Should the entire exam be thrown out?


I think that certain questions should be thrown out. I walked into the test very confident and knowledgeable on the material that I expected to be on the exam. I walked out mentally exhausted and convinced that I would have to come up with a new plan for my career. It is my opinion that the test was terrible, however it was the same for everybody so I think it was fair.

Although I believe most of the leadership questions had only one valid answer, there is no way to know. There are some PG questions that should be thrown out as well. I don't know about the inbasket questions because if we were given an unlimited amount of time to take the test I might still be working on it.

I think the roll call, and the judgment questions should be thrown out

While operating at a fire, Capt. Green, the commander of the Ladder Company 999, was sent by Chief Brown to locate the exact location of the fire. The fire building was two stories in height with a basement. Capt. Green found that the fire was located in one corner at the rear of the basement. The best way for Capt. Green to write this information in a fire report upon returning to the firehouse was as follows:

A) The fire was located on the lower level, in the rear.
B) The fire was located in the southeast corner of the lower level.
C) The fire was located in the southeast corner of the basement.
D) The fire was located in the rear of the basement.


2006 FDNY exam question. Guess the answer. Sounds just like our test right?

 bc the question doesnt state the exact corner, so technically also d. could be the answer...very similar to our test

I think the people voting with the majority are the ones that studied and would have done very well if the exam was what we expected. In my honest opinion, those that want to involve lawyers and get the entire exam thrown out are a mix of wack jobs and dummies that would not have done well irregardless.
