A Potential Solution ?

Jibberjab · Senior Member

I'm hoping you are a PO bc I don't see how a supv could even suggest this. The fairness of the exam has nothing to do with the day 1 vs day 2. The test was what the test was. If you studied you passed. If you went day 2 and had answers yes you had an unfair advantage compared to day 1 people but that had nothing to do with how the test was written and the questions on it. This is the same as all the scammers who take the make up and have answers. This has been a problem for a while now, but it's usually been limited to small number who take the make up tests. Maybe dept will wake up now and give 2 versions. But no your idea will never happen.

It happened with the last Sergeants exam in some ways. The last exam was curved using a formula based on the difficulty of the different/makeup exams given. So I wouldnt say it will never happen. Look back at posts from the founders of Rising Star who elaborated on this on these exact forums.

Main issue will be that the honest test takers on day 2 who did not cheat will be screwed, since if they scored the same as a day 1 test taker, the day 1 exam taker will then have additional points added.

Yeah, as unfair as it may be, I'm quite confident that literally nothing is going to happen. While there will definitely be some successfully protested questions, the list will be established as usual and absolutely nothing else changes. All the gossip about the whole test being thrown out, people being collared/fired, 2nd day folks having to take a new exam, curves for only day 1, etc etc, are all complete nonsense and will not happen.

I do however still think we should put up the fight, for the sake of future exams. The fall-out from this exam may end up being a tipping point for the job and DCAS to make some adjustments going forward.

I get the frustration, totally get it. But the 2015 guys had success in fighting and got some changes made. You just never know. Band together and put up a fight.

It's worth a shot.....we all put in so much time and sacrificed time from our families for this.

I think everyone is stuck on the cheating but are ignoring that the exam on day 2 was significantly more straightforward than day 1. People who had no idea about the previous days exam, walked out thinking it wasn't bad at all.

That is why you need the averages of both days, cheating aside.

Could that even happen lol

49-70 would add like 2000 more people to the 2017 list or more

No way they get through that by the end of January...

I dont think test will be thrown out but its not impossible either. Another agency in New York was recently mandated by the New York State Department of Civil Service to throw out their promotional test and re-administer the test. nypost.com/2022/08/07/new-york-harrison-police-promotional-test-to-be-retaken-after-possible-cheating/

I believe, and I could be wrong on this, DCAS has full control over the civil service process and we cant appeal to the state. Every other local jurisdiction can if it violates civil service law with the exception for us. This is why our department doesnt require the universal fitness test given by every other department within the state. Again I could be wrong but thats how it was explained to me years back.

This sounds like whats app breaking news but we will see.

A step towards the solution.

Share thoughts to the agency who is responsible.
Tag whoever you would like to make aware. i.e. The Mayor, City Hall, the Police Commissioner, News Outlets, etc.

Promoting people that don't deserve to be promoted, even with the low standards we have, would be a huge risk for the department. They would rather not promote at all and continue with the rising vacancies.

cdubnypd · Newbie

Has anyone discussed the possibility of having 2 lists?
1 list for the day 1 people and the other for the day 2 people.
If 50 people are to be promoted, take 25 from each list.
This helps the day 1 people so it doesnt take us years to get promoted or end up dying on the list.

You are correct - DCAS oversees and controls all civil service exams and their processes for the City of NY which is separate and apart from the rest of NYS.

tomSGT2022 · Veteran Member

So if DCAS has complete control over the way they investigate and administer their list, why cant they throw out specific questions that showed a massive amount of people on Day 2 got right, vs a small amount of people on Day 1 getting the same question wrong?

So lets say the Bribery arrest supplement question i got wrong, and lets say 95% of people on day 1 got it wrong, but then only 25% of people got it wrong on Day 2, how is that fair?

This whole thing is a joke. Moral of the story is dont cheat but if you do you will get away with it.
