E D · Senior Member

I heard you are an idiot!

QUEENS GAL · Newbie

This can't be for real...

oneadditional · Guru

I heard nobody passed so they're just going to keep this list going. Next lieu test in June 23, 2015. Classes start next month.

QUEENS GAL · Newbie

I don't believe that for a second.

QUEENS GAL · Newbie

If the test is four years away, why would classes start next month genius?

oneadditional · Guru

This was the hardest most ridiculous test ever! How can 200 ppl passing not be a reasonable assumption?

NYPD231 · Senior Member

I heard that its closer to 100.

Abeyance · Senior Member

You forgot the source!

I heard from my buddy, who has a friend at 1PP, who is banging a girl in the COD office, who heard from the cop who works in the chief's office, that the test was off the wall!!!

Oh yeah- put that statement in front of my last post.

nycop80 · Guru

I heard Dcas is playing lottery and random people will pass.

RISING IDIOT · Senior Member

Heard 200-300.

NYG37 · Senior Member

Who's is advising of these numbers?

nycop80 · Guru

I also heard 200. From a reliable person who knows a dog who is a pet of the ts who knows this Lt who ate dinner with his cousin who knows a guy who works at Dcas .

Confirmed.

RISING IDIOT · Senior Member

A friend that works in the building. Def not confirmed, just saying what I heard. I expect the actual # to be much higher.

I would actually believe that. 10% is definitely possible.

oneadditional · Guru

Confirmed from Ms. Cleo

I heard only around 200 people broke a 70 and the highest raw score was a 78.

I actually h eard something very similar, but the number was 217 passed. I dont know how true, but that would be crazy !!

stiggityone · Guru

Thank you Schnaggles...and ED....you are still a fat ballbag. I was just passing info along, that's what this board is for. I actually think the number makes sense. Chances are only around 10% passed, sorry if you're not one of them.

oneadditional · Guru

What ever number passed by the time this answer key comes out on the 28th will sky rocket by the time we're done with these protest so I wouldn't sweat it.

Abeyance · Senior Member

Wishfull thinking, based on what? But then again all things are possible.

oneadditional · Guru

Based on the fact that those judgement questions get thrown out

oneadditional · Guru

It's not just us fighting this, we have schools backing us and they've been in this business for years.

Abeyance · Senior Member

yeah those schools that left us hanging right.

Schools backing us? Dont make me laugh. Just cause these schools sent out an email doesnt mean there backing us. I dont see them holding a class to teach us how to protest these question. All they did was send a damn email. The schools are a joke. I should fill out a 61 for grand larceny for all the f*cking money i spent on their useless courses!

Abeyance · Senior Member

Do you get additional compensation for writing that propaganda? school lover?

The protest classes are $90 dollars. $150 if you want the dvd that comes with it. They start next week.

Abeyance · Senior Member

Don't take it personal 1+, I just don't have the same regard for 'The Schools'.

NYG37 · Senior Member

Unless I misinterpreted keys email didn't they say that it will be very hard to have judgment questions thrown out?

oneadditional · Guru

You're absolutely right. I agree. I'm just having a bit of hope but I'll be there with my u-haul full of protest material.

oneadditional · Guru

OK OK guys I take that back

Abeyance · Senior Member

I hope that I, along with many others who studied wholeheartedly will pass and be promoted. I commend you for your attitude!!!

unborn · Guru

If we had all taken a "normal" Lt exam we would all be commending the schools for doing a great job - and for every exam given in the last 20 years, their material was sufficient. I guess it's their fault the job threw this nonsense test out there ?

I dont have a problem with how the schools taught us. I have a problem with how they abandon us after the test was over. I guess since the test is over n done with we are no longer there students even though i dropped a sh!t load of money and went to every class! Azzholes!

First of the job did not throw this, it was the City of New York. The blame is not with the schools. What the schools share in all of this is complacency and getting used to how things were done for the past 20 years.

Actually I don't know if it was the City or the Job. Oops.

OkeeDokee · Veteran Member

It looks like most people had more trouble w/the P.G. questions than the judgement questions.

oneadditional · Guru

Thats because the writers confused themselves as well as us with these questions.

staystrong · Veteran Member

The bottom line is that all of us were thrown off with the judgement questions that DCAS decided to determine how many had to be written. So stop blaming the city or the test writers!!! Blame the City for not having control over knowing this and getting it out to the test takers. And the truth is YOU CANT STUDY AND MEMORIZE FOR THESE TYPE OF QUESTIONS!!! You either know it or you dont. As far as the Patrol Guide Questions are concerned......you guys are exaggerating! Yes there were hard questions but what did you expect??? There were also groud balls! No exam is 100% perfect as the writers arent perfect. They are exactly like all of us LT.'s and a Captain. They didnt go to a special school to write perfect questions so that all of us can pass with flying colors!!!!. So get over it and protest what can be protested with legitimate factual material to back it up and point the finger where it belongs. The question who really is to blame?????

You have 2 posts on here and both are defending the exam writers, so I'm guessing you were one of them. Ok - the judgement questions came from DCAS, but it's inexcusable that someone who knew the PG cover-to-cover would have problems with the questions.

How hard is it to make a question which has one right answer, and you either know it or you don't? Rising Star made up over a thousand questions and even though they were tough and tested obscure proceures, virtually all of them had one right answer. The exam was sloppy and I spent more time trying to figure out wtf was being asked than answering the question.
