What a disgrace of an exam. Starts late, told I can't use high lighters, booklets not handed out on time, double questions, typos, 30 extra questions when DCAS email said 15. I wasted a lot of time, money and effort to be a damn lab rat. How do you even begin to grade this exam? and no proposed answer keys on the site? Wtf, every other test does.

Sorry to hear that your exam started late too. I don't get it. When the guys in the class were getting upset myself included the instructer was smiling like it was no big deal.

"The multiple-choice test will contain additional questions which will be used for research purposes only. These questions will not count toward your test score and will not be included in the protest review process. However, you should answer all questions in the test booklet."

Nowhere does it say 15.

The clock is my room was backwards... Like the 3 was where the 9 should have been and it ticked backwards...

And and how many people had "sergeant" spelled wrong on the board? This whole day was a major fail.

HipChick · Member

anyone else do the in basket first?

Wingnut · Senior Member

Yes I did. Took about two hours. A little more.

MaverickCX · Member

Always, it's the only part of the test you get points just for doing it right with little practical knowledge.

I suggest that, like mike Yanosik from the elite said, everyone should attend that protest session and see what you got. but also let them know how you felt about this test (the time frame given for an extra 30 questions) and focus on the duplicate question and any other test based questions that you guys can think of where you were on the fence with the answer. I have a few in my mind that should be thrown out as being too borderline with the answer choice they gave. If anyone can think of questions for us to formulate, PM me so we can go to Dcas with a list of unfair questions and hopefully get them thrown out. These promotional class teachers, from fast track to elite to rising star and the key, would have protested the questions they thought were too tricky or too misleading but since they were unable to take the test, the cannot be our voice. Mike Yanosik said everyone should try to attend, it's for our own benefit and the future of our careers

APPEAL THE 30 Randomly mixed in "Survey Questions" -- letter to DCAS COMMISSIONER - Takes Less than 5 minutes.... Pass this link on to everyone you know who took the exam and actually cares about passing

i just personally wrote to DCAS on that website in the message posted above by carman728 and I encourage everyone to voice your opinion since not all of you will attend the protest review session like myself:

To Whom it May Concern,
The 2013 NYPD sgt test#3539 was an unfair collaboration and abomination of a city promotional exam with 30 extra survey questions and the failure to allot extra time for those said questions. Our career is being tossed around like we are guinea pigs in a horrible lab experiment gone awry. Many of us studied for months, put our personal lives on hold, and paid in excess of a thousand dollars for promotional tutoring classes when we originally signed up for a 100 question test, which places a vast majority of us in a precarious situation of failing since many test takers did not even finish the entire exam unrighteously due in part to lack of time. As of now, there are too many variables factored in and the majority of the test takers expect an answer regarding these so-called survey questions. Will we be provided with their identity and purpose at the protest review and receive a breakdown of how they affect our test scores? We are entitled to an explanation of this unjust practice!
