NYPD231 · Senior Member

How are you counting the double answers?

s2h · Veteran Member

i counted as wrong

razor1 · Veteran Member

I have 67 w/ double answer 68............I guess there is hope

Cathetel · Senior Member

I've been playing around with numbers and came up with a decent formula to calculate a potential scoring range.

26 wrong (74)

12 (conservative low number) doubles/potential throwaways

plenty of hope, this sheet may be nowhere near the actual relased answer key, if lower than a sixty, then you are going to need a lot of luck your side

BimpGod · Veteran Member

67. 18 wrong, 13 double answers, 1 was 1/3 and 1 was 1/4 chance. Hopefully I will sneak in. Studied hard.

tensixone · Senior Member

77 counting the doubles as wrong

Bmoc09 · Senior Member

68 counting 14 doubles as correct. I'm screwed.

1534sux · Senior Member

The simple fact is with the amount of time invested NO ONE should be hoping for a 70. You deserve better from this department to administer a fair test.

RICH-PD · Senior Member

74... Not counting any doubles

stiggityone · Guru

78 without the 4 doubles

E D · Senior Member

74 counting 3 doubles as right.
71 counting 3 doubles as wrong.
So ill take a 71, and hopefully pick up a few more on protests.
We shall see....

PatrolGuideismyBible · Guru

Too many potential double answers, I am not even counting on these answer keys anymore. If more of the answers were clean cut, like 24/26 people picked A, I would feel a whole lot better. I could have anywhere from 18-31 wrong? Too much of a range there. All that tells me is that I am close...

oneadditional · Guru

I can't use this key because the aided is question is wrong and 100 is not C and I could imagine what else.

What # is aided question, what letter did you have. I'm assuming you chose A for question 100.

E D · Senior Member

Yeah, don't count on these keys. Not with this test, espescially.
It freaking sucks but just have to wait, 24 days and counting......

18and1 · Senior Member

69 with 3 double answers.

hollar · Guru

which answer key?

btkx15 · Senior Member

68 w/o 3 double answers

PFB · Veteran Member

How do you lose if a question is dropped? I believe the question is still factored in the final score. It shows up on the answer key as:

A/B/C/D as the correct answer. If this is the case you can only gain if you originally had it wrong and you don't lose.

E D · Senior Member

Yes , pfb that is correct. If you had it right you will not gain anything. Same for double answers. There were 2 or 3 double answers on Sgt test and I didn't pick up any points because I had the original right answer.
(Not that I'm complaining). But that's how it works. So if you had D and that was the original answer when the tentative key comes out on the 28th and then they decide it's a screwed up question, they will accept A/b/c/d, you will not pick up an extra point off that.

Doc22 · Veteran Member

got a 68

BXCOPPER33 · Senior Member

75 without double answers

hollar · Guru

its going to be 1 of those exams where seniority, bullsit medals and that bull**** run comes into play for promotion

NeedOutOfNarcotics · Veteran Member

67

E D · Senior Member

I did my run, and JST twice, that's 1 extra point for me, plus some seniority, all I want is my 70, plus hopefully I pick up a few on protests. I think this list is gonna be very small

Master answer key....the original answer key that NYG 37 posted I had a 75.....for my Sgt's exam the key that was made, was off by 15 question. The answer key on the 28th is the only way to tell.

I took the same 2009 sgt test. I remember those key(s) being +- 3.

SGT1701 · Senior Member

78 with double answers counting against me, 80 with double answers counting towards me.

NYPD231 · Senior Member

16 wrong if I got all of the double right, and 26 wrong if I got all the double wrong.

Putting the answer key to the side though, with all of the potential double answers on that "new" master key using 25 keys, there are 13 P.G. questions that I KNOW I got wrong. I would conservatively give myself 2 wrong on the in-basket, and that only leaves me with 15 questions wiggle room with the management/leadership style questions and I'm sure there are some more PG questions that I got wrong along the way. If I pass, it will be by a very small margin.

ImDrained · Senior Member

As per Rising Star answer key, I got 33 wrong, I studied and gave up 8months of my life and I got 33 wrong. Im very upset. Hopefully, I will be better prepared the next time around.

Admiral Cain · Member

I got 50, no matter how I count. No more stress, I know the outcome. Those of you with 65 or better - keep stressing, I'll respond to your 10-54 EDP UMOS involved within the next 4 weeks :)

HB · Senior Member

Let's hope so..thanks for the input

JimmyC · Member

34 wrong. When i took and passed the sgt exam about 6 years ago, I utilized one of these "highly credible composite answer keys". According to it, I got a 72. When i got the official score, it was an 86. WOW, was I surprised. I am kinda hoping for the same thing. I will take half, ie my score here is 66. I need to pick up 4 points, but ideally would love to pick up 7. Hey, my 66 could really be a 56. You never know...............
