NYPD List #

[BarXone]

Just something I was thinking about.

My list number from an old test I took bout 4 years ago (4022) is still the same now than it was then. Is that possible? I figure a lot of applicants would've gone through the process and/or dropped out by now.

In other words, the list # on my first results I received in the mail years ago is the same number I am writing on my APD forms and was told it was on the medical.

How would that be possible?

They probably don't adjust the number. Meaning if your number is 200 and 198 people infront of you already got hired, you will still be 200 but once they will start calling, number 199 and 200 will be the two numbers they would call first.

Im just guessing though.

That's what I was thinking. Your number wouldn't change but your position on the list does. Anyone else know anything about that?

Thanks :)

Your list number stays exactly the same. The only reason some peoples were changing was because they were on walkins and they didn't have a new exam number everyday, but people did take them everyday. So the more people take it will affect the list number.

Like if i took it today and my final score was an 80 and you took it in month later and got a 90, assuming that they were the same exam, you would get a lower list number than me and it would bump mine up a little higher.

But the old tests they wouldn't establish a list until all the tests were done and graded. And once they established a list they wouldn't have another one until there was a new test.

This is wrong, walk in exam numbers are not established until the test is over and closed, only then they are announced so numbers dont' change because of that. My number changed when they factored in residency credit. When i got my list number i was 2xx, 4 months later i got a letter in the mail saying they added residency credit and im number 7x. Otherwise they don't change.

So what about the official tests? Was that part correct?

Thanks for the responses.. had no idea how this operates

If they were going to wait until that whole tst was over to establish a list then why wouldn't they also add residency. It is kind of the same thing as I said. I took my test back in 06 and my list number has stayed the same since...
