I just took the Clerical Aide exam on wednesday. I scored 81.429% Does anyone know if you have to score in the 90's in order to be considered?

Not necessarily. ..generally the lower you score the longer you have to wait...think a few years for your score.

I just took it today. Does it really take 2 years for a call?

I took it today and scored 97%. Do I have to wait longer or less based on my score.

Less...I would say 1.5 years from now assuming the test was of moderate difficulty. The test is scored as a curve - the easier the test, the more high scores there are.

Hello. My wife just took Clerical Aide exam# 5002, and got a score of 90%. I'm wondering what the hiring process is like for this position as I've heard it's filled in all city agencies (I work for MTA wondering if we have those titles), also on a score of 90% what's the average wait time on this title? I'm guessing 3 years? Thanks

90% is about a 1.5-2 year wait. I also work for the MTA and have not encountered anyone with the Clerical Aide title (I work in administration and see people with titles such as PAA, Staff Analyst, Computer Associate). I started out with the Clerical Aide title with the Comptrollers office.

I appreciate the response! Thank you very much. That's is welcomed news.
