Exam Information Update. Remember facts here are always subject to change,
AGAIN.
Date- testing to begin late February/early March 2012. Actual Testing
is expected to run for a 5 week period.
An on-line Tutorial is expected
to begin 1/11/12. FDNY will have Information and Tutorial Nights scheduled to
begin the week of 2/6/12. These will be a one-time, one day only for each
applicant to attend an in-person event at one of approximately 35 locations.
There will be various dates.
FDNY headquarters has confirmed
that DCAS states applicants will be allowed to re-schedule their assigned test
date one time.
If you must re-schedule try to reschedule for an early test
date. If you try to reschedule there is no guarantee on when or where you will
be sent to take the test. It will be by availability. If you were scheduled to
show up and are a no-show, however, you will not be allowed to
re-schedule.
To prevent the possibility of cheating and disadvantage to
earlier test takers there are expected to be multiple forms of the exam and a
randomization of questions as is done on all NYPD exams.
All applicants
should be receiving email blasts from FDNY Recruitment Unit on a regualr
bi-weekly basis with this information and updates. Admission notices should be
received from DCAS by 1/27/12.
FDNY Firefighters and Fire Officers will be needed
to staff these events and be trained on an overtime basis.
I recommend all
members make themselves available. If you are interested send an e-mail
