It wasn't the staging area question re: the two diff. parking lots, was it?

4, c also

C as well

c for me.

C here as well...wtf?

I got C too

Wasn't this the question where you recommend to the CO who the new special ops Lt should be? I could be wrong, anyhow I chose the 2nd plt commander who used to be the special ops. Did this jog anyones memory?

I got C for #4 also.

No, that was a separate question. The special ops question you had to look at the personnel background memo in the beginning of the packet

"C" for #4...

I have no idea what Q4 was asking us but how were we expected to make a personnel decision given only 2-3 sentences of information? I remember that they gave us a biography of all the bosses that worked in the command but is that enough information to decide who is more qualified than someone else??

Apparently it is and I'm just a moron who never knew he can authorize admin O.T... A big "Thank You" to the exam writers and DCAS for enlightening me !!!

I got C for Q#4 too.

C also and I have no idea what that question was. It might have been the mobilization because I sort of remember it being one of the first questions. Either that or it was the OT question with picking the RDO guys or whomever.

I got C too! DCAS got it wrong! I'm very confident.

One of only two I had wrong in the in-basket

But my wrong answers were all bunched up-
I got 2 wrong of the in-basket (first 17),
4 wrong of the last 30, and
18 wrong of questions 18-40 (Only 5 right)!

C

so how do we protest this questions (for those off us who also put C)- ?

I went to protest. #4 was the mobilization from the leaking tanker truck. The correct answer was nemorin plaza for whatever reason (i.e. small parking lot). The large parking lot was incorrect.

Blocks were 750 feet across.

Have no idea why I got that wrong.

Even if they wanted 1,000 feet, I would argue that 2/3 of the large parking lot was fair game. Moreover, those 2/3 still provide more room for a potential level 2,3,4 than the small parking lot.

No date, time, anything was given for the question except that it happened on 2nd platoon, I think. I would argue that any other stuff about street fairs, whatever was irrelevant. There were several stand-alone questions on the in-basket. No date means no date.

 Did you also pick C for the answer? What was your protest?

Nice. I knew it was right. Remember #5?

Next Lt, I am 100% positive that #5 was the ECB. It was the first question that I thought (incorrectly) that I was stumped on and made a notation.

I was at the protest today, #5 was in fact the ECB with the calendar question, after looking at it again, I think its a good one, cannot be protested. But #4 was mobilization point with a map, I also picked C and still after an hour just on that question today at the protest could change my mind to seeing their answer D as the best answer?

I protested it, but it was my last one and I admit my effort was half assed at best bc in baskets often incorporate several procedures within one question without telling you where to look. I didn't have the first clue to how many different sections to cite on that one (chemical spillage in 212 distance measurements, upwind requirements in some other sections, 213 5 minute rule to get to a location, 213 using a site that can accommodate a level 3 or 4), so I went with choice C is closer and meets proper distance requirements when each city block is 750 feet. I could have spent the whole protest looking up all sorts of different sections to prove my point. What I really wish is one of the exam writers was there to ask them, why is D better than C? Did I miss something in the packet?

Also the question was 2nd platoon, you know this based on the name of the Sgt in the question. There was no telephone record entry of a college fair street shutdown, but a CO memo dated on October 27th and the in basket took place on Nov 2nd. The street fair/shutdown was from 0700-1900, but that didn't effect choice C or D. So neither could be eliminated based on that memo. I needed an exam writer to explain what I missed to why D is better than C, but none had the courage to show their faces.

Of course if one of the exam writers was there, I would have control myself not to spit in his/her face first! Then after the spit dripped off their face, collect myself and calmly ask two things: What were you thinking? And why is D better than C in question 4?

but would they tell you what their reasoning was? or just tell you whether you got the question dropped or not.


I hope you're right. But if that was their reasoning, then LOL
