I bet Gamblor has a good idea what the new list size might be. He's the stats guy. Anyway, the original # of passers represents the top 7%+- of test takers, which is all the way on the right of the curve. The lower the score is the closer you get to the mean/hump and the more people there are. Whoever did the answer key should have an idea of what the mean score will be with the throw outs. If it's a 65/66, then this new list could be in the 1,000+- range.
Based on 111 responses the largest response group were people in the 60-64 range. It appears that the 65-69 group is just as large as the 70 and above group. So my guess is the list will be approx. double the current one.
I be surprised if it's under 350... It seems like most people that failed are picking up 3 to 5 points. Those were basically the hardest questions on the test. That's why I wouldn't be shocked if more than 375 people even end up on the list. Just my opinion.
Isn't it nice to be able to talk about the possible list size without Ondeeair jumping in and saying "I don't know why you guys aren't listening, I told you all that the list was 357. Confirmed. Fact. "
Bratton must of thought they were going to roll over and take it like the rest of us, after the federal judge threw out their case. He underestimated the Resilient 9 as we all did. Hopefully this list and promotions goes by fast.
the rumor is 60 Lt's going in on 7/25 and a Sgts BMOC starting on 8/1. Lets keep in mind if they are gonna make Lt's they AT LEAST should be replacing the Sgts that are making Lt. If we're gonna speculate further i would think there will be more Lt's getting made at the end of August when the Sgts from the 8/1 class get promoted. The job is now over 150 Lts short so they need to make at least 100 of them quick to avoid paying current Lts the OT that some are making doing the job of 2-3 Lts.
