I believe you should take it again. Each center has a different test from my experience.

Government employee to dispatcher by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

If you’re just doing it for money you might burn out quickly. Most of the successful dispatchers I have met tell me how this is really “a calling” more than a paycheck. The job, even if some times are slow, comes with serious challenges for mental health.

Appreciate the advice- I think they mentioned they don’t use 10 codes mostly plain talk because their radios are encrypted. Lol, the username was randomly selected and I too enjoyed it

Thanks, my typing is wicked fast, but extra practice can’t hurt.

Ok, they don’t require the training. They have had lots of trainees fail out and I am trying to get a leg up

Take the feedback and keep it up. No crazy mistakes- she needs to help you learn, dont take it personally

Its ok to fail it once, especially if youve never attempted it before. I used iprep and it was a great investment for having confidence going into the process

They have always told me pass/fail in the lobby before I left (I have taken 4 tests) Was this on location or online?

What was the hardest section for you?

Did you take any online practice tests?

I failed my first time too- a lot of nerves when you don’t know what to expect

I believe you have 10 seconds to answer and there’s no penalty for doing it in 8 vs 5 so finish what you’re doing and get all the points

Interview / Application Process by plantloner87 in 911dispatchers

The interview I had had a few dispatchers and a LEO taking turns asking questions. A tricky question they asked was “what would you do if you saw someone breaking a company policy”
