brat, i dont understand it!

I would have to concur. Wasn't sure what to expect, certainly not what I saw though.

What salami said

Imo a lot of questions based on subjective opinion

I've neever seen anything like that in my life.
In basket doesn't tell you who you are, 3 roll calls, reading comprehension, all that math, Crazy grammar, opinions, subjective bullish*t!!!

That must of been what the last Capt test was like. I don't see too many people passing.

Only about 50-60 of the questions were actual PG. No AG, No LBB, No PL (well sorta, I think it was more of a Crime Reference Guide question). Don't worry I am not giving anything away to the Sabbath observers, they could know the entire PG and fail by 10. A lot of opinion, judgement, subjective questions that often conflict with PG procedures. I mean in one question all the choices enabled a cop to steal? Another EEO question all the choices conflicted with reporting it? I am not giving away anything bc if anyone looks up anything on stealing dept property or EEO's, they didn't give you choices that matched the PG at all. So a bum off the street could guess as well as the best PG student...

I studied for 8 months straight... I was hoping to in like the first 200. The people who didn't even open the book once have the same chance as me passing this f****in test!!! Unbelievable ... Never seen anything like this. I ve got only 9 wrong on the fast track test, am praying for a70 here!!!!

i agree, i was hoping to be somewhere on top of the list but now i'm just hoping for a 70....smh

Yea I put in a solid 6 months and even thought the actual PG questions were tough. There weren't many give me's. I was expecting 50 easy PG questions and perhaps a bunch of moderately hard and 10-15 really petty, tricky, difficult questions. Instead we got about 25 hard PG questions and maybe 25-30 moderate questions, nothing too easy. In Basket was strange and I had to rush it bc I was running outta time!!!

This test must be thrown out. Nonsense bull crap

i was either going to put all my study material in a pile and urinate on it or burn it, or wait till it dried after peeing on it so i can burn it; but i've come to my senses and will box for the lieutenant test next year..

I am American born, college educated, and have no idea if I got any of those grammar questions right. Just saying.

This test was the entry level Nassau test on steroids. All of a sudden after 150 years they decide to change the whole thing. You would think they would gradually incorporate that judgement nonsense a little at a time but no, here's 40 questions of totally unrelated to the PG. I remember getting some two line piece of mail from DCAS about them changing the requirements of the test. I'm looking for it now to see if there is a middle finger on there in fine print.....unreal!

Ray Kelly has determined that he does not want 1285 people on any list anymore. That is the trend. Look at Captains test. In reality only 70 people passed that test if they had not thrown out questions. This test is no exception. MAJOR CURVEBALL! I cant wait to see how many got RAY KELLY 70!

Can i Report DCAS and every1 that hand in this test to DOI?
if not i would be liable and can face a fine or jail
