I never posted here before but I have been reading this forum since day one like a EDP. Just like everyone else this is torture for me. I am sitting on a 66 and want this to come to an end already. Does anyone know if the questions that were mentioned in prior posts are still possible??
1, 78, 86, 106 & 115 as throwouts
7, 10, 45 & 54 as double/triples
Again, I have zero intel.. this is just from prior posts. I was hoping some one may have any thing to possibly confirm or deny this. Ondeair?
Don't remember the question just a couple of people who protested it as a throwout. If not a throwout and it's a change what you think would be the double/triple ?
How is 106 not a throwout... The correct answer as per dcas was after the cutoff date clearly
Agreed, I got 106 correct because I got lucky, but if 106 isn't a throwout then nothing was a throwout. That was hands down, 100% wrong according to the cutoff date.
I don't think anything is written in stone with dcas. The ops orders and ccrg were not on the noe but they look like their sticking.
In the end what is our recourse if we feel wronged or cheated by dcas? Lawsuit, media attention, crying? Nothing will change what they decide to do.
Back to where we were half a year ago...
Btw, anyone who's familiar with this testing process, can Dcas summon the original test writers and have them explain protested questions?
Amen! 19 changes submitted...I think 5 to 19 changes are in play..I expect to see 5
I agree with sgt2be, the majority coming out the inbasket and at least two on the rest of the test.

Put it this way, if there are people with political connections that scored 60 or better and an entity is pushing a certain person or persons which happens all the time in civil service then we're looking at signifcant amount of changes. If none of that is going on, most are taking this test again in early 2017.
The Choas theory or butterly effect is what all of us are experiencing. Small causes having large effects. Captain Pony tail has altered the lives of many sergeants who should have passed under fair conditions and now it boils down to pure luck for many.

I agree with Cathetel in the statement of a test in early 2017. Since the new norm will be longer study times...I wouldn't be surprised they announced a new test by April or May of this year!!
I dont..I have heard from 2 good sources that number 1 is throwout....I also heard 7 was being talked about as possible throwout....those are the only 2 I heard...106 I was told no throwout based on it was most correct

Did you protest these 2 questions ? If so doubles or to ?
I did not protest these....I don't think 106 will be changed...I do think 1 will be throwout...those are the ones I'm pretty confident about. Again this process is so secret it's hard to ever be sure of anything
Yes it was the most correct answer...even though it was not all correct
Why was it more correct than making contact with the isolated threat, or whatever the wording was? I sat there for 10 minutes trying to decide between them.
6th month....I'd have to look at it again...I believe if I remember correct the other choices wrre all things the wrong actor was supposed to do...meaning if they wrre asking about patrol supervisor then those other choices dealt w first supervisor on scene
Dcas is playing hardball, even with this small list. A lot of us including myself were expecting a throw out bonanza. I'm shaking in my boots with a 69.. 67 and below your toast .
U may be right. But the puzzle of this is that it could go either way. Absolutely could. It's not even wishful thinking it's just the fact that dcas is a mystery in itself. We might see a really small list which yes means another exam coming up. I would guess late 2017 bc they ll have more newly promoted sgts meaning more exam takers. Or, we could have a repeat of 2011. The ones they threw out there weren't dead on convincing to s. U just never know---with this it's anyone's guess. It's very hush hush this guy has dropped log after log on this exam as well----that doesn't help the flow.
I tend to agree with sgt2be at this point. But, we could be cometely wrong on all make this thing. I'm not holding my breath for myself at a 65 at this point.

I agree with your post but the butterfly effect is when an even infinitely small variations creates huge changes to a system. This was not that. This was a fundamental variation. This guy is not a butterfly. He is Mothra!!! I've heard a lot of war stories about Capt V since this started. It doesn't matter if the person was a subordinate, colleague or supervisor, they all say everything this guy touches is a complete **** show. I'm more annoyed at the people on this job who put this idiot in a position to have such a profound, negative affect on so many careers. He shouldnt be a duty capt or shoe fly for the same reason. The extent of this guy's responsibilities shouldn't exceed polishing spent shell casings in an isolated, unheated trailer at Rodman's Neck!
There is absolutely no way 106 is not a throw out. Its not even the most correct. If someone asked you a question on what the colors of the rainbow were and the options said red yellow green and black, when then you absolutely know its an incorrect answer. There is no ifs ands or buts about this question, if its not a throwout then this test is more rigged than a democratic election....

Explain how the guy dropped log after log about the exam... he wrote this piece of garbage exam.. what logs is he dropping?
Dcas is playing hardball, even with this small list. A lot of us including myself were expecting a throw out bonanza. I'm shaking in my boots with a 69.. 67 and below your toast .
So if I read between the lines here, it sounds like 2 or 3 changes.
