EVALUATION PROCEDURES
Written Tests: To obtain a job in certain fields, such as criminal justice and secretarial, you must pass a written and/or performance test. The tests are offered on the
following basis. Proper identification with your picture and signature, such as a driver’s license, is required for admission to all examinations.
Walk-in Examinations: Tests are offered on selected days in Atlanta only on a walk-in basis. If you wish to test in Atlanta, apply online or bring a completed
application with you. Some testing outside of Atlanta is also done on a walk-in basis. The “Walk-In Testing Schedule” is available on our Web site at thejobsite.org.
You may also call (404) 656-2724 and request a copy of this schedule.
Scheduled or Reserved Seating Examinations: Written tests are offered on certain Saturdays in selected cities. If you request a scheduled examination and
your application is approved, you will receive an admission slip by mail for the next available test session showing the address of the testing center you have chosen
and the date and time of your appointment. This may take a month or longer due to limited seating.
Select ONE city where you wish to take a written test on Saturday:
Americus - [Y] Augusta - [S] Gainesville[F] Milledgeville - [M]
Rome - [E] Savannah - [H] Thomasville - [U] Waycross - [L]
Retest Policy: Your score will normally remain on the list of available applicants for six months from the date of your examination (and, in many cases, you may also
extend your score for an additional six months). Generally, you can apply to be evaluated or to take a written test for the same job only three times in one year, with a
minimum 30 day waiting period between examinations. Upon re-examination, the higher of your scores will generally be kept. The lower score will not be accessible to
employing agencies.
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR APPLICANTS WITH DISABILITIES
For Merit System Walk in or Scheduled testing purposes only, do you require special examination accommodations because of a
disability?
If so, attach a note to this application asking us to call. PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS ARE NECESSARY. Note that in
order to receive accommodations for testing, you must (1) tell the Merit System you need an examination accommodation at least one
(1) day PRIOR to the test; (2) have the accommodation authorized BEFORE being tested; and (3) provide documentation to show the
need for the accommodation (if requested by the Merit System). If you have questions about the examination procedure for applicants
with disabilities, you may call the Georgia Merit System at (404) 656-2728 (TTY available) or the Georgia Relay Service at 7-1-1.
Training and Experience Ratings
:
If you apply for a job that does not require a written test, your evaluation will be based on the experience, education, and
training you describe on your application. You will also be evaluated on any supplemental information you may be asked to provide.
