52 source keys total so far, up from 31.  Same download link.

 

I will be doing the same answer key generation service that I have been doing for the last few exams.  If you are new to this, this is how it works:

You can send me, via PM or email (support@ottrack.com), your answer key.  Typing it out is easiest for me (e.g., 1. A, 2. B, etc.), but if you don't have time for that or are working from a phone or whatever, you can take a picture of your key and send it as an email attachment.  Either way, I will add the key to the spreadsheet and use it to build a master key.  It's always fairly accurate (over 90% every time).  Once I have at least 20 keys or so, I will edit this post and add a download link so everyone can plug in their answers on their own and see how they likely did.

 

The spreadsheet file itself works as follows:

Once you open it, clear out any answers under the heading "My Answers" and enter your own.  The spreadsheet breaks down the test as follows:

1) It assigns a "Confidence Level" to each question.  High means that a vast majority of people selected that answer.  Moderate means that it is close but the top answer is still decently above the others.  Low means that it is still a potential double answer, or too close to call.

2) Your correct and wrong answers are broken down by these confidence levels, so you can easily see how you did on the questions that are most likely accurate and the others that are less so.

3) Potential double answers are also counted and how many where you have at least one.

4) Wrong answers are colored red on the left.  Doubles where you have the other one is colored orange.

 

 DOWNLOAD HERE: http://www.ottrack.com/downloads/CaptAnswerKey.xlsx

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  I don't know if I'll get enough keys tonight from people to post anything usable, but I will definitely have something up by tomorrow.  Good luck to all.

Six months of studying.  Ignoring the wife for six months.  All for nothing.  Sucks.

I feel the same way. I studied, not as hard as I would have liked, but I did put the effort in. It was certainly a fair test, but definitely very hard. If I passed at all, it's going to be real close.

I got a most likely score of 71 (think I missed 28).  How accurate are these?  is there usually a big change?

NYPD Captains exam : 100 questions in 6 hours. Can anyone explain to me how dcas thought it was appropriate to tell police officer that The time limit of six hours was considered appropriate based on experience with prior Sergeant and other uniformed services exams, when in the last 25 years of about 25 promotional exams with the nypd, all being 100 questions and 6 hours they give us an exam where we basically have a test that is 1/3 longer or another way of looking at it is we had 1/3 less time to complete the exam based on the number of questions. Then just 1 week after sending us that bullsh**t email they go and give the Lieutenants an exam where they have 6 hours to do 100 questions. Any reasonable person or judge would find what DCAS did as completely unfair.

 well dcas did advise you about it. Yes not the amount of questions but non the less they did cover themselves. Judge will not find anything other than the canidates were properly informed about changes.  There is no rule say there must be 6 hours for 100 7 for 130. Listen I am in agreementi personally thinknit wad wrong but nothing can be done. The last lt exam was unfair and nothing happened with that.. sorry it sucks man we have all been there !

Jar- the truth is that the Police Dept has a very long and unpredictable history of unfair exams; some were excessively long, some had interviews, open book portions,  videos and even separate Lists for whites and non-whites.  If you simply accept this and study hard most times it works out.  Good luck.

Spreadsheet has been updated to include some more keys, clean out some that were a little off, and change a few calcs. I don't know if your score will change much as mine didn't really. It has the same download link, found in the first post of this thread.

According to the most recent update says I have a possible 75, with 13 correct answers being "low" so who really knows what to expect. I don't feel too confident. I really think I am right around 68-72ish, just like I felt after that last LT test.

I'm in the same boat, it says I'm looking at 75 with 11 low answers. It absolutely sucks

So without counting low and moderate you're looking at 68 you will be fine. You'll pick up enough points.

There's still a lot of uncertainty over many questions. Don't hang you're head low. I'm barely passing now but when official key comes out I won't be surprised when i don't make it.

I did the same thing as Gamblor the night of the exam, but only with 9 keys. A lot of different results than what we have so far. I'll send the keys to Gamblor tonight when I get home.

It might not be a bad idea to have keys exclusively from legit studiers with a high level of confidence if available

 You are absolutely right. We should, but it is all part of the post test stressing out package that we have done previously.
