Firefighter Examination
Scores
What to
expect
Either the person who monitors your examination or the
examination book itself will tell you when and where the
official answers to the exam will be posted or
published. Be sure
to check the published answers. If you do not get a perfect
score, you may find that you do not agree with all the official
answers. If so,
and if you feel very strongly that the answer you chose was as
good or better than the official answer, you can file a
protest. How the
protest procedure works should be covered on the examination
instructions or be available at the office of the examining
agency.
If you need to file a
protest to your firefighter examination
scores
If you are going to submit a protest to the examiner it should
usually be done within a limited time. This protest should include
an explanation of why you believe your choice is as good or
better than the official answer, and you should list any books
or reference materials that support your
claim. If
you find it necessary to protest more than one question,
you should submit each protest on a separate sheet of
paper. Sign
your name and give your address on the bottom of each
sheet. The
examining agency will review all of your protests, make a
final determination, and then publish an official answer
key.
There may be several months between the time you take the exam
and when the final answer key and the official list are
published. When
the final list of candidates is established, you will be
notified by mail of your number on the. The next step will be
the announcement of appointments for physical and emotional
tests but it may
also be several months before this happens.
You must keep abreast of what is going on during these waiting
periods. It is important that you notify the examining agency
of any change in your address or status that could affect its
ability to contact you.
