Thanks for the post ATFDFF. I'm not sure either. I will try and ask where they went.
My source called me over the weekend and said they had someone at their house over the weekend asking what on the job exercises they could put in the physical ability test. My source seemed to think it was for anyone who takes the new test expected to come out in 2014. He seemed to think they couldn't possibly ask us to take this new PAT format with all the other classes on this test using the one we already went through. But who knows. He also said the rumor is still two/three classes depending on the size of the classes are going to be hired from the 2006 test.
Keep our fingers crossed
Does anyone have any idea how many men and women are currently waiting in processing right now?
I dn't see how they could make us take a different PAT than the rest of the 2006 condidates took.Quote:

And to rambler, including all parts of the process, from interest card return to waiting on final processing, I'd say there is about 300-350. I could be way off, but I know there are at least 100-125 waiting on FP and another 100 or so that already too the PAT.
I do know that out of the original January 2010 PAT the city did not get the numbers they needed for another class so they had another 200 or so take the PAT in April. So i am guessing the same as ROCKGOD. About 300-350 in total. I know a few guys in FP have already moved on or hit 38 so they are no longer eligible. So maybe that number is a little smaller now.Quote:

Hopefully we hear something soon. I would assume they are going to end interest letters before they hire in order to guage how many classes they can fill. My guess probably 2 at the most.
Has anyone else used the email to update information for there file? I just did mine today for a new phone number.. wondering how long it took to hear back
Email? Which email? Was it to the general HR email? I need to update some things as well.
I called today because my uncle told me to make sure everything was up to date as far as phone and address. The lady on the phone told me to update since I was not in Chicago to send an email to.
Fire-application@cityofchicago.org
Said try not to use ssn to verify who you are I put my address name and that I was part of the 2006 exam on the email. but put old information then new information since it was just a phone number I put the old one then under it I put new number then the number.
Hope that helps
I also left at the bottom to please reply to let me know the changes have been made so if I don't hear back by Tuesday I'm going to have to call again.
Thanks for that info. I wonder if you can get your list number again? Instead of going down there in person.
What numbers are you guys?
Anyone know what number their on?
I am #2954 and I have not received an interest card so I have no clue where they are at, Id be interest to know tho
If you haven't yet recieved an interest card...might as well wait and take the new test, when ever that might be. It is VERY unllikely you'll be getting on from this test
**** I'm 3500 something
I heard from a captain that they are doing 3 testes in rapid succession. If they are as big as he says they are a lot of people are gonna get in.
I remember the days when i actually thought i was going to get on. The rest is laughable.
My # is in the mid 1900's and i took the Jan '10 PAT but im about one of the highest #'s Ive seen on this thread that took the PAT. i think its in the 1500-2000 ballpark for the PAT's
Also does anyone have the # i would call to speak to someone in HR to make sure my address has been updated correctly ? i moved about a year ago & went down there, filled out all the necessary paperwork but have heard some horror stories of that not being updated correctly. Thanks
312 745 3705 you can start there that's what I do when I need to get a hold of someone.
Just passing along what i heard from a buddy that's currently on (and has been for 10+ years) that 2 academies have been approved and passed budgeting for this year.
Word is the LT calss started today
Anyone got an idea if they are doing a new test soon? My wife is from there and we're looking to return to the area. I read a news article that said they wanted to do one this year sometime. Just wondering if anyone had any info about it I'm a fireman in New Orleans and kinda out of the loop. Thanks
Does anyone know when the next test is going to be?
