Throwouts and double answers.


How do these work. To me it seems like I lost a point. Can anyone explain?

If you want to be sure, get a copy of your scantron from DCAS and compare it to the official answer key . If a question you got correct gets thrown out. You do not lose any points. You may have lost a point because you either miscalculated your seniority points, erased on the scantron, or copied down the wrong choice.

I already had a copy of the scantron. Question 14 looks light on the copy and probably didn't get read. Que sera! But folks aren't lying when they say one point is the difference between 100 names on the list.

Just to answer your question; you can NOT lose point. You either stay put or you'd gain if you got lucky, simple as that.

Now before the final answer key comes out, I'd figure this thread would be appropriate to discuss what was/were thrown out or double answer(s).

Since I did not gain any point, it's safe to assume that it's definite NOT the 2nd grammar question (97) or the evaluation question (in basket), which I obviously got wrong. Question 15, if it's indeed was one of the thrown out, might had been the paperworks question.

All i know is that they def. did throw out the map questions or make them double answers.

Speaking of the "FINAL answer key", just checked DCAS, "final answer key" was supposedly in. However when you opened the link up, it still said "proposed" WTF?! It is indeed the same proposed key. Anyone cared to explain/elaborate?

I got both map questions right and am at score I had with proposed key... I'd say they made the map question double answers with no throw outs
