Title 4 Part 66

[Additional statutory authority: Civil Service Law, § 7] Subjects of examination, the relative weights assigned thereto and the scale of points for creditable seniority and for performance ratings shall be stated in the announcement of examination; provided, however, that after such announcement is made, the written examination may be subdivided into subjects or parts and minimum standards may be fixed for one or more of such subdivisions in order that the candidates may be considered further for eligibility. Notice of such an arrangement shall be given in the instructions on the question papers of the written examination.

[Statutory authority: Civil Service Law, § 7] No candidate shall be passed in an examination or have his name entered upon an eligible list who fails to attain a passing mark in the examination as a whole, or who fails to meet minimum standards prescribed for any subject or parts of subjects of the examination; provided, however, that a candidate whose performance rating is unsatisfactory may be passed in a promotion examination if he meets minimum standards and receives a passing mark in all other subjects and parts of subjects of the examination.

[Statutory authority: Civil Service Law, § 7] A test, stated in the announcement to be planned part of an examination, may nevertheless be waived and the eligible list established on the basis of scores in the other announced competitively rated part or parts of the examination when the number of candidates successful in the preceding part or parts of the examination does not exceed by more than two the number of vacancies to be filled from such eligible list which exist at the time of the establishment of the eligible list.
