I heard an 83 and 86 in my command

74 on here lol,....what was your score?

DETSGT · Guru

78 is the highest I heard from a friend.

DETSGT · Guru

In my command about 20 guys took the test and the highest in command is a 71. Tough test

Su Madre 24 · Guru

In person, a guy at my command is at 76.

Sgt2be said 1 guy was at 82

Cat...86 at your command? Awesome. Hopefully that's one of the keys Gamblor has

I would bet 1k that the "86", IF true is IAB or 1PP.... Those too have an unfair advantage over the average/patrol test takers! Pisses me off!

I'm at 80 on Gamblor's Key and still not confident I passed. That's the highest of anyone I know personally. A sergeant at my command says a friend of her friend got an 85.

Even if I studied twice as hard, which would have been almost physically impossible, I probably would have only picked up about four or five more points because I would never think to study the ridiculous crap asked.

There might be more people that passed than we think

New2this · Senior Member

Only 1 in my cmd with a 71.
Heard nothing higher from friends and coworkers except that they failed (according to them)

I bet it's the same command where your friend is. This person probably got an 80, but when it got around everybody added a point. lol. I would have been out of the game if not for Rising Star. That packet with all those Operations Orders was a godsent! If I ever take another test I'm done with the schools now. Rising Star all the way

sgt2be · Guru

Maybe not....if I'm gonna bet on research questions I'm going to say majority if not all ops orders will be! Why? Simple, not on NOE...and secondly...the job/dcas csn easily see now if ppl are studying ops orders to gauge future testing. Makes sense to me

YOu got an 80 and youre not confident?? Stop already. There people with 65's who have hope, you have an 80. SMH

ondeeair2321 · Guru

i have 5 plus 70's and 1 in the 80's according to that key where i am. im in high 60's. i think there are more people that passed then we think. im not holding my breath, i need some luck. cause from what i hear there will be very very very limited throw outs. this guy is totally prepared and has every question backed----trust me. just how i got the info on this redic exam the info on him having these backed is very true.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

I got 3 confirmed in the 70s where I am. Figured we had the most projecting as passing but I clearly was wrong

I agree ondeeair, there's more who prob passed than people realize.

sig226 · Senior Member

None in my cmd. None in another

ondeeair2321 · Guru

yeah im just friggin bewildered that this many were passing. i mean congrats if this holds up--i surely have gone only further down the chain with the updated lists. these guys just must ve read every nook to be in the running. i studied my butt off and am mid-high 60's i actually cant believe it. thought i put in the time and effort. but this many in that grade block had me shocked, then again these guys were going hard since they announced.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Honestly using this spreadsheet as a guide: how many passing you think we got? It's still prob only around 300

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Ondeeair the 3 in my my command and the 6 in yours seems to be an anomaly.

2 guys in my command are awaiting their answer sheets. When they get em I feel they will project with a passing score.

Jabronijoe29 · Veteran Member

My opinion is if your in the mid 60s .. You got a shot... If 70 or higher most likey will make it..i haven't heard many above 70 though lol.. I say list of 500-600

GDASSCLUB · Senior Member

Only one in my command above 70 with 20+ sgt taken the exam.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

Yeah GD...that's what i usually here. I think my command and Ondeeair's is a "fluke"

sig226 · Senior Member

Less people will pass this test than initial numbers of 2011.

ondeeair2321 · Guru

yeah i agree too. we had some really hard studiers in my cmd. other then them i havent heard of people i ve spoken to breaking 70

Su Madre 24 · Guru

We could potentially have 2 more. 2 smart guys who studied hard are awaiting their answer keys from DCAS.

nycop80 · Guru

We will see, people lie like crazy during this time.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

You're totally correct NYCop80.

ondeeair2321 · Guru

very true nyc cop, very true. or are silent.

Do you need to be reminded that these are not your scores. If anything your giving yourself a sense of false hope. All your common score answers prove is that you have been most likely tricked as most others on multiple questions. Especially if you did not read the operations orders and other pertenent info. Lots of people didn't even finish and they just plug in their guessed answers. There are obviously 20 research questions which can be anywhere. You guys sound like 12 yr olds running around with the what did you get questions. The key is good just to see where there were similarities to how people answered. It has nothing to to with what your possible answer may be. There were way too many answers with low to moderate probability. I hope you guys don't act like this in the real world when work working. I too checked my answers and am in the 70s with the key but understand its not near reality. I could have anywhere between a 55 and an 85 for all I know. I do know that i studied harder than most.

Su Madre 24 · Guru

bro, for the 1000th time. It's an indicator of where you stand. NOT A DEFINITE.

Gamblor did it in 2013 for the sgt exam and that exam has 130 questions. Why can't the key be some sort of indicator?

nycop80 · Guru

Even though its an indicator, thats 100% true, people you know will lie about their score because they are embarassed.

This is definitely true. No matter how accurate Gamblor's key is, people will say "I had a 72 on the key but now I have a 58, that key sucked!"

sgt2be that has been my take all along. I hope pays off.
