RE: I Passed but so did about 23 people at my command. Too many passed.

NotASgtYet · Veteran Member

Gluestick I wish I had your confidence but in reality the police force of the N.Y.P.D is shrinking as we speak. The Jan 2012 has been canceled and we are losing people at an alarming rate via attrition. The fact of the matter is that the rank of Sgt is quickly reaching a saturation point and therefore the needed numbers of Sgt's will diminish. If 3000 did indeed pass this test(looks like that due to how many passed per command) then there is no way in hell that all could be made in 4 years. Many are destined to die on the list or worse yet they will be artificially cut off via a cut off score. Kelly said he was looking to make the best candidates of any list so it is safe to say that a cut off score will be adopted thus insuring the cream of the crop get made.
These are facts so please do not kill the messenger. Educate yourselves before you reply.

3 including myself passed at my command

Gluestick · Veteran Member

For a list of 3000 you would need an average of 25 people to pass per patrol precinct. Even factoring in all the specialized units and dectectives the BULK of sgts come from patrol. BMOC has on average has only 10 people from specialized units and detectives.

Gluestick, do you know how many people at my command passed in the last exam? 6.....As of today there are 23 happy Sgt candidates at my command. Similar stories have been reported in other commands. In one command 4 passed last time and now 13 passed while in another 3 passed before and now 9 passed. So on and so forth. Do you see the pattern? If in the last exam there were 2000+ passing candidates how many do you think will be in this one...My guess is 3000+ but then again the cut off score will remedy that.....DO THE MATH!

12 ppl in my cmd pass. 10 in my old cmd

NotASgtYet · Veteran Member

Transit, can you tell us how many people passed last time around. Some here assume that this list will not be a larger than normal list. Thanks in advance.

Yoyo718 · Veteran Member

There was only 781 people who passed the 2009 exam wtf are u talking about?

queensloser · Senior Member

This test sounds like it broke 1000 still not a bad number 4 years with the list everyone will get made

wereinbacklog · Guru

List will be around 1500-2000 everyone getting promoted in 4 years. I suggest that anyone that hasn't done so schedule themselves for the jst. Believe it or not that .5 is huge in a list of this size.

NotASgtYet · Veteran Member

The list will be around 1500 names......The other people will be artificially whittled away via a cut off score. If I am wrong then I can see the job just letting the all names hit the list but that will set up a lot of people for a drawn out disappointment. Either way the way it looks like many people passed this thing and as a result there can not make everyone so what is coming is an artificial axe which has been used back in the 90's. Where that point of impact shall be no one knows but it has been known to hit the 80+ mark before. This is why I am advocating the run just n case.

If you think everyone is getting made off this list then you are a retard for a lack of a better word.

They have promoted approximately 700 Sergeants in about a year from the 2009 exam and eversince the implementation of the 70% passing grade no list has run its full course (4 years). My prediction, the list will last 4 years with all candidates getting promoted assuming a list of 1500-2000. However this doesn't affect me one bit since I'm already a sgt awaiting my results from the LT exam.

You guys are a bunch of losers! First "there was rampant cheating" I don't know how anyone can possibly know there was "rampant" cheating within mere minutes of the test being administered. Then the test was "on the fast track to being axed". Than came "over half passed", then came "cut off will be implemented", then God knows how many more pot stirring rumors. I stopped reading after about 5 days after the test.
Now the new flavor is "Too many people passed, and you won't make it unless you got an 80+

Come on, stop the bulls..t. Stop being haters!!! You gave it a try and failed, and failed miserably. I don't even know why ANYONE in their right mind would belive these rumors.

My command is somewhat everage (about 280 cops) and so far I know of about 4 people who passed, I'm sure there are others whom I haven't found out about yet, but it's nowhere near what the jackasses above are caliming. And even if many many people passed, who care? The list will be good for 4 years.

So all of you worriers out there, stop listening to these fools. I guess I'm partially guilty of giving stock to their nonsense by replying.

If you got a 70+ YOU WILL BE PROMOTED OFF THIS TEST.

Congrats to all who actually studied and passed. I am one of them.

NotASgtYet · Veteran Member

HAHHAHit it's confirmed....96Times6 either failed or scored a 72+. Have fun thinking you will get made. That is a long 4 years just to find out what I know already. NO STRIPES FOR YOU! I hope to God I supervise you....LOL!

96Times6 · Senior Member

Hey NotASgtYet and doesn't look like will be one soon: You are partially corrrect, I did score above 72. (You wrote 72+) Try 81 + a few longevity points. I guarantee you I will be a Sgt while you are still trolling around these sites as a loser.

NotASgtYet · Veteran Member

Marco, there might be a question or two thrown out. Keep hope alive. All you need is one question.

Marco, my first test ever I walked in cold turkey and remained 2.5 hours and winged everything. WheN i tell you I did not study I mean it. I looked at the in basket and said...WTF! I winged it all but a few things I did know from working patrol......I was surprised when I got a 54. Next test i started to study and then stopped at month 2......I got a 65......LOL. This one I started to study but by month 4 I quit.....WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! I made it.

YOU DIDN'T GET AN 80+ YOU GOT A 77 STOP BEING A ****. i HOPE THE CUT OFF IS 85. i'M NOT IMPRESSED BY YOU "80+" LOSER.

NotASgtYet · Veteran Member

Wisecop, when everything is factored in I have an 80+. Last time I checked they promote you based on overall score and not raw score. Wake up rookie.

If indeed I get cut off then so be it but one thing is for sure I will not act like half the whiny tough guys here pissed off because I dare to tell the truth and not pedal them dreams of promotional grandeur.

Please take the time out and look at what similar *******s were saying in 2009. You will see NotASgtYet comes from a long line of *******s who like to start stupid rumors. Dont listen to this 40yr old virgin who comes on here trying to get attention because he cant get any anywhere else. You are a loser.

I never said the test was getting thrown out. I was nervous about it getting thrown out because of the information what was floating around. I don't have to explain myself to you, you fat fuk.

I have had a knot in my stomach for the past few months getting ready for this exam. I put everything I had into it. In the weeks leading up to the exam I became so stressed. It started to effect my health and it even effected my monthly cycle. Now just when I think after the exam, things would go back to normal for me, I hear from everywhere that this exam might get tossed. I can't take this crap anymore!!!!! It's not fair to the ones who studied hard and put an honest effort into it and who didn't cheat. All I know is, I deserve to be promoted and I shouldn't have to feel stress after the exam is over!!!!!

SimplySgt · Veteran Member

9 passed at my command. Up from 5 last exam.

margaret80 · Veteran Member

Yes I wrote that I've been hearing from everyone that the test will get thrown out. I didn't make any proclamation that it was going to happen. I was sick to my stomach at the thought. Why the hell would I want it thrown out. Go move the fat from your eyelids and re-read what I actually wrote fatback.

Only 1 passed in my command.....

This person's command must be next door to DCAS. 31 passers? 13 with a 90? I think people will die on this list too but come on. This post has troll, Ogre, and Shrek written all over it. Time to go back under your bridge. The billy goats are coming.

I AGREE, BS 31!

margaret80 · Veteran Member

I work in a huge command mamabear. One of the biggest in the entire dept. I'm sure the numbers in my command are probably inline with other commands based on the amt of people we have.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Large Marge I work in a big command too. As of now I know of 9 who passed and 2 at 69

Su Madre 24 · Guru

I am trying to get a real accurate count

bigfoot45 · Guru

My command has just under 200 cops. We have 9 that passed and one with a 69.

bigfoot45 · Guru

Yeah, this list will most likely have a legit 1200 to 1400 names. If you got an 80 or over youll be in the top 700 is my updated guess. Everyone gets made even if it takes the full four years.

gotabimer · Senior Member

my command has 50 cops 6 passed..85,83,87,70,76,73,69,73

So true, a lot of people here talk a big game, but when they get to that wall it's a different story, very funny to watch. It's also a scary thought to know most cant get over a measly wall if their partner's life depended on it. Stop doing it up at the Caridad and wendy's or having 3 course meals during your tour.

i heard fat belly margaret80 was in 3 leftover classes because she fake a lod in the academy when she found out she couldn't get over the wall...that looser

How is this affecting your monthly cycle Margaret? I'm concerned.

Sargtest246 · Veteran Member

My command has about 250 300 cops and about 17 have passed... Last test about 20 passed.. I don't see much of a difference.. Still think the 10% will pass who took this test
