I'm hearing the family is confirmed double answer. If you put the cousin with the bat you get the credit.

 

*edit* the numbers are 3 throwouts and 2 double answers. So anyone 65 and up is still alive. Good luck everyone.

Interested to hear what the other changes were. Please share any other credible info you have. Now the mystery is how long itll take DCAS to readjust the scores and add fitness, senority, and other points to the list.

I highly doubt anyone knows what specific questions were thrown out.

That info isnt released. Usually throwout numbers and double answer numbers do leak after its done being reviewed.

If your gonna make ish up dont post.

Having a 67, still not sure if I'll make it. I'll be hopeful but it will be a miracle if I pick up 3 points.

 Dont give up hope, there are people that got 65's and are Sgts and Lts as we speak. Good luck.

So I am assuming a "double answer" is:  if the correct answer is A, but then after the protest, it is decided that "A" and "B" are both correct, then whoever picked either one would get credit. 

My question is, does a "throwout" means everyone gets credit for that question? (I'm assuming thats what it means, but at this point, it can't hurt to ask) thx.

You had to put down an answer technically. But so long as you did that, you get the point for a throw out question

You actually dont get the point if the answer you chose is the same as what DCAS has on their answer sheets.

If DCAS originally had A as an answer at the protest, and you chose A, but afterwards it eas determined to be a throwout, you arent getting a point. You only get the point if you answered it incorrectly.

 You get the point if you answered it "correctly" and "incorrectly." Difference being it was already credited to you in essence everyone gets the point if they filled in an answer.

 Guy, he was simply stating that if you answered the question correctly to what DCAS had as an answer you are not getting an extra point on top of that. IE for argument sakes you scored a 70 and two questions were thrown out. Both questions had an answer of A according to DCAS. On the test you answered A for both questions. You still have a 70 not a 72
