I'll tell you what, nothing like a giant 1000 person test score list to remind you how stupid 90% of the people who take these tests are.

I got a 75 hell yea

Its my second time taking the test and the first time I got a 73. I am improving I am happy with that.

I gotta meet the person on page 9 who scored an 18. How hard was this test? All the tests I've taken require at least a 75 to pass, and don't count on being considered if you dont have over an 85.

[mrwonderful]

You only need a 60 to pass this test.

Minimum scores

I am not sure what the actual test's passing score is but the municipalities require a minimum of 70 on the test in order to pass to the next phase.

WOW...how many people took this test? And how much $ was it to take this test?

[PaCop3]

Cost of test

WOW...how many people took this test? And how much $ was it to take this test?

The test was $35 - They made a fortune on this one 300+ people paid and didn't even show up - tough test though

Just about 11.5K not bad for one day of paper work.

1362 applied X $35 a pop = $47,670. Cha Ching.

Thats a lot of money for a couple sheets of paper and a #2 pencil.

A ton of 50s and below...I should have signed my tennis shoe up for that test.

Has anyone heard anything about the physical testing?

Supposedly Abington alone is looking to hire some ridiculous number over the next year... something like eight new officers (which sounds low if you compare it to the city, but is high for PA suburban depts).

From what I hear, this is looking to be a big hiring year in Montgomery County (compared to last year, in which almost nobody was hired). My dept wasn't on the consortium, but good luck to all the cop hopefuls out there.
