you can do the run and the JST until december 2 to count for this exam.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Turtle I know if you pass its a total of .5 point

Can you take it more than once to pick up perhaps a full point or 2 points? Or is it once you pass its just .5 and thats it?

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Goddamn this sucks. I didn't know they dish out point totals from the time we got off our probe period.

Iliketurtles · Veteran Member

you can get a total of 2.5 points towards promotion. But that takes 5 years of doing the 1.5 mile run/JST to get to that 5 points.

.2 pts for passing the run once a year + .3 pts for passing the JST once a year = .5 pts every year for a maximum of 5 years = 2.5 pts

Su Madre 24 · Guru

A once per year. I see! Well next time whether its for my sgt RETAKE or a Lt Exam (god willing). I shall do the above!

MamaBear · Senior Member

I did the run and JST, does anyone know how many points you get? I only did it once... Thanks

Friendly Raccoon · Veteran Member

.33

3yrWonder · Senior Member

You get .2 points for the run and .3 points for the jst. For anyone wanting to do this you have to pass the run before you can schedule to do the jst.

120bellsboat · Newbie

how much time do they give you for the run? Is it the same as in the academy?

TIA

3yrWonder · Senior Member

14:21 for the run and 3:32 for the jst

Huyova · Senior Member

These longevity points, those dates...are they from when you got hired, or from when you got of probation? So if a cop got hired on the job in 2005, do you start getting points at 2005, or 2007? Thanks

63ASAP · Guru

it goes from date of hire

DatnoidS · Veteran Member

does any1 kno if we can do the fitness incentive even after test?

RMP6969 · Senior Member

Not 100% but I believe you have till December 2nd of this yr if you want the pts to count towards this years exam.

CryTwoSeven · Guru

Save it for the LT test

RMP6969 · Senior Member

I totally agree with you Cry. And thats exactly what i plan on doing. Using the points on the sgt's exam is pretty much a waste. The LT exam is the more competitive exam, and I could use every point possible.

3yrWonder · Senior Member

Well since the next Lt exam isn't going to be for another 4-5 years you can get that half point each year for the next 4-5 years. 2-2.5 points on a Lt exam can be huge
