Two Tests on the Same Day

[Ppk487]

Hey guys, although I'm done with the process with NYPD and waiting for a call (hopefully), I figured I'd sign up for NYC DOC as well as Rochesters exam. What I didnt realize was, after signing up for both a few months apart, is they are the SAME day.

What can I do about it? Can I cancel one test?

nope cant cancel....

jk yea u would imagine to can just reschedule one. No matter what you do, don't not show up, just call one and ask to reschedule.

I really dont know how the process works but I know theres such a thing called cross filing I've seen other members on the forum refrence it. I found this link check it out and see if it applies to you.

What do I do in order to participate in examinations which are being held on the same date for two different civil service agencies?
You are referring to something known as cross-filing. In order to cross-file, you would need to contact both civil service agencies to which you applied and let each agency know where you intend on taking both examinations and, additionally, which examinations you have signed up for. The civil service agencies will make the arrangements with our office to ensure that all your exam material will be at the selected site.However, if one of the examinations you signed up for is a State examination, then you will have no option to take the exam at the local civil service agency test site. You must cross-file at the State site in this instance.

If the test site for NYC DOC is local to you, you should be able to take the NYC DOC exam there and have the Rochester exam administered at the same location. You typically get more than enough time to take two exams at the same test site. It should be as simple as completing a couple crossfiler forms.

Make the phone calls and ask.
