Who do you give the E Day to? Question # 10 one of the choices included the officer that you would send to the hospital to guard the prisoner in question #13 and it turned out to be the correct choice for question 10. But he is also the correct choice in question 13

Guys, I did not pass this test but I got every in-basket question right except # 15 which I think was the vouchers. You guys over thought it. The car with the broken MDT goes to crv (MDT Broken as per telephone message). The cops and SGT that go to the party Each group of 1 sgt and 5 or 6 cops had at least 1 person on limited or modified except the right answer. The pct map questions, one answer took you right through a street closing(as per the packet) the other two answers had you going way out of the way. There was only one clear cut fastest way to get to the scene. As per the mobilization map question, the tanker truck crashed and something was leaking out. The wind was blowing northward. the only 2 upwind mobilization points one was way to close. Each map block was 750 feet you had to be at least 1000 feet away. There was only one answer. I think you need to focus your protests on the bad voucher questions and the poorly written questions. The in-basket was easy.

Voucher question was the most clear cut question on the test
Wow Twice Lucky you only got one wrong , for real ? That's pretty awesome. Did you study at all to be upset about not passing? InBaskets have always been my weakness and this was no different.

I have to be honest, this test really threw me for a loop. I don't feel like I studied enough but I also feel like it wouldn't have mattered if I studied for 9 months. It was just weird. Once I saw three roll calls though I just read through the packet and went right into the question. I figured that I would figure it out as I went. That part worked out for me lol the rest of the test didn't.
Hmm so an inbasket that you just did as you went along; And to think I spent 1 hour looking under my desk hoping to find the rest of what I thought was an incomplete inbasket lol.
I heard that they did forget to include one page that usually describes what you're doing on that day. will that be enough to have in-basket thrown out? probably not. It did take a lot of time away from me searching for info that was missing.
The In-basket information sheet wasn't accidentally left out. You didn't need it to answer each individual question. Stand alone it was self-explanatory.
In your opinion. But show me an in-basket with 3 roll calls, and no change sheet on not one of the roll calls. No test has ever done this. Why now? I know I never practiced this type of in-basket while attending anyone of the classes.

As far as being numbered they were numbered correctly but they definitely had a page missing describing you're duties. it might not have had direct impact on the questions asked it still had indirect effect on people looking for information. There should be consequences.
I agree, question 10 gave the E-day to williamson. Then in 13 he is the only option to do the prisoner transport. I changed my answer from B which is the DCAs answer to A which is wrong. That has to be thrown out.
The roll call was screwed up in general. I was trying to figure out the house party detail people - people who were supposed to be working were nowhere to be found on the front or back of roll call. Names were mis-spelled, and they used some names twice (if you're gonna do that include some bogus tax#'s so we can differentiate!) Geez.
The cover page of the in-basket packet told you exactly how many pages there were in the packet. It was our responsibility to count and make sure we had all the pages and to notify the proctor if we were missing a page.
No, you don't understand all the material was given, the page that describes you're duties wasn't included. Not just in my packet but everyone's. That page was omitted.
does anyone remember what question #1 was. was that the rmp to crv?
#1 was definitely the ECB question. I got 2 questions wrong on the in-basket and that was one of them. I remember laughing at myself after reading question #1, and thinking that this test was going to be a long one for me.

No it wasnt
I'm pretty sure it was. I did the in-basket first and that was the first question. I was wondering W.T.F. that had to do with the in-basket! What do you remember #1 being?
Are some of you guys who are defending this inbasket smoking? Why do you guys think we did not need a change sheet, they had us set up three different roll calls, I think we needed a change sheet. And why is it ok to have us set up three different roll calls in the same amount of time (6hrs) that every other test has without extended the time. Three roll calls are time consuming and it should have not been allowed unless they extended the time. After setting up three roll calls and going thru all 17 questions without knowing which roll call I had to use, took up a lot of time, I heard a lot of people couldn't finished because of this crazy inbasket. And as for "staystrong" ((no offense lieu)) I definitely believe you are one of the lieut who help write this test. If you would have been given this same test when you took the lieut test, Im sure you would have been just as upset. So please stop with the shenanigans. We are writing for a purpose to get questions thrown out nothing else....smh
another one that was an error on there part and should definitely be thrown out was the ecb summons in the inbasket! I dont know how many people remembered this but a few did, the calendar provided by dcas had an error on it. I think it was a typo but so what, they used nov 8th twice and skipped 9th and if i remember correctly there were no holidays listed on the calendar and there are a couple in november. I believe ecb return dates your not to include holidays and weekends in counting. I could be wrong but just for the fact that they had a typo on the calendar it should be tossed for screwing with our heads cause it did with mine.
