Section 95.13. Tests in examinations  


Latest version.
  • (a) Types of tests. In addition to written, oral and performance tests, the Director may authorize an evaluation of education and experience, medical tests, physical strength and physical agility tests, and other types of tests, singly or in combination as the circumstances warrant. For promotional examinations, the Director may authorize other performance criteria, such as seniority and performance evaluations developed under a uniform Departmental system. Performance evaluations shall not be a weighted factor in an interdepartmental promotion examination.

    (b) Weights of tests. The Director, after considering the relative value of the tests in assessing the relative capacity and fitness of candidates to perform the duties of the class to which they seek to be appointed or promoted, and after consultation with the appointing authority, will fix the relative weights of the tests. Modifications to the relative weights will be announced to all candidates.
