[Xochimilcho]

I'm so ready for these results!

[schmidthouse7]

The results are posted fellas.

[FireFarrier]

Well I could have done better, but I am still top ten % so it's all good!

[Brockrocks]

I did the best I could without bonus points. I got a 100 on the test and made stanine 1. How did everyone else do? Did you do well schmidt?

[FireFarrier]

Yeah I guess i misunderstood the Stanine score, still not sure i understand. as defined in the link below a 1 would be bad? Either way, I am still ok with where I sit, it just looks like i was confused about the stanine, lol.

[Brockrocks]

lol. I dont completey understand the stanine score, but I am pretty sure that is going to be the first group that goes on to the next round. well for sure the higher the stanine the better off you should be!

[FireFarrier]

Well either way, cogratulations sir!

[Brockrocks]

Thanks! Hopefully some other guys did well on here too

[Xochimilcho]

100 here as well! no bonus either

[schmidthouse7]

I got the residency bonus so 101 here. Congrats to everyone. Last year 2 classes worth of people went out to 500 I believe.

He means it took 500 people off the list to fill 2 academies.

They are doing y'alls process different from ours. All the stanine from my understanding is that everyone that has a 1 whether you made 106 or 98 y'all are all ranked the same right now, but you will be able to jump people in rank. For instance, if the last guy does better than the first guy on the physical agility test he may be ranked higher than him and that will carry on through out the process.

If they decide to pull the first 200 (all in Stanine 1) and 201-206 are also in Stanine 1, then they have to grab 201-205 too.
Also, they have to completely exhaust Stanine 1 before proceeding to Stanine 2. That means interview and everything.
PAT, background, poly are still pass/fail, IIRC. Before the interview was P/F but now it's scored. Based on the interview scores, you can change positions on the list.

Basically if you're in Stanine 1 you will be processed before the list expires (which is 18 months). That said, start working out - hard! Work on your interview skills. Get your personal history (transcripts, job history, traffic violations) gathered up. Rumor I heard was interviews probably around January 2012.

Considering there are over 60 people in front of me...I am all for that! I can see how that helps ensure they get truly the best of the best. Congrats and Good luck to everyone that is moving on!

Thanks for the stanine explanation. How does that work with Fort Worth being civil service?

I'm not an expert on 143 so I don't know for sure. You can bet Local 440 and city legal made sure we were still compliant though.
