I just received my result for a state job examination that I took some time ago. I didn't give it much though because beside the actual test, some people can have career credits and veteran points added to boost up their score. I had none since my current job is neither a state job nor related to the position they are hiring and obviously I'm not a veteran. Also, only the top three will be considered. So this is a big surprise.

Career credits = 0
Veteran points = 0
Final Score = 95
Rank 1

I don't remember if there were 100 questions or not, but what the heck. This is the best new I've had, especially given my current situation. Now to wait for that interview call and let hope I don't screw up like so many times before.

Btw, if you're interested in trying for CA state jobs, here is the place for them.
