2017 Civil Service ALL POSTS !!!!!

My understanding is as long as your age is 32 or under when you take the test you should be good to go.

I could also be wrong. which I usually am.

I took the MBTA for the last time because they have no upper age limit.
I will most likely be a CO till I die.

Peace

 

Hearing through the grapevine the "current" (2015) list expires end of August

 

I thought it already did.

 

Technically it hasn't! - Yet

 

Still waiting on those scores.
90 days my ass.

Well I was in the last Boston class and didn't get a card again I assumed it was because they weren't taking from the 2015 list. Maybe it's because I left only to find out later it was for medical reasons?

 

They made an announcement on March 31 that scores are expected late summer.... Aka September

 

Good evening folks. I recently took the CS exam in June, had a great time. As we all wait for the scores to be released, I had a question I cant seem to find the answer too. I marked down my residency for my town, but was curious as to if other towns would reach out to me when the scores are released. I know some towns have residency requirements, which immediately DQ's me, but I am not sure how other CS towns work. Thanks for the help.

 

Based on my own knowledge and what I believe I know - and anyone else feel free to jump in and correct me.
With this 'new' CS test (ie we no longer put our top 3-5 departments) if a town exhausts their residency lists THEN they request & pull from a statewide list.

So in theory, it is possible you will be called by other departments

 

You might have been in the academy when they requested a certification for the next class, which might explain why your name wasn't on it. Because they are running the September class off of the 2015 test.

 

It used to be that way but I believe they just changed it to where you do put your name on as many other lists as you want. I recently just chose a few towns and the mbta list on my MaCS account and they added my name to all the lists I chose within a few days.

 

Just a heads up, you don't choose what list's (other than your residency preference) you want your name to be on until the scores get released. If you add your name to other lists right now, youll have to update that when the new scores come out.

 

Just a heads up everyone, score release date has been updated from "late summer" to "August, 2017.

 

New to the site, all.
I emailed civil service today they advised early to mid august.

 

Has anyone received vacancy e-mails? Any idea when they'll release the 2017 list? And if I happen to get one of the slots, when will the academy start?

Thanks

 

Yes.
Early to mid august.
Depends on what department.
Your putting the cart way before the horse.

 

Got a score back today. Veterans status, "Failed" with a 3.42% grade? Lmao. This can't be real life.

Weird seeing as not another soul has received theirs.

 

Test results = FAIL. Wasted veteran status

I wonder if It's my personality (or lack of) or if I just had the police portion questions wrong.
If only they gave us insight.

Anyone know if NH allows mass folks to take the exam? It's in September for Manchester I believe.

 

Test result = Failed.
Did anyone else send in for a recount of scores? I have a few people i know that also scored very low. just curious if anyone else has any insight on this.

 

Interesting that you received your results. Perhaps it's an error? It doesn't seem anyone else did and the eligibility list isn't available online.

 

I haven't received anything form the Civil Service folks via e-mail.
Is that a good thing? When are the results getting posted online?

 

Do the release the failed scores first?
I tested and heard nothing as far as score.

 

Rounded score of 77 - 4th time is a charm! Does this qualify me for Chief?

 

Don’t feel bad lol I got lower. 2.70% I just submitted my request for review. Something has to be wrong.

 

Does anyone have any idea how this damn test was scored? This was my first time taking it in about 15 years, and the Work Styles/Psychological stuff seems pretty subjective.

I just found out that I scored an 84 (so I passed at least), plus they gave me 2 additional experience points (also weird, I've been a cop for 15, with 9.5 of those from a municipality), so I'm sitting at 86.

the other two times I took the test (the old style test), I got a 99 both times (not high enough to get hired, but whatever)....

Where can I find answers to these burning questions? Is 86 too low on this new test??
