[IPAC-List] Does the day you take an oral exam matter?

Kinda makes you wonder, though, doesn't it.  Are the folks who suspect unfair advantage IN SPITE of abundant evidence to the contrary the sort that you want in law enforcement and public safety?

That's not unique to law enforcement, though.  Somewhere out there, I imagine, are people applying for positions as ombudsman or some other similar advocacy role who also suspect other candidates of having an unfair advantage for lord knows what reason.   Or people applying for positions that require quiet diplomacy and raise an adversarial stink about every little administrative detail during assessment.

Sometimes, it's not how well you do on the test, but rather how you take it, that indicates whether you're suitable for the job or not. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
