How Do You Get Your Results?

For all of our civil service exams, we will provide you with immediate, tentative results at the end of your test.

Once scores are official, we post the list of all candidates who pass, ranked in order of score. Finally, we email your official results, when the results list is established.

Checking the Status of Your Exam

You can call 212-669-1357, log into your account online in the Online Application System, or visit our open data portal to check the status of an exam or list. Scores remain active for up to four years.

What if You Disagree With Your Results?

For all multiple-choice tests, you have the opportunity to challenge the exam answer key during a protest review session and appeal the score for any of the tests that make up the exam. You can find more information about the protest review session and the process in our protest procedures.

For more information on the appeal process, you can download a checklist of steps to appeal your score through the Online Application System.
