New Cut Off Score
Word in the comment sections is a few mid-to-high 40's are passing, so we've gone from an initial estimate of 51 all the way down to 46 or 45 as a "passing" grade.
That's just embarrassing.

I think the comments you're reading are some P.O.'s pulling your leg. From the most reputable comments I saw a Score of 58 = Failed & 62 = Pass. My guess would be the true cutoff was 60.
You've GOT to be kidding me??? So, why even study for the first half at all? Way to go on the morale boosting. Ass clowns
Then why are people with scores in the fifties failing?
CUTOFF IS 70?
Ain't feel so bad get inn 58 an all. (One more restroom break and I'd be 100%)
Not true. Someone posted a 58 and failed. Scores lower did not pass either. Someone's yanking your chain.
Buddy got 48 and failed. Some I know got low 50's and passed. Looks like 50 may be cut off.
Yes it is SCC. But we all know why it has to be that low. We need a diverse pool to pick from. I mean anywhere else 50% is below failing and grounds for dismissal from an educational institute. Only here on the CPD is the status quo. It's appalling and shameful that there is no minimum standard even close to something respectable. The city doesn't give a shit about the best and the brightest leading the way. It's evident from the time you start the initial process. We are the it department in tge entire Nation that does not rank its entry applicants on score. It's just a lottery system in which a random number is generated. So someone with a 50% on the entrance exam will be hired before that person who excels as works hard and scores a perfect 100. WELCOME TO THE CHICAGO WAY.
Rumors, mere rumors. What will be will be.
That's a joke!! How can you not guess a 45% if you went through the academy. Shit I think a civilian with common sense can do that. Embarrassing is right. I
Do they want supervisors that know the job or no?
What is the point of the test if it's going to be that low? If that's true what a waste of time and money
70 is passing
I am a m/4 scored a 52 and my letter said I did not qualify.
No matter how hard you study.........You cant beat the meritoriuous past present and future entitlement mindless ghost payrolling leaders.
BAH HUMBUG!

Got my letter today 61, moving on to the next stage.
Lower standards and raise expectations! That will work!
I remember years back I had applied to the LVMPD and got accepted. Well, I wound up staying here nonetheless (we all make mistakes) but the point is I remember my initial interview with my recruiter. Her question was "Why do you want to leave Chicago?" I mentioned my reasons and her exact words were, "CPD is literally the laughing stock of the police world. How you guys handle promotions is a complete fraud and you should be embarrassed to be from there." Her words, not mine. This of course still echoes every time I hear a high ranking boss leave here for another department as police chief. I just wonder how or why he/she got that spot. Like my buddy Billy S. says, "I guess no one else was qualified."
I used to brag about being CPD and now I won't even say I'm a cop. A long line of corruption and the whole promotion thing? What a fucking joke. I still think the whole "merit" thing is an embarrassment to the city and department. If I was black and had to be promoted of such a list of "merit" what does that say about me or the system itself? Talk about corporate welfare. This job is a complete embarrassment to law enforcement community. So glad I have two years to go and have plan B in the works. Plan B? Hey Snoopy, cue the Charlie Brown trumpet again....
I own a biz and get leads because I do a good job and have a good referral base. Not because my dad is this, or that or I know so and so. I can stand proud on what I have built and accomplished. How many with a white shirt can say the earned it? I am sure several can and kudos to them.
P.S. RE you can go fuck yourself on the 5% raise. Oh and it's 85 degrees here in Costa Rica today! Woo Hoo!
Got a 48 and failed. And for the "M/4" who got a 52 who gives a fuck wat race you are, what does that have to do with anything here! Knock that shit off!
When the goal is to achieve a "balanced" list of candidates the passing score goes down like the titanic.
Now many "poor" test takers, that other wise would be the best of the best as a supervisor, are eligible for merit selection.
I'm glad I'm near the end.
60 and I passed. Didn't study and deserved the score I got.
I'm an m/2 got a 53 said I did not qualify? So looks like 55 is passing.
I am a m/2 and scored a 58 and passed
I know someone with 55 and passed
I had my partner read my letter to me... I passed!
Well I don't understand this then because this is my third promotional sgt test that I've take. And I have over 20 years on and I scored 47 and it says I passed. Maybe it's years of service extra points, or I am a female black to I get extra points for that too? Very confusing
The passing score is at LEAST 60. I think it may dip down to 50 but I haven't spoken to anyone under 61 yet.
A phone call was made by a PO to Human Resources yesterday. The PO asked what the passing score was and was told 45. I have also heard from people of different races that passing scores were very different depending on which race box you check.
People need to email scc pics of their letter showing the score. Y's the only proof. I've beer seen so many trolls appear on this site.
So glad I decided NOT to waste my time on another "legitimate" promotional exam.
55 is passing I know.
I got a 41.5% and passed.
I'm a M/4 who did not read one general order and has been out of patrol for over 10 years. I expected to fail the test, I received my letter yesterday and learned I scored a 57 and will be taking the second part.
My partner got a 59 and did not pass. He's a M2 and didn't study. My buddy, who happens to be a M1 scored a 59 as well and did not pass.
Not sure how you guys will spin that, no race norming on those scores and looks like two bonafide cases of cutoff scores at 59 or 60.
I got a 63 and passed M/2
I got a 50 and I passed.
93 is passing. That I can verify.
I know a friend who got a 58 and it was passing, and another friend got a 52 and it was failing. I saw both of their letters to confirm this. The cutoff is between 52 and 58, I can assure you of that.
It's crazy that anything under a 60 (a D- at any school) is passing. I think the state exam to be a police officer is a 67 at minimum. In reality, anything under a 70 should not be allowed to go on further.
I received a 60 and passed
Our administration is immune to embarrassment.
56 was cutoff
It should be 70! ANYONE can be a Sgt. But it takes a special kind of person to be a supervisor! Just sayin'.
I was going over the study material provided by IOS solution for the second part of the test. In the scenario with the ANOV, Mr. Jones was cited for talking on a cell phone. It states that you as the sergeant went to 12640 S. Holiday Court in order to log bt. 2653. From this statement I assume that a traffic stop was conducted by bt. 2653 at 12640 S. Holiday Court of Mr. Jones. Why is Mr. Jones address listed on the anov as respondents address of 12460 S. Holiday Court and the address of violation 3640 E. 79th? Shouldn't the address of violation be 12460 S. Holiday Court as the scenario reads and should not be listed as the respondents address?
Anyone know of any perfect scores?
Ah what the hell, if you showed up, you passed!
Gary and Rahm
I just did 41 push ups and passed my exam. I just did 52 sit ups and passed my exam. I just did 99 farts on second watch and had my Sgt talk to me for over an hour. You know what I told him? SHUT UP FOOL, DONT MAKE ME MAD.
I talked to CITY HR today and they said passing was 55.
Just an idea for all future test after this one, the score on part 1 should be the tiebreaker for ties on part two, not seniority.
File a FOIA (Freedom of Information request) from the city and see what is passing.
It could be a Northside / Peter Karl / SCC investigation !!
my 69 says i passed.
hey maybe it was broken down by race, if you are Asian you need above 80, white above 70, hispanic above 60, black 50 and any other race above 40.. you never know with this city.
Human resources can end all the debate and tell us what the passing score was with a simple statement. Is this too difficult?
Got a 48 and failed. And for the "M/4" who got a 52 who gives a fuck wat race you are, what does that have to do with anything here! Knock that shit off!

Hey dipshit, if you read previous threads you would see that there were rumors that the 'curve' was 'race biased (normed)' therefore, telling your race, like the m/4 did is relevant. Go back to sleep.

Holy dogshit that was ripped apart last month. Pay attention.
84 passed and 54 passed. That's a problem. I don't want a Sgt. that passed with a 54 interpreting a general order for me during a "cluster fuck job."
OT: Is Shields on a beat car now after being sanctioned.

A big long post knocking the CPD, an organization you no longer belong to. Yet, you still read the blog. Miss it? Enjoy your life down there and remember, you are not missed or remembered.
"...It's eighty five degrees in Costa Rica today..."
Eddie Hicks? Is that you?
