.
I say there won't be a sgt 2010 until maybe after june.

1. Go to dcas website they are already up to JUNE 2010 tentative exam. there is no SGT test there.
2. I believe in the theory that they will announce it 6 month before the date.

until then sit back, relax enjoy the job.
We' all will have plenty of time to study for it. And only maybe %10 will pass.

IhatePG212207 · Veteran Member

I might agree to what you have said, but when they announce a tentative exam at DCAS, they would placed in their website when said exam is going to be administered. So far the Department is proposing to give an exam for August 2010 and DCAS so far has their scheduled for June 2010. With that said, DCAS is not up to that date on their calendar as per DCAS website. DCAS updates their website every sunday at midnight. If they give said exam, then the department will broadcast that finest either by January or February 2010.

Where is everyone getting these dates from? June/ August?

boyblue · Veteran Member

I am sure KSA and the other schools have people that give them reliable information. However, I don't see why they would need another test. They have over 200 names on the 08 list, and God knows how many people passed the 09 test. Add to that there aren't any large classes going in and because of the economy, the retirements have slowed to a trickle. (All of my SGTS. except for two of them have over 20 years and one of the under 20 is on the LT. list) I believe this month they are going to have less than 200 people going into the academy and that is only because Fed money is going towards securing the Transit system.

I want the 09 list to come out as badly as the next person, but really, it seems like they won't even exhaust this list to at best the summer.

Doc22 · Veteran Member

I agree, no cops hired means no sgts needed. They are not even finished with the 08 list and at least 600 people on ours so.......do you really think they need another test?

15yrwonder · Veteran Member

i heard through a source in apd 1600-2000 new hires in june.

fodx · Guru

1600-2000??? That seems like too much of a jump from the 1-8 that went in today. I could see maybe 500-600 but 2000? I smell bullshat.

They did put out an opening for 20+ new investigators in APD. So they do plan on hiring somebody (either civilians or UMOS)
