Stiggy is it possible to get a hold their keys? How did you compare to theirs vs the rs?

Key updated. There are now 52 source keys included (stiggity's as well, thanks). Same download link.

A few things I've noticed: Although the number of low confidence questions has dropped, it is still crazy high, meaning that I'm not as sure of the accuracy as I usually am. Those low confidence answers can swing fairly easily, but at this point, I don't think they are going to get any better. I have roughly 10% of all of the available keys from test takers, which is a very good sample size, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. As such, take these numbers with a few extra grains of salt than you usually do.

Overall, if you have at around 60 of the high confidence questions correct, I think you will be in good shape to pass the exam.

Nice job. I lost 2 points , I did gained a couple in high category now. My break down is 63 high 6 moder and 4 low. If I get a 70 it will be a miracle.

Does this program work with Apple products? My iPad isn't letting me input my answers.

 It should.  I guess it depends on what app you are using.  You can remove the protection on it (no password, it's just there to protect the formulas) and see if that helps.

I def know a few that are off. I have a pretty good breakdown are which question numbers. Once we start talking about actual questions we could prob come up with a nice answer key

My latest is possible score of 74.  High confidence correct: 62,  moderate: 8, low: 6.   Got a little better.

i think with a lot of these questions....the majority may not rule. i know a few questions were debating and everyone is making substantial arguments, but some of these questions have some sly tricks. sadly, it seems i missed a few more ground balls than tricks

Potential score 76, although I have 75 actually correct, 61 High, 8 Mod, 6 low. I am still a bit uneasy too because my score can go either way...

The more people I talk too and discuss questions with, the more confused I get, so I decided to quit talking about it all together :)

Here we go again w another ridiculous display of the test writers proving how "smart" they are!!! Everyone send in your protest request this week. The only way these idiots can be brought to hear about it is with double answers and throwouts. Misspellings and improper wordage can get some of these wordy questions tossed. Hopefully. On the outside looking in again, but will be there protesting this non-sense cheapshot bs that these guys who had five months away from work to focus on nothing but coming up w a decent product came up with!! There is a reason no top-of-list guys write these tests, because they are in positions where they can't/won't take six months away from cmd bc they are slated for better things. Instead w get some boob w an ax to grind who thinks its ok to do this.

 Look at the bright side, if they keep giving these ridiculous Captains exam you can take one every year and a half. You're bound to hit one eventually.

My apologies, I prob should've posted most of that on another thread. Anyways, like a few have said--- the minority may be the rule on this test. The link has a few as high probability of being correct answers but for sure they are not what we have listed as correct on the key. Out of the fifty I think 10 people caught the trick on one of them for example. But if you think about it, it makes sense, if the majority was the rule than the passing rate of these tests would be a lot higher than the 10-15% pass rate of the last few promotional exams. Everyone just keep trying to collaborate and come up with good protests. Nobody post questions yet tho please, there are still a few weekend warriors away on their camping trips "serving" our country who desperately needed to be away and should be allowed to take this test at a later date! Yes sarcasm. Not the guy legit in some desert somewhere, but the guy away at fort totten probably could've scheduled drill around a different weekend..... I mean don't we have some secret squirrel unit on our job that can call and verify/reschedule these guys? Obviously I missed a lot in the admin guide but I would guess its somewhere in one of those books! Sorry, off my meds and booze and have been flipping thru both books since test ended trying to figure out what the f happened in the dump of a high school sat. Good luck to all on the border. Hope those in stay in and those out make it in.

Ha. Good point mr met! This was my first ridiculous Capt test. I was lucky enough to get to take the last ridiculous lt test. We will see how this ends up, but pretty sure i'll be listening to yanosik again on sun mornings like a lunatic and saying "there is no way they can give a more ridiculous test than the last one" like Most of us said after both the 07 sgt and 2011 lt tests which both had about 5-10% pass rates.

yeah i know how that feels....i too also got promoted on the 2007 sgt and 2011 lieutenant....they worked out but i had to wait in agonizing pain for a month due to ridiculously poor written exams that were very difficult. Apparently i have to go through this ordeal again as im probably on the fence about passing and i put more time into this test then last two even though i was...or so i thought...fully prepared for the other 2...here's hoping to get lucky a third time...
