Congrats, remember the academy is going to be hard so just don't give up remember what's in it for you at the end, but enjoy your 6months of torture and pain , I hope this time next year I'll be going into the academy too.

SDT or any other NYS Troopers out there....any ideas on when the earliest academy will be offered to those who are first processed from the 2008 test? If you were the perfect candidate, got a 100 on the test, passed everything, etc., around when could you expect the academy to start?

I was in the academy around a year after I took the test. I was 300 or so on the list...

can it possible that you can be in the academy the same year that you took and passed your test and everything?

Wow, that is awhile, I thought they might start a class in the summer or fall. You must've kicked serious @$$ on that test.

A winter class, should we have one, will likely come off of the old list.

Next summer will probably be the first class for the new list.

so the test is Jan-Feb, do you mean next summer as summer of 2008 or next summer after the test meaning summer of 2009???

I think the Jan-Feb 2008 test will establish a list used to hire people during summer of 2008.

yayy that's what I'm hoping for, because getting a job offer with NYSP will be a great 21st bday(Jan 31st) present and a great graduation present from college(may,16,2008 finally get my BA) :-), that means I better kick *** on that test and get in the high 90's.

NICE! Summer of '08 would be outstanding!

Do the two academies per year generally begin in the same months every year, or can they vary quite a bit depending on when division wants to start them?

Thanks!

It's not so much Division of State Police, but there is a bugetary process that has to be cleared. A lot of the decision is driven by the budget.

That said, traditionally March and October are the most common months to start academies.
