Why is NYPD and DCAS allowing this systemic type of Bias?

I can advise you that, with respect to Exam No. 1533, Promotion to Sergeant (Police) (2011), the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on the original test date was 20%, and the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on an alternate test date was 39%.
 
With respect to Exam No. 3539, Promotion to Sergeant (Police) (2013), the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on the original test date was 14%, and the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on an alternate test date was 20%.
 
With respect to Exam No. 1534, Promotion to Lieutenant (Police) (2011), the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on the original test date was 29%, and the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on an alternate test date was 65%.
 
With respect to Exam No. 5535, Promotion to Lieutenant (Police) (2015), the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on the original test date was 8%, and the passing rate for candidates taking the exam on an alternate test date was 54%.

That looks like an accurate account of the numbers. Incredible! And DCAS/NYPD still insists on doing business as usual! What a disgrace!

these numbers do not add up..... if 191 passed on test day and 43 passed on makeups, that is well over 204...unless they finally realized their mistake and threw out a question or two....
