Most written examinations are composed of (4 or 5 response) multiple-choice questions. Responses are marked on a separate answer sheet. [Answer Sheet Image] All written examinations are administered within a 3-hour time limit. Some job classes require a performance (i.e., typing, data entry) examination in addition to the written exam. Applicants may not re-take the same written examination within a period of 60 full days from the previous test date. An applicant may wish to re-test to improve his/her score. The new score (higher or lower) will automatically replace any previous score.Preparing to test: We do not offer specific study guides for written tests. The questions in each test are different for each job title. There are many published test study guides available in some libraries and bookstores. Some of these are for job that are similar to some state jobs. These and other basic skills review texts (grammar, arithmetic, reading etc.) might be of some limited help.
