Y2Julio Posted May 31, 2009 Share #354 Posted May 31, 2009 I am out from of town. I got assigned to Grace Dodge VHS in the Bronx off of Fordham Road. (Near the zoo and Fordham University.) I am going to be staying near Columbus Circle, so I was thinking of taking the to 207th Street and getting the Bx12-SBS to Southern Ave then walking the two blocks. Does the test really take 3 hours? The admission ticket says one session of 3 hours. My test is scheduled for 10am, so should I plan on not getting out till 1pm. Also, are they very strict on not taking cell phones into the buildings? The test shouldn't take 3 hours but you have up to 3 hours to finish it. I would say it's around 40-60 minutes if you really take your time and double check all your answers. I would keep the cellphone turned off and hidden in your pocket. They don't do scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnyc Posted May 31, 2009 Share #355 Posted May 31, 2009 They don't check for cellphones. Just turn it off before you get into the building and you will be fine. For those of you who have not taken a Civil Service test before, make sure you bring a form of personal identification and #2 pencils. Also, they give you a form on a yellow sheet of paper to write your answers. About four weeks after the exam, DCAS posts the proposed answers on their web site and you can determine your score on the exam. Of course, this is a tentative answer key subject to candidates contesting answers. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfnyc Posted May 31, 2009 Share #357 Posted May 31, 2009 I don't remember being checked for ID, they just check your admittance sheet. I have taken two tests in the past six months and both times, when seated in the classroom, they asked to see photo ID. They go around to each seat to verify who you are and also do a quick fingerprint. While you are told to get there by 10am, they start the exam about an hour later. I have never seen such a slow and methodical process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomotion69 Posted May 31, 2009 Share #361 Posted May 31, 2009 Mine is mellow yellow as well. Word of advice,don't get there too early as they don't let people inside unti the time you are scheduled to be there. This is even more true for the pm test takers,you will bake outside standing in line for over an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanfortitude Posted June 1, 2009 Share #364 Posted June 1, 2009 try not to double post. If you haven't received your admittance by 4 days prior to the exam you need to visit their office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony300zxtt Posted June 1, 2009 Share #367 Posted June 1, 2009 thats exactly what i am thinking also..but i guess i will give it try..i wish i can go get the admission card but my job is not letting me leave early or taking a day off...so i am screwed as we speak..so my only option is to wait on that long ass line and take a chance and see if they let me in to take the exam and maybe i can sign some paper works or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will ask for the people that don't have admission cards and you will get a blank one that you must fill out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duelingdragons Posted June 1, 2009 Share #370 Posted June 1, 2009 If I can't make it to my session due to a prior engagement, am I pretty much screwed, or can I call somewhere to see if they can put me in a different session? Thanks. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. =) Pretty much screwed. If it's a social thing my advice would be to give the test priority, your friends will wait. If it's something important that you really can't get out of (Death in the family - i sure hope not, but something along those lines) then I don't know what to tell you.
