Any applicant who improperly obtains access to any written examination materials shall be disqualified from competition for positions in the classified service. An applicant already employed by the State of Vermont who improperly obtains access to any written examination materials may be immediately separated from State service and disqualified from competition for positions in the classified service. If an individual has had access to written examination materials because of participation in the creation or administration of the exam and subsequently applies for a class covered by the exam, the exam will be waived. Applicants will be scheduled for the next available test date if the position is still under recruitment. The hiring process is not delayed for reschedules.
Previous scores become invalid when the exam is retaken, even if the previous score was higher.
Such applicants may take an examination no more than twice in any six month period. There is no limit to the number of times these tests may be taken. The Department of Personnel will provide to applicants a breakdown of their written exam scores upon request. This breakdown will include the number of questions in each subject area and the applicant's score. Scores based on RTE's are mailed to applicants.
