They are not general tests of intelligence or ability.</p><p>In order to prepare for the exam, read the Exam Announcement carefully. The scope of the exam will provide the information needed: the form of the exam (written, oral, evaluation of training and experience, typing); the weight given to each part; and the subjects to be tested. Once you know the description of the content of the exam (or scope), use a review book or textbook written about the area to be tested. For example, if Writing Skills is part of the scope, a book which reviews grammar may be useful. Another possibility is to look at the civil service review books (e.g., CSEA or Arco series) in the library for sample questions and answers. Even if there is no review book for the exact test you are taking, there may be other reference materials which include the same topics. Rundel Library's Job Information Center is an invaluable source of information, and staff is familiar with the resources they have available. General test-taking strategies such as how to stay calm, how to study, etc., can provide useful information to help you prepare for your exam.</p></div> </div> <div class="accordion" id="accordion8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5"> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-0"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-0" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-0"> <div class="open-close"> <i class="fa-solid fa-plus"></i> <i class="fa-solid fa-minus"></i> </div> What are "Promotional" and "Open Competitive" exams? </button> </h2> <div id="collapse8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-0" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#accordion8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5"> <div class="card-body"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-provus-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span>Promotional exams are only for current City of Rochester employees who meet certain criteria. </span><a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/cityofrochester/promotionaljobs"><span>Promotional Opportunities</span></a></p><p><span>Open Competitive exams are open to anyone, either members of the public or current employees. </span><a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/cityofrochester"><span>Current Job Opportunities</span></a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-1"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-1"> <div class="open-close"> <i class="fa-solid fa-plus"></i> <i class="fa-solid fa-minus"></i> </div> What kinds of exams are there? </button> </h2> <div id="collapse8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5-1" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#accordion8e8631f3-0490-416b-810e-203dcfbe3be5"> <div class="card-body"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-provus-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The City tests for a wide range of competencies needed to do specific jobs, and the type is chosen to match the ability to be tested.
