Anyone know what kind of score you need on the written to be hired? 110 to __?

a perfect 100 , nothing less

This is not so, but you SHOULD get a 100 to be sure. The people who are currantly being hired have scored between a 96.5 and a 97.

100 plus 5 point for being a city resident

no matter what you got on the written you must insure the 100 on the physical. Its the only thing that you can guarantee on the hiring process. You must be in great shape and rock the physical this will make up for one or two wrong on the written but thats the max. A buddy of mine had gotten 100 on the physical and 1 or 2 wrong on the written, no city residency and he was in the high 3000s. He just got his investigation packet. The other thing is the pay. At the rock they were saying that 2 out of every 3 people called would take the job, to fill the class in it was 1 out of every 4. So words of wisdom at least be ready and guarrantee yourself the 100 on the physical.

There is no set number that will get you cut off from getting on the job. Right now they are about 2 yrs into the current list and are at number 2771. It all depends on how well everyone else does on the list. The only consistancy from year to year is that you need a 100 on the physical if you want a realistic chance at getting on. Other wise get at least an 86 and you should have a shot at getting on before the list expires.
