TESTS SUBMITTED BY
FIRE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Green stated that Test ~16 1 was not adaptable
as an entrance examination. He stated Tests 2
and 3 are identical except for the first twelve
questions. Al1 tests contain irrelevant questions
which have no remote bearing on the position
requirements.
Mr. Green recommended that Tests 2 and 3 be
reduced to 70 relevant questions with a time limit
of one minute per question, or 70 minutes. The
number of correctly answered questions to qualify
for the register should be set at 50. Mr. Churchman
and Mr. Moore agreed with the recommendation.

It was further recommended that Test ~~l can be further
modified as a promotion examination rather than an
entrance examination. This is true since a large
number af questions may be correctly answered only
by a firefighter, therefore it is not satisfactory
as an entrance examination.
September 19, 1975 was approved as the date for the
next entrance examination.

man, that we defer the study of Rules and Regulations
