Cuomo Jerry Boone  \nGovernor Commissioner  \nINTRODUCTION   \nThe New York State Department of Civil Service has developed this test guide to familiarize you with the written test for the Entry-Level Correction Officer Series. This test guide provides a general description of the subject areas which will be tested and the different types of questions you may see on the test. The Examination Announcement will specify the exact subject areas to be included on the particular examination you will be taking.  \nThe written test for the Entry-Level Correction Officer Series has an overall time allowance of 2 1/2 hours. The test questions will cover the following four subject areas:  \n1. OBSERVING AND RECALLING FACTS AND INFORMATION: These questions test for the ability to observe and recall information presented. You will be presented with information describing or depicting prison scenes or other facts. You will have a short time to observe and memorize the material before it is collected by the monitor. You will then be presented with questions which require you to recall specific details about the material.  \n2. APPLYING WRITTEN INFORMATION IN A CORRECTIONAL SERVICES SETTING: These questions test for the ability to read, interpret, and apply regulations, directives, written narratives, and other related material, in a correctional services setting. You will be required to read a set of information, and to appropriately apply the information to situations similar to those typically experienced in a correctional services setting. All the information needed to answer the questions asked concerning the situations presented is contained in the rules, regulations, etc. , which are cited.  \n3. PREPARING WRITTEN MATERIAL: These questions test for the ability to present information clearly and accurately and for the ability to organize paragraphs logically and comprehensibly. For some questions, you will be given information in two or three sentences, followed by four restatements of the information. You must then choose the best version. For other questions, you will be given paragraphs with their sentences out of order. You must then choose, from among four suggestions, the best order for the sentences.  \n4. UNDERSTANDING AND INTERPRETING WRITTEN MATERIAL: These questions test for the ability to comprehend written material. You will be provided with brief reading selections and will be asked questions relating to the selections. All the information required to answer the questions will be provided in the selections. You will not be required to have any special knowledge relating to the subject areas of the selections.  \nThese are the only subject areas that will be included on the written test.  \nThe remainder of this test guide explains how you will be tested in each of the subject areas listed above. A TEST TASK is provided for each subject area. This is an explanation of how a question will be presented and how to correctly answer it. Read each explanation carefully. This test guide also provides at least one SAMPLE QUESTION for each subject area. The sample question will be similar to the type of questions that will be presented on the actual test. This test guide provides the SOLUTION and correct answer to each sample question. You should study each sample question and solution in order to understand how the correct answer was determined.  \nSUBJECT AREA 1   \nOBSERVING AND RECALLING FACTS AND INFORMATION: These questions test for the ability to observe and recall facts and information, without the aid of notes.  \nTEST TASK: You will be presented with facts or photographs which describe or depict prison scenes.
