If you had a 96, I would say its a long shot. 97 is a contender, based on how many they hire.I imagine this score is too low to qualify as a trooper?

sit and wait, dont quit your day job.I got the email tonight and I got a 98. It was my first time taking it so I'm not too sure where to go from here. It mentioned it will put me on the eligibility list for 2013 Police Officer Eligible List, the Eligible List for the MBTA Transit Police, and the Eligible List for the municipality in which you have claimed Residency Preference. My question is what is the best thing to do now?

I think like anything else, its just a tool to weed out and trim down the number of applicants. Just makes the number easier for them to manage.
This was my first time taking the test. I'm pretty darn sure I've aged out and had no chance to begin with, but I wanted to take the test any way to see what it was like (otherwise I'd be wondering for the rest of my life). My score is a miserable 92 so I guess that's my answer. On the bright side, I won't have to brace for the big pay cut I'd expect if I had made this change in careers.
Ugh first time taking it and I got a 96. From what I've been reading that's not very good. So looks like I won't be holding any hope for a police job any time soon haha
What absolute silliness. I am no more qualified than someone who scored a 96. I sure don't get the point of this test. Is it used to ensure the least educated have an opportunity to pass and be hired?
Isn't veteran/disabled vet an extra 5 points on top of your test score?
Minority status does not give you points.Minority status also supposedly gives you points.
I'm sure a national search would find you something to pursue in that arena.

Or if you know a state rep, you can always have them pass special legislation that puts you at the top of the list.Err no. It's to prevent daddy who is a selectmen from putting his kid on top of the list. The town of Braintree fire is notorious for this. Want more points work as a part timer or join the service.

No I'm not kidding.
Or be mayor menino and get your kid put on and made a detective. Lots of ways to circumvent veterans if you try hard enough. My take is if you need help avoiding the rules that everyone else has to follow then you are a pos. play by the rules like everyone else.
Your good thoughtd, idealism and desires to level the playing field are for naught. The people that get on that way could care less if you think they are a pos or not. Life is not fair, and nobody cares.
I'm guessing the the sate police doesn't round up but cities do. I got a 99 but 98.57 for state...what was worth .43 points!?
