No one uses military points for a Capts exam. They all used it for Lts

Why ? Asking as someone who gets the 2.5 points

CappedOut · Senior Member

The scores were added to the DCAS dashboard after they were adjusted. That is your raw score 100%.

It wouldn't make sense to not have a score on the dashboard, only some people get their scores adjusted, and then they add a score for every person.

For captain its one point.

Tommy Salami · Senior Member

As per Leslie if you want one point you gotta be on point I hope you get my point at some point you will all get promoted so theres no point making a big deal out of this

Zeph · Senior Member

Is that it guys? Whatever we see on the dashboard is the final raw score?

LT4LIFE · Veteran Member

No one on this forum can factually answer that. Its a wait and see game at this point. As long as there is no established list then anything is still possible.

2017 def most groundball exam in history. i d say next one end of 25 or beginning of 26.

LT4LIFE · Veteran Member

Which is exactly on par for what I said. The scores posted on the dashboard are not adjusted yet . This person they are speaking of is showing a 68 on DCAS dashboard. Your saying he passed if going to verify military points. If you are correct, this would mean scores on the DCAS dashboard are not adjusted to finalized yet.

8 Captains promoted to DI on Tuesday, means 8 more vacancies for Captains. Does anyone have the updated vacancy numbers?

The guys who failed the test could have easily brought a civil suit, especially those who barely did. There was an argument to be made on the merit that there was an unfair advantage for being subject to different versions of the exam. The city should have offered some type of remedy to level the perceived imbalance. I am just saying.

Lmaoooooooo. Please tell me youre kidding. SMH.

PD2FD · Guru

Yea, no way a lawsuit will go anywhere, especially if 200+ people passed this exam. It was a hard exam, just study harder next time.

AGREE 1000000000% !!!!!!!! There will be an exam soon enough.

brooklynbacon · Guru

If theres 200+ on the list wouldnt this be the second largest list in history? How does that equate to the hardest exam ever given?

Hatherly · Member

Is there any precedent for anybody taking 3 military exams? There's an IAB lt whose taking this test as a makeup and he took sgt and Lt as a makeup. He was not overseas or anything he was doing stateside training. I don't think this is fair.

Unfortunately military is military. Federal law allows him to take a make up even if hes a weekend warrior

HopeBoss · Senior Member

You cant prevent someone from leaving over military orders and in turn they must be allowed to take a makeup exam.

A little over 200 passed the day of the exam. After the makeup exam and throwouts, Id estimate the addition of 30ish names. List will be around 250 names give or take.

BORICUAPLATINUM · Veteran Member

I'll keep you all posted about veterans verification process for my friend with the 68. He is scheduled to go today at 2:30.

LT4LIFE · Veteran Member

Have him get as much info as possible!! If he really did pass and its just not adjusted yet on DCAS thats good news for us people hovering around that 70 mark.

Truthseeker · Guru

Lt4life. If the news you are waiting for us to see a 70 for captain exam it be terrible news for you bc you would have to change your rising star user name :)

LT4LIFE · Veteran Member

Such a travesty I feel I could live with. Thanks for bringing some good humor into this place!

If he scored 68 he wont get military points

1underthebuss · Veteran Member

Hopefully that means a slight curve and a bunch of us on the cusp get the go ahead

Zeph · Senior Member

How many people do you think that scored 68 and 69?

So whats the outcome? He passed right?

BORICUAPLATINUM · Veteran Member

According to the investigator, he passed because they wouldn't be verifying his points. However, his score on the dashboard is still reflecting a 68.

LT4LIFE · Veteran Member

So what else could that mean other than successfully protested questions have not been applied to our scores yet on the dashboard? Obviously DCAS has the fully adjusted scores but have yet to post them.

BORICUAPLATINUM · Veteran Member

I left you a PM

SonsOfXavier1997 · Senior Member

if he is verifying his veteran points at DCAS and he got a 68 then he got two points. No one who is verifying points failed the DCAS investigator told me this when i went scroll back i answered this

LT4LIFE · Veteran Member

Right. Which verifies that DCAS has not posted the final adjusted raw scores on the dashboard yet.

Zeph · Senior Member

Some people had their score adjusted and other people didnt yet. Maybe, they applied a curve. It is all a guessing game now.

Is this an assumption? Anyone know for sure??

Zeph · Senior Member

its an assumption on my part. Thats what I think would currently make sense if they actually notified someone who score 68 to verify military points. I believe someone here confirmed that he passed.

I think an assumption at this point, but they only verify points for military passing grades this is a fact. Remember they applied a curve to exams after the big law suit so not a reach to think they did the same here.

PD2FD · Guru

But wouldn't a curve be applied to everyone's grade? I don't think a curve occurred in this case. Maybe DCAS messed up (shocker) and didn't update his raw score, but I can't see them updating some scores but not others, that would be grounds for a lawsuit.

Maybe they had a curve that applied to everyone. Its just not published yet. Like you said, maybe, DCAS messed up and failed to update that gentlemans score on their site. Im also curious if he took the test on the same day we took it.

BORICUAPLATINUM · Veteran Member

He took the test the same day most of us took it Aug16th. He had the morning session. I thought I read somewhere on here that there was one throw out in the AM session and 2 in the afternoon. If that's the case then there's no possible way he would have picked up 2 points. We will have to wait and see.

It is a very interesting situation. We shall find out soon.

They possibly updated throw out and double answers but did not account for the curve online. Again all speculation no facts, well find out soon

SonsOfXavier1997 · Senior Member

There is no curve. Guys are grasping at straws. Some throw outs but very few they got over 200 for list that will last minimum 3 years.
