Gamblor Answer Key - Updated 4/24/15 @ 1825 hours
Permalink  

The key is available for download from http://www.ottrack.com/downloads/AnswerKey-2015-Lt.xlsx

There are NOW 124 keys sourced to make this currently.

I removed the "Best Possible" and "Worst Possible" fields as they don't really happen and it leaves a lot of ambiguity.  If you have never used this before, download the file and plug in your answers on the left.  It will display what your estimated score is on the lower right, as well as provide a breakdown on the questions by assigning a confidence level.  This is generated by looking at the disparity between people's answers.  High confidence means that most people chose a particular answer so that is likely the correct one.  Medium is a middle ground, and low means that it can be very close.  Possible doubles are when two or more answers are neck and neck.

 

Historically, this key will be about 90-95% accurate to the real one, and your score will be accurate +/- about 3 or 4 points.

 

--------Original message-------

I'm sorry to hear that this test is much like those of the past.  Hopefully, those of you that studied will still make it.

 

Someone had started collecting keys earlier today, but the post has been deleted for whatever reason.  I'm not sure if he is still doing it (if so, I guess you can ignore this), but I'm happy to do the key for you guys.  If you would like to submit your answer key (the more, the better), then send them to support@ottrack.com or PM me here.  I'll gather them there and make the sheet.  I'll post a download link for it as soon as I have enough keys to make something reasonable.  You can continue to submit keys and I'll add them to the sheet to make it more accurate.  Depending on how quickly I get them, I may get something out tonight, but if not, I'll make it happen tomorrow morning.

 

Summary: Send answer keys to support@ottrack.com or PM me here.  I'll make the sheet and post later.

I was skeptical of this on a previous test. Turned out to be spot on. Everyone send the keys in!

Getting something out tonight would be awesome.  My nerves are at an all time high!

Edit: Gamblor's key projected me at a 74, my actual score from DCAS is a 72.  Thank you for helping us out Gamblor!

 Awesome!! We appreciate your help.  I'm curious to see how accurate it will be, considering everyone thinks they did bad.

I'm still going through them. Apparently, a ton of you were getting boxed at 3 in the morning as I have a lot that I received over the midnight. I'm at about 30 right now and still plugging in more that I have.

At some point there has to be a cut off to sending Gamblor answer keys. Otherwise we will be waiting all day for an answer key.

Let the poor guy enjoy his Sunday morning! DrPapi1983 sat at his computer all night waiting for Gamblor's key (maybe me too). In the mean time Gamblor was sleeping like a baby...

With the extra questions how can you really go by the answer key he is going to generate? if u get say 15 wrong then you have to plus minus an additional 20 possible? That's a huge range

You obviously haven't seen Gamblor's key before.  He is honestly quite good.  He has some formulas to take this into account, and the excel sheet gives you a range of where you most likely scored.

It's a statistical average. Mathmatically if the research questions were no harder or easier on average then the rest of the questions on average, you'r percentage of getting them wrong should stay roughly the same. Now could the analysis be off? Yes, but it shouldn't be that large of a swing, assuming the research questions were equally difficult as the rest of the exam. At the very least (I like to call this a statistical key) will give you a good idea of what area you scored.

The research questions were mostly from the 2011 test. If you took that exam or did the Key rewrite you probably spotted them out. I'm sure there were others, too.

...granted, they could have included the same questions and not made them research, so who the hell knows.

 The last captains exam used questions from previous exams and they were not research.  I had taken the Key re-write of the previous Captains tests and recognized a bunch this time around.  They ended up counting, which was good for me, I suppose.

According to this i scored a 73.

Gamblor, obviously you have no way of knowing for sure, but how accurate do you think this is?  There seems to be a lot of low/moderate confidence ratings.

 Wow, I sure hope so. Thanks for the insight. Also, thanks for putting this together.
