The return by date on the letter was July 28th. I'm sure they are aware this is after the practice test. Can it be there is more than one practice test? 

 
Usually Westchester offers the CPAT twice a year, in February and then again in August. Like i said in an earlier post, there are already a fair number of people within the 100s who took the CPAT in February. Just stay healthy, in the gym, and taking tests and you'll do fine.

if you want the job, I mean REALLY WANT the job, stay in shape study all the time, get your EMT and take every test you can (NY, CT) don't put all your eggs in one basket, but if you do everything in your power to prepare and put yourself in the best position you could possibly be in, paired with studying your a** off and taking every exam that is announced within 50 miles of your residence, you will eventually get the nod.
 
On the contrary, if you take 1 or 2 tests and sit on the list crossing your fingers, then complain when one guy gets sent to the CPAT and you didn't. you may find yourself waiting for a very long time.
 
At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself "How bad to I really want it?"
 
If you want it bad enough, you will do everything you can to get this career

guys and gals,  stop worrying about the pay  and steps  and work charts.  Focus on one thing at a time.  FAIL cpat  and you wont have to worry about anything else. Come to the test prepared or don't bother coming,  there are 300 people behind you on the list that will take your spot!!

Did anyone take the CPAT the other week for the county? I believe this is the last round off that list?

 
You should still get your hands on a vest and do the stair mill. I'm not sure any particular workout, other than hitting the mill with the vest, will prepare you fully.
 
You'll get a letter if they chose to send you to the CPAT. There are, however, a bunch on the list who have already passed the agility.
 
Good luck.

If they have a bunch of guys who have alreAdy passed the agility, why would they need to send more?

Based off the contract I believe this is the pay scale:
Start- $37,500
1st Step- $49,738
2nd Step- $61,976
3rd Step- $74,214
4th Step- $86,452
5th Step- $98,690
 
Also I would recommend getting to a gym and training for the CPAT incase you get to go to it. If you start now, especially training on a stair master with a vest on, if/when you go to the CPAT you should be good.
