When the proposed key for the Captain's exam came out 68 people scored 70% or higher. If I remember correctly approximately 450 people took the test. That is a 15% passing rate. With this test, the rumor is that 241 people scored a 70% or higher. Approximately 2500 people took this test. This mean...

there was another classroom as well, so i assume about 20 in there too. They had seating for like 45. It amazes me that 2700 people take an exam and so few show up to protest. I know quite a few people who are 65 or above and didnt attend the protest and probably wont mail anything in either. Where is your pri...

I THINK, BECAUSE OF THE UNFAIRNESS OF THE TEST COMPARE TO PRIOR TESTS, THEY SHOULD CURVE THIS ONE BY ALLOWING THE HIGHEST SCORE TO BE PASSING SCORE.

I protested both of these questions on the basis that those questions don't tell you your role, rank or title. I believe this info is necessary to answer these questions. Hope this argument sticks.

This question was in regards to the capt asking you to complete some reports, possibly traffic stat related (I don't recall exactly). The correct answer, as per DCAS was to stay late and complete the work. If we accept this answer, we are authorizing our own administrative overtime.

Does there have to be a certain number of protests for a particular question or do you only need one. Obviously the more people that protest a question raises questions about that question, but what if DCAS only gets one protest for a question? Do they honor it? Anyone know?
