I paid Bernstein $2,300 and I'm 2300% sure I failed.
I took 3 prior Sgt tests and this one was by far the hardest, where's my merit pass
Since merit is such a heavy topic (about time) and Superintendent Beck and Mayor Lightfoot basically admitted that people have been cheated out of promotions because of the absolute unfair, disgusting process, the undeserving mopes greeting the test takers could’ve stayed home or have gone to their side piece’s house for a little bit. Seeing you makes things worse, you are not respected.
Yeah, Squad, only happy to help here.
Q. (Theory question)
The Superintendent is caught dirty, demands he be
investigated. An "Interim" is selected rather quickly who just
retired under his own cloud of farts. After initial pass thru
visits the "Interim" announces he will be staying 90 days, not
one year as initially announced to the media. Do you
1. Think this was pre-planned
2. Think "Interim" truly got cold feet and utilized exit clause
3. Think the optics mirror the "run & shoot" offense in football
4. Think otherwise (manually enter response in blank provided)
A. #4; Enter famous last words from outgoing at presser:
"I have more questions than answers"
I just want to give you a heads up, be careful with all the positive reviews from the so called Bernstein students, as someone who worked for him I can tell you that I and many others were paid to come on here and pump up the company with glowing reviews. Bernstein made 7.5 million from you police officers in chicago, I'm sure you can do the math if you don't believe me. Fact is only 5-10% get promoted from his class. Please ask someone you know personally who went through the class but do not believe what is on here, because I'm sure it's jeff and the crew
Sorry. Didn't take it.
Watched the 5 minute weed video, a person can't grow his own without a medical marijuana card, my question is why not, its legal, you made it legal, sounds like a lawsuit if you enforce it.
Just picked the most libtarded answers for all, because in this agency, lunacy rules. Plus, I love the job I have so don’t care about being a sgt, back to patrol, and babysitting millennials in 003 or 007 on midnights .
exempts asking officers if they studied hard a big f-ckyou i wish fat phil could had given me the answers like did to his son matt
i m sure they will be playing games with the test scores.
I have the answers
There were 57 A,s
62 B,s
29 C,s
48 D,s
52 true
26 false
Question on HAZMAT evacuation. A: 1 block radius. This just got me thinking CPD directives are more religiously inflexible than the Red Army in the Soviet Era. Shouldn’t this sort of thing depend on the substance (1 envelope of ricin vs. a trainload of poisonous gas)? Any supervisor selected by this process is either a clouted hack or is really good at rote memorization— neither a very good predictor of leadership effectiveness.

Really?
Bernstein gets the last laugh.
SCC They read some disclaimer about not sharing tests questions and answers with parties who have not taken the test. They also mentioned somethi5about a non-disclosure agreement, but I really wasn't paying attention
The test was too easy. I guess they are dumb-ing it down instead of using merit. If you didn't score above 70 percent you should be fired.
Berstein & Associates is a complete waste of money. If you can’t pass a simple test, then I dunno...
If you put the time in you should pass. The passing score is always 50-60 percent.
If you paid bernstein 2300$ and failed, well your just an idiot.
He is not a miracle worker. You still have to do the work.

As far as weed is concerned after 01 Jan 20 I’m not enforcing jack shit. Dude can have 10 lbs of weed and he can go on his way. Smoke up Johnny!
Test was fair , every person was given same reading list
i bet ll or cb did not require any exempts totake the test as someone suggested
why , because they can't pass
that one captain , later sent to inspection division (hispanic merit) did not know how to turn radio to correct zone , boundries of his district , how to use a pdt , approve arrest reports
merit , incompetent
those merit exempts at testing sight will be getting some trim from side piece before they go home , CB you should stay for a year or two and ensure no merit
let's hope and pray that a minimum score 0f 75% is required to move on to part 2
that sleepy , fto from 6 was made merit , she wouldnt get out of car to assist on traffic , incompetent , her daddy or uncle was a boss or she was good on oral presentation
like the tranny ej used to release stress
The first part is over. It’s over. You passed or you didn’t.
My concern is giving the oral test over 5 days.
Total BS! as SCC has pointed out.
The FOP has to step in and go the legal route!
What does everyone think?
I am curious. All the people that paid for Bernstein , was it helpful and worth it?

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink it. Bernstein gave you copies of the GO’s but you still need to read through the material. That was only part 1 people and the test wasn’t bad at all. Hit the books! 10 GO’s a day isn’t much and it’ll only help your part 2 score. Good luck to everybody.
The test was written so poorly

Only a soft cop would ever make any kind of an arrest regarding weed after January 1st. The courts could care less now and will definitely wash their hands with it next year. Too much room for law suits. Smoke up
Now, this might explain the motive behind the ‘No more merit decision’ Is this next step in reform...sounds like 100% merit. Careful what you wish for:
‘LAPD officers have to pass both a written test and an interview with a three-person panel composed of a captain, lieutenant and civilian in order to be promoted to ranks above detective’

On the side note:
WTF was Robin Robinson doing at the Sgt exam? To make sure her next merit pick got the right answer???
I am pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who saw her walked in...
The last Sgt test was harder, this is the 1st time I took a Bernstein class, I noticed several questions on test form his practice tests, I mean it is pricey at $2200 but it helped me, but long way to go, part 2 will show if it was worth it
Please! We can’t get rid of merit, how else will our Illustrious bosses get laid?
But seriously, since merit has finally been exposed for what it really is ( as many have been saying for years)
is it possible for the people that have been passed over for promotion by merit, that otherwise would have made it file a lawsuit?
I paid for Bernstein, the course gives you direction and material to easily study. I used Bernstein for the 2013 test and I made sgt legit. So I tell people to go the same direction, of course you still have to study. FYI

Like coppers will do anything for growing your own. The mayor has said she does not the pot heads messed with near their homes why bother getting jammed up? Work in 008 we have 2 dispensaries on Archer, went in to talk to them about January 01 2020, they said about 125 people per hour minimum many inquiries expect long lines and police to direct traffic. Ready for a total shit show only 52 in the entire state and we have to many in chiraq. Watch the people/folks potheads freezing cold they will be out in force bet the lines will be blocks long,and watch the complaints from neighbors who don't realize what is going on. Medical weed is great helps many but this shit will be epic, watch have you ever looked into it?The THC levels are extreme which will give a total mind fuck,and yes its not mom and dads weed from years ago.
Queue up the queen song "we will rock you," this will definitely rock may worlds,and watch the amateurs who will try it because it is "legal," first time could be their last time, then they will get in a vehicle and drive, hope 891-92 etc are ready for multiple accidents! Cfd ready for calls, Lori is already adding ambulances 6 more coming quickly does she already know the problems coming,or is she to busy stuffing her pockets with the cash from approving it?
More than 30% of questions had confusing answers because all applied but there was no all of the above option. I gotta day tho, it was strange to see more than a dozen people get up and hand their test in as finished with in 20-30 min. I’m not the only one that noticed it, I’m glad.

Something that completely overshadowed the test was very credible information that our former Supterintendent flew the coup to a country with a nonextradition treaty. I call bullshit.

We were told that this criminal had the intentions to take things but was scared off after entering premises. Attempt residential burglary was the correct answer
The Bernstein practice questions and audio helped me.
I hated reading that crap on the list. I studied my ass off.
Well congrats to all that passed test . Will Charlie Beck and Loti 💡 make 70% the cut off to move on to Part two ? They shoul , CPD has enough unqualified supervisors , requiring a 70 isn’t raising the bar by much but my guess after taking the test , those police offers that were counting on merit , political promotions will be eliminated. Let’s give all the male , female Asians, Blacks , Caucans and Hispanic test takers that studied hard a fair chance to be promoted to sergeant . Maybe the others will prepare for the next sergeant test . Send a message CPD wants competent Supervisors and Detectives. Lori it’s slip to you and Superintendent Beck Keep your promise. No Merit
Searching the passenger area and discover heroin under driver seat? That didn't make sense.
The last Sgt test was harder, this is the 1st time I took a Bernstein class, I noticed several questions on test form his practice tests, I mean it is pricey at $2200 but it helped me, but long way to go, part 2 will show if it was worth it
Helped you do with what? Handing you information that is already in the orders you have access too?
Hell, I didn’t even know the first question. What are the core values of CPD?
Beck watched the 5 minute weed video 12 times and received
ONE Credit Hour of CCE (Cop Continuing Education)
It’s good to speak to bosses you trust about the best way to study for part 2 and which group is best.
They will tell you honestly.
Good luck everybody
I’m very surprised that no one has mentioned anything about the secret Sgt study group given by a lie-tenant from noble. With again special guest speaker SME Waller. Same BS that happened with the lieutenants test happened again with this Sgt’s test. this time they were smart enough not to have it at headquarters.
This cheating did not happen on the last Sgt’s test, maybe because NOBLE was not in charge
Good luck with your studies common folk
Not true, Bernstein always has the best results. The whole department knows that. Talk to anyone that got promoted and they always say they attended the course
"Hell, I didn’t even know the first question. What are the core values of CPD?"
Do what our exempts do,
but not on camera and don't get caught.
The maximum amount of days without pay (Spar) is 3 days
In car camera- indicates that the memory requires to record is too low -less than 30 minutes s03-05

Which directive have a limited duration - department notice
60 year old lady carjacked- Aggravated Vehicular hijacking
Probable cause exists when a crime has occurred or in the commission of occurring- not when it’s about to occur
When should you consult in swat when you are about to do a search warrant - when it’s a no knock search warrant
A certain one must be executed within how many hours - 96
When should a traffic pursuit be terminated - when the rest is greater ...
When a sergeant successfully makes a bid how long does the department have to notify him - within three days
Domestic incident both have injuries but one is the Predominate aggressor Who should be arrested - predominate aggressor
Which order protection last for 30 days - and Interim order of protection
When should property be inventoried-As soon as practical
An arrestee is in custody and he has not been charged, how long....- 48 hours
An arrest is in custody charged with a warrant and hospitalized - Deliver a minimus to the department of corrections

Hazmat in a residential area what’s the boundary -one block
Active shooter five contact officers go in and observe an injured person what should they do - notify OEMC of the location of the injured person And continue to neutralize the threat
Hazmat first officer on the scene after he evaluate the situation what’s next - Isolate so on lookers won’t get contaminated
Suspect wearing an explosive device and swat is 10 minutes away what should the first officer on the scene do - Wait for swat
Officers observed a guy breaking into a school Through a window who should be the complainant - ???? Security inspector for school.. I think.

Attempted Residential Burglary- they through the word INTENT in there.
Did any of the question relate to no matter how many felony arrests you make Kim Fox will refuse to prosecute?
The very reason I stopped taking promotional test, the department curved it so low, it was unfair to the ones who actually studied. 70% or 75% percent is fair. The department should aim to promote the candidates who applied themselves. Not someone who barely made it.
The minor in need of medical attention notify the youth division should be thrown out because you also have to notify the Illinois Department of children and family services in the same directive- and both were choices

Waller is the Gene Williams of this sgts test. Last and only one with a final copy of the exam. Part 1 don’t matter since everyone will pass but you all need to make some noise before part 2 comes around. Any truth to johnsons johnson moving to Lybia?
Am I the ONLY ONE who notice that unusual number of people had to use the "bathroom pass" for a 100 question mc test?! They never really check people for phones or watches. I am pretty sure some ppl snug them in. I am not saying there are a lot of cheaters, but there could be potential for someone who go to the bathroom stall and "take a shit".....just saying

Guess again. Check the ILCS and find Attempt Burglary
2500 people could take Berstein class , maybe only 5% actually attend all classes and study all the material on reading list provided by CPD
Clearly describes prohibitions on Taser use
Explosion hazards
Removing barbs
Multiple Tasers on one subject
Drive stuns
Persons vulnerable to injury from Tasers
This was copied from Chicago Police Website, use of force policy.
so which answer was correct on the test.
Removing the merit system will not get people what they want. The City and Dept will now use the next phase, the oral interviews , to shape how they want the list to turn out. So now, rather then the merit system being skewed, Regular hardworking, hard studying Officers will get screwed because now the only way to get minorities in the upper ranks is to make the list that you want. You can hear it in every speech Lightfoot makes, And today’s Tribune.

You failed yourself. You should’ve study and put in more time.
The test writers were smart this time, they quoted the directives in the questions. They told you exactly where they got the question from. You’re going to have a hard time disputing the questions . Except the question with the juvenile who injured himself on the way to school there were two answers that was possible that the Youth Investigation Section and the Illinois Department of children and family services both are notifications .
Guess again. Check the ILCS and find Attempt Burglary
unlawful entry a with an intent to commit a theft or other felony therein = Burglary
CPD Moto, RESPECT
Two case reports, ARSON
Search Warrant, 96 HOURS
Home Invasion incident, CRIMINAL SEXUAL ASSAULT CLASSIFICATION
Changing the formula of a drug, DRUG ANALOG
To the idiot with the Ilcs Attempt Burglary response . There is an attempt Burglary, all attempts fall under 5/8

Think about the obvious morons that have passed a BAR exam and know next to nothing about anything, let alone the law!
Only a soft cop would ever make any kind of an arrest regarding weed after January 1st. The courts could care less now and will definitely wash their hands with it next year. Too much room for law suits. Smoke up

If the courts COULD care less, that means they care at least a little bit. I think you meant they COULDN'T care less, which means they don't care at all.

You used "always" twice. On a test, absolute words restrict possibilities. "No, never, none, always, every, entirely, only" imply the statement must be true 100% of the time and usually indicate "false" answers. False, just like your statemebt. I scored high enough and was promoted in rank order. I did not attend the Bernstein course.

Wow. Speechless. I hope the above poster was joking /\
(720 ILCS 5/8-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 8-4)
Sec. 8-4. Attempt.
(a) Elements of the offense.
A person commits the offense of attempt when, with intent to commit a specific offense, he or she does any act that constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of that offense.
(b) Impossibility.
It is not a defense to a charge of attempt that because of a misapprehension of the circumstances it would have been impossible for the accused to commit the offense attempted.
Some of them were getting paid OT in that secret study group

I studied hard...but for a different test. Not at the McCormick place, but in the front seat of a Chevy. I knew exactly where to put my mouth on Eddie's macrophone, and how to articulate my hands around his test-tickles. I think I scored well judging by the look on his face....lol
Losing the merit system or making it more transparent will still screw us, especially when Groot sees that certain people aren’t represented when being promoted. The oral interview will he used to shape the list as they see fit.
The wording on this test was horrible. Hands down. They gave you two answers that were both right I know they tell you to select the best answer but both answers are the best answer. Policing is not black and white the rules might be but you can’t ask somebody multiple choice questions without giving a clear-cut answer. Whoever wrote this test and whoever the special person was that assisted them you guys do not know how to write a test, and you’re probably a loser with clout who doesn’t know any better and never did anything on the street
What was up with the blue dots next to some of the answers? The text was all in black ink?
There is no Attempt charges for the purchase of reporting.
Cut off to move on to part two should be 78% , nothing lower .
In the incident reporting guide under burglary there is attempt residential burglary.
Break in with intent to commit theft = residential burglary even if you run off. I got lots wrong but I know that’s right.
The taser question asked when will you not use a taser per consent decree: pregnant lady, elderly, volatile/explosive or unless you give verbal warning. Consent decree forbids taser use in volatile/explosive situations however for pregnant lady or elderly it specifically prohibits UNLESS they’re an assailant. So I believe the only answer left without any ifs/buts is the volatile/explosive situation. I looked it up now, got it wrong on test.
ILCS specifically defines a burglary as without lawful authority enters with the intent to commit a felony or theft. However, we also have the attempt charge available even if not listed in ILCS, and common practice in Cook County, if the guy didn’t take anything, he gets the attempt burg. I wonder if that question can be appealed or thrown out.

Not true, Bernstein always has the best results. The whole department knows that. Talk to anyone that got promoted and they always say they attended the course

Not true. There are people who legit studied on their own and made it without attending any classes. But signing up for his class, and attending, and doing the studying, is a good way to prepare in a structured setting, especially if you need a bit of organization and discipline to get it done.

Searching the passenger area and discover heroin under driver seat? That didn't make sense.

Does anyone remember the question about a lady going in an unlocked window but she wasn’t able to take anything because the alarm went off?��
-
We were told that this criminal had the intentions to take things but was scared off after entering premises. Attempt residential burglary was the correct answer 12/15/2019 07:06:00 PM

In reality it’s a classic OEC 311 callback.
This should have been an FTO question because it’s basic Case Reporting taught in PPO skool.
Another fact, Att Res Burglary GOCR would be kicked back to CTTP with same arrest charge, pending signed complaint of course.
Furthermore, Don’t bother the Area anymore (click) with stuff like this.
question 100. it specifically stated in the narrative portion of the question, "similar". there are 2 correct answers both by definition a synthetic drug and an analogue drug are correct.
General Order G03-02 Use of Force
Firing into buildings or through doors, windows, or other openings when the person lawfully fired at is not clearly visible, unless directed at a specific location and such force is reasonably necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to the sworn member or to another person. In such circumstances, the use of deadly force is permissible only if the member has identified the appropriate target prior to discharging the firearm and has taken reasonable precautions to ensure that people other than the target will not be struck.
so it’s ok to let off a warning shot to let someone know they’re under arrest?
I was in the Headquarters study group for 35th street personnel only and
I came away very pleased. Our instructors were right on. Didn’t have to pay a penny.

Question on HAZMAT evacuation. A: 1 block radius. This just got me thinking CPD directives are more religiously inflexible than the Red Army in the Soviet Era. Shouldn’t this sort of thing depend on the substance (1 envelope of ricin vs. a trainload of poisonous gas)? Any supervisor selected by this process is either a clouted hack or is really good at rote memorization— neither a very good predictor of leadership effectiveness.

............................................
Called a haz-mat plan into operation a million years ago (Red, I think) and had ISPI shut down a six lane expressway, get their bird up in the air, and ordered an evacuation of Alligator Gardens before my new Sgt. arrived on the scene. I told the new Sgt. to have each of the districts that responded with a wagon, cars, and Sgt. to write sup reports off of my RD #. This was not policy at the time but made more sense that me just saying that they arrived on scene. Sgt. Barry, 4th district, a legend in his own mind, objected but did have his response units do as we wished, so that they could accurately describe what their assigned duties were. I believe I changed policy with that sup report call.
I bet that couldn't be handled the same way today.

Anonymous said - Guess again. Check the ILCS and find Attempt Burglary
Wow. Speechless. I hope the above poster was joking /\
(720 ILCS 5/8-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 8-4)
Sec. 8-4. Attempt.
(a) Elements of the offense.
A person commits the offense of attempt when, with intent to commit a specific offense, he or she does any act that constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of that offense.
(b) Impossibility.
It is not a defense to a charge of attempt that because of a misapprehension of the circumstances it would have been impossible for the accused to commit the offense attempted.
12/16/2019 11:45:00 AM
Im not speechless. I know there are dunces on this job and you are one of them. You should have kept reading the statute you posted. Try and get Attempt Residential Burglary charged. Funny thing is some of these Asa’s at Felony Review might actually look for that charge.
Goof!
(720 ILCS 5/19-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 19-3)
Sec. 19-3. Residential burglary.
(a) A person commits residential burglary when he or she knowingly and without authority enters or knowingly and without authority remains within the dwelling place of another, or any part thereof, with the intent to commit therein a felony or theft. This offense includes the offense of burglary as defined in Section 19-1.
(a-5) A person commits residential burglary when he or she falsely represents himself or herself, including but not limited to falsely representing himself or herself to be a representative of any unit of government or a construction, telecommunications, or utility company, for the purpose of gaining entry to the dwelling place of another, with the intent to commit therein a felony or theft or to facilitate the commission therein of a felony or theft by another.
(b) Sentence. Residential burglary is a Class 1 felony.
(Source: P.A. 96-1113, eff. 1-1-11; 97-1108, eff. 1-1-13.)
Attempt Residential Burglary is not a charge. Read the word “charge” carefully.
Case reporting terms are different than ILCS Statutes.
If the INTENT was to commit a theft in somebody’s dwelling, regardless of the theft actually occurred, it is Residential Burglary. Period. But don’t believe this Detective. Keep on being a dumbass if you’d like.
Although in Cook County it becomes Criminal Trespass.
After 32 years on, glad I’m retired. Good luck to all who studied and want to be a sgt. I retired with chevrons (promoted by score), but with the millennial personnel “ you hurt my feelings”, and the public, who most hate the police, I feel bad for Sgts and what they are up against.
who is to be notified after a sexual harassment beef to an immediate supervisor? b.i.a. or copa or somebody else. anybody know?
“There is no Attempt charges for the *purchase of reporting.”

To the idiot with the Ilcs Attempt Burglary response . There is an attempt Burglary, all attempts fall under 5/8
12/16/2019 08:43:00 AM
Pardon me while I ATTEMPT to use your logic:
Attempt Battery, hmmmmm
Attempt Home Invasion, mmmm
Attempt Criminal Trespass, ummm
Attempt UUW, thinking here
Get the picture yet?
Passing score for the test is not based on academic standards, Passing score is set at the level to prevent accusations of discrimination. For the sgt test to not be considered to have discriminated it must meet 4/5th (80%) test by Federal government. This shows that the test has no Adverse Impact (discrimination) against a protected group.
For example: 400 people take test
100 Black
100 White
100 Asian
100 Hispanic
Passing score is set at 70%
55 Black score 70% or more
50 White “ “
49 Asian “ “
43 Hispanic “ “
Group with highest pass rate is Black at 55
Divide each group by group with highest initial selection ratio (Black with 55) to determine impact ratio
White 50/55= 90%
Asian 49/55= 89%
Hispanic 43/55= 78%
So this test shows discrimination (Adverse Impact) to Hispanics since less than an 80% impact ratio was shown.
To avoid showing discrimination, the passing score will be lowered until groups have 80% or greater impact ratio.
It is common misunderstanding that 80% of each group (Black, White, etc) needs to pass, but that is not true, it is only required that groups need to have an 80% or greater impact ratio (when divided by group with highest initial selection ratio). In this example you can see only 55% Black, 50% White and 49% Asian of test takers would have passed and met the 80% or greater Adverse Impact representation.
This is why the test results (for over 4,000 test takers) take so long to be announced and a passing score is not given out until after results are announced.
How long before you get the results back?

Shit, was that code for the corresponding correct answer? 1 dot=A, 2dots= B, 3 dots = c, etc

12/16/2019 05:09:00 PM
To my CPS Rockstars, I believe they will award percentage points on some questions. The correct answers get full value points and correct, but not 1st choice answers get partial credit
Person talking about headquarters only study group. So I take it you had a the test to study from, hahaha. Either way you will be a terrible sgt. Reason, why I took it because I dont want someone like you to be my supervisor.
Why the fuck would anyone want to be a sergeant in today's world? Fuck that!!!!
There is a difference between case reporting and charging.
IUCR is for classifying the crime and is only listed on the Incident Reporting Guide CPD-63.451
MCC and ILCS is for charging describing the offense that was committed.
As a PO, you have to understand the difference. Please don't be "that" officer.
If you don't understand, please ask. You know the "goto" PO's that you can ask questions.
Supervisor assigned to conduct a home visit will do so between the hours of 0800-2100.

The passenger area or passenger compartment of a vehicle is the interior, where the occupants sit. It's not a specific side of the vehicle. I don't know how the question was worded, but it seems you misunderstood, and assumed it was a trick question. At least you learned something now. Congrats!

The question was you find drugs in a LOCKED BOX or compartment under the passenger side seat if, I remember.
This Burglary Dic says Burglary, for as little as that is worth.
Paid berinstein studied did all the work and still am uncertain when will they give the results
What's the low end number they are considering as passing ?
Beck make the passing score 70% or better. Regardless of which study group you attended. Face it, If candidates can’t score above 70% on a 100 question multiple-choice test then they shouldn’t be supervising anyone. 70% is the requirement for most departments. This department has dropped the last passing score to 56% to accommodate bosses like (EW’s) secretary and we wonder why we have low level bottom feeding supervisors.
I'm right here whenever you need me and whatever your needs are.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
