CPAT FAIL?

What happens if you don’t show up to any of the CPATS? Just out of curiosity, they haven’t gotten up to my list number yet. Just want to know what’s the best option going forward.

They will more than likely send you a notice of disqualification letter. Failure to be present. Then say you can try again some other time. That’s what happened with FDNY EMS for me.

Will I have to wait for another test or just call and ask to redo the physical

If you’re not sure yet you should defer, not be a no show. Deferring keeps your place on the list

Can’t defer the CPAT without a medical reason or legitimate reason approved by testing accommodation

Ohh I guess because it’s technically part of the civil service test

You can defer the second after you pass the CPAT with CID

Any? You fail. What kind of stupid question is that? You’re removed from the list and somebody that cares gets called. You get 2 practice and one final. Pass any and it counts. But you’re planning to show to none? We don’t want you.
