I realize SSN will be the tie-breakers, but should a person with a perfect score feel confident theyll get the job? Or is it still very much a uncertain prospect?
It will be enough for a call. Yes, there are a lot more people taking the test but I have a feeling they'll use this list for awhile. And even though you're confident of a perfect score, a lot of people didn't get one last time so you never know...

Yeah I hear ya, I am actually petrified of the protest session lol. I know thats the only time you can check all your answers, and its really the best indicator of how you did until actual list numbers.

Nah dude ... That's the best score you can possibly get
If a couple hundred military vets got the same score then they would have a 110, or higher
But I was looking at the last list and that was very RARE
Besides they deserve the job more than we regular folks do..
They had the balls. To go fight in war

If your confident I wouldn't worry about it.. You got plenty of time to be called
If a lot people fail the drug test.. A lot of people don't want to show up to the test
They'd rather just be druggies

Nothings guaranteed because this is the city, you can't trust anything till it actually happens, BUT.... with a score of 105 you have a definite great shot at getting on ( barring drug or medical issues) The only issue is when. Usually I'd say with a score of 105 you would be called the first year. This is not set in stone but they usually hire approx 4 classes a year @ approx 125 per class. That means in total this list will hire about 2,000 people before the list expires. Its trickier this year because of the massive amt of people who took it, you could be one of 9,000 who got 105. Then it all comes down to optimum ssn and how many people get d/q along the way. But yeah, you got a good shot

holy.. your right brother its certainly possible
for that many people to get 105.00 the more takers the more possible high scores

If that happens I am def. screwed
Look at the last list.
It'll give you an idea of what to maybe expect

The first 3,000 + people on that list had 105-100 on 6063. so picture that X3 for 5001

I wish I was able to take 6063. The odds were much better especially with two Extensions

Same here but I can't wait forever. I really want to know how I did. As long as the protest is on a day I can go in going.
