Hello Everyone!! I just joined the site.

For those of you that took the Exam on April 4, 2009, I just want to inform you that they are sending exams results. I received mine on Friday July 31, 2209.

25-169 - Correction Officer Trainee Spanish Language - Rank #4 - Score _ 90%

25-168 - Correction Officer Trainee (English Language) - Rank #163 Score 90%

What I would like to know form those already employed by NYS DOCS or have useful information is: What are the next steps? What exactly does the physical agility test consist of? Is it true that one has to go away tot he academy and that its in Albany? How long is the training at the academy? What happens once yore in the academy? Just to make it easier, what is the complete process once one receives their score.

I thank you in advance for your assistance and replies. Blessings!!

Any one tested in October 2007 and currently in or done with the Academy?

EDIT: Okay, well I just got off the phone with my Investigator and again, no news is good news.

He also shared that there have not been any new interviews since 9/2008 and no academy classes since 1/2009. He asked that I call back in 6 weeks.

took it 2007 and am still waiting as well.
