WHAT TYPES OF EXAMINATIONS ARE GIVEN?
Each announcement will indicate the type of examination to be given. All examinations assess knowledges, skills and/or abilities needed to perform the job. For most entry titles the examinations are either multiple choice written, job simulations or orals. Occasionally, the examinations are formal reviews of education and experience. At times they are multi-part. Read the announcements carefully to see what type applies to the job you want. Test-takers must pass the indicated exam(s) in order to be placed on the eligible list for hire.
