NYS civil service question

[EMT111 149]

I have a question about NYS civil service eligibility tests. I recently took the NYS DMV motor vehicle investigator trainee exam and was looking at the eligibility list still up from the last exam to see if they were hiring and how many they had hired. I found two things odd on the old list. First, it says the list they currently have posted, from 2008 is good till 2016, so does that mean that they exhausted that list so they needed a new list? Secondly, there are only two people listed as appointed on the eligibility list, and everybody else on the exam has a status of active, including the highest score on the exam. Does this mean that all these people got passed over/deferred appointment of the exam? Or is it if they have numerous people with the same score (100) they go to a lottery style drawing to see who processes next?

Thanks
