Lieutenant Exam date

wereinbacklog · Guru

That is exactly what I was thinking of doing.

Bx Bomber · Senior Member

Thanks, that is an excellent idea! I didn't think of it. And, no i'm not being sarcastic.

Scammer2 · Member

Smart idea...

Cathetel · Senior Member

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Taking the 11 SGT test just before the LT test may create false memories of what you think is right. Remember, you can't bring home the test and will have to rely on your memory and the memory of others to recall questions and their answers. These test questions are very intricate with many tricks and loop holes. It's possible that you learn wrong information by merely taking the test. It would be difficult to verify each of your choices and review wrong answers. Just something to keep in mind. I personally would rather study for 4-6 hours and do some practice exams and in-baskets rather than take an exam that I could never truly review.

i mentioned that today..........you will never really know if you got anything right

Shhh · Veteran Member

Keep in mind these are absolutely nothing but rumors that were flying around todays' prep class, but I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm it/heard something similar... LT Test pushed back until Feb 2012 ???

brat4914 · Guru

for the last friggin time...............end of oct 2011

Shhh · Veteran Member

Easyyyyyyyyyy...just checking ;)

LateRiser · Senior Member

any1 knows the score of those Lts that just got promoted? thx

boyblue · Veteran Member

I think around 85. My old sgt told me he would be in the next class and he said he had an 85.

wereinbacklog · Guru

Not true, last promotion class reached list number 466 which scored an 82.58 so this class scored less than that.

LateRiser · Senior Member

definitely not 85. knew some1 that had 85 or 86 and his list # was 250's. ur old sgt probably got skipped for whatever reason. but thx for the input. definitely have to score 80 or above to have a chance of making it.

Montclair03 · Veteran Member

If it was oct, finest would be down already.

btkx15 · Senior Member

Don't think they have to give us a 6 month notification.

stiggityone · Guru

The Sgt's finest only got 5 and a half months notice.

waitingfornassau · Senior Member

I believe there is still debate on what they are going to do about this current list. obviosly they can't promote the whole thing before the expiration. But what do they, do they kill the whole list and establish a new one? Do they continue to hire passed the expiration then kill it? If they do that I think guys that died would have a valid argument in that why kill a list if you already passed the "expiration", why not keep going once you cross that line to promote the whole thing? If they do decide to continue to promote from this list, we might be in for a long wait. Just my thinking, we'll see.

Montclair03 · Veteran Member

They may not have to, but they always do. Think everyone jumped the gun.

brat4914 · Guru

there is no debate re: what to do with the current list.....it WILL expire on April 9, 2012.........and you watch, exam will be Oct 29th

Scammer2 · Member

I have faith in your words Brat! I so hope so cause I don't want another holiday and especially, Football season, ruined...

Also, the job is under the obligation to announce the exam within 4 months only of the test date...

nycop80 · Guru

says who ?

waitingfornassau · Senior Member

You are probably right, I just think something is not right due to the fact that there was no mention of a Sgt test a month or two ago and Lt was slotted in for Oct 15, then out of nowhere they announce a Sgt exam for that date and since then there has been no mention of an Lt exam. If there was nothing up why wont they announce a date?

nycop80 · Guru

it will be announced be patient.

Montclair03 · Veteran Member

I have a feeling, they told everyone that they were gonna give a test, but not which and they got it wrong. Yeah there gonna a test but who knows when

brat4914 · Guru

im sure oct 29th........so thelonger ittakes the longer you have to study !

Jimmy McNulty · Senior Member

Montclair makes a great point, that's probably exactly what happened. When the schools first announced the LTs test they said Oct 15. Now that's the official date of the sgts test, they rain made us. "A guy tells you if you pay him, he can make it rain. If and when it rains, he takes credit. If and when it doesn't, he finds a reason to make you pay him more" -Levy. This test isn't going to be til February/March and well prob have to pay extra to keep going to class after October, I'm not wasting my summer studying for no reason!!!

brat4914 · Guru

mcNulty..........you're foolish !

To nycop80, there was a court decree against the city that was either initiated or settled back in 1986. It ended up that the city is now under obligation to announce the exam within 4 to 6 months of the exam date. They almost always have been announcing exams 6 months to the day so everyone came under the impression that that was the rule.

I don't know if u'r taking any classes, but I go to the Key. If you get a chance u can ask either of the Shea brothers, they should know what I'm talking about....or some boss of the same caliber and job knowledge anyhow. Don't want anyone to think I'm posting crap out of my imagination.

That aside, to all, keep studying, it will happen, just as Brat and nycop80 says...good luck! aww

So far, the only announcement of an exam came from the schools!

queensloser · Senior Member

Heard possibly february 2012 unconfirmed......The rumors were for the sgts test in oct not the LTS

brat4914 · Guru

youre all idiots........oct 29th it will be

stiggityone · Guru

Dcas has Oct 29th reserved. Finest should come down this week. Don't let people who have a vested interest in this test getting pushed back tell you otherwise

brat4914 · Guru

I am glad someone else believes me

Scammer2 · Member

I'm there with ya too Brat, too much bad information being spread and I don't know why anyone is quick to believe....

nycop80 · Guru

i agree with brat

fodx · Guru

Here's a good question. For the guys that go in for the October class, promotions will obviously be Friday the 28th. Will they be eligible to take the test on the 29th since its the next day? One day in rank right?

brat4914 · Guru

so who's saying there's definately going to be an October 28th promotion????

infinity · Senior Member

The same people who are saying the test is next march

brat4914 · Guru

who are the same people who will fail the test

infinity · Senior Member

The same people saying OCT 16 the current sgt list will be cut

nycop80 · Guru

fodx, that should be an easy answer, you know with bmoc for SGT you arent actually promoted until bmoc finishes and you go on stage shake the pc's hands and get your new shield. SO if they enter bmoc OCT 28th, The answer IS NO , they are not eligible. IF there was a promotion ceremony on the 28th and the decided to give the new sgt's the shields early just so they can take the LT exam,than that would work, i guess it is possible.

fodx · Guru

nycop80, I didnt say if they GO IN to bmoc on the 28th. I said if the promotion ceremony is the 28th (going on stage, shake the pc's hand, get the shield, bla bla bla), can they take the LT test the next day? Im assuming yes.

20yrSentence · Senior Member

i couldnt see why not

brat4914 · Guru

ok, just found out for sure......provided you walk across that stage and receive your sgt shield before the exam is given you are good to go.

So yes, if you get made on the 28th and they give the exam on the 29th you are eligible !!!

nycop80 · Guru

yup

nycop80 · Guru

did you doubt me brat4914 , come on?

brat4914 · Guru

you didnt sound positive.........you said, "i guess its possible"

i just made absolute sure.......sorry smile

wereinbacklog · Guru

It's official finest came down for d LT exam October 29th.

brat4914 · Guru

wereinbacklog · Guru
