The online job descriptions are posted in the “We’ll Notify You” link on the Personnel Department’s webpage: [www.jeffparish.net/jppd](www.jeffparish.net/jppd).  \n􀂾 You may also find test prep materials at the Jefferson Parish Library. You can check their holdings online at: [http://www.jefferson.lib.la.us/. The](http://www.jefferson.lib.la.us/. The) Personnel Department currently does not offer any study guides designed specifically for Jefferson Parish civil service tests.  \n􀂾 If you would like to request ADA accommodation for testing (i.e., you should have made a request in the job application you submitted online), you may contact the Recruitment Division of the Personnel Department at 504-364-2740. If you have questions or concerns regarding ADA accommodations for testing, contact the Recruitment Division as soon as possible (before your test date) .  \n􀂾 If you know in advance that you will not be able to make the scheduled test date and/or time indicated in the notice sent to you via mail and/or e-mail, you should call the Personnel Department at 504-364-2730, and we will try to reschedule you for the test.  \nOn the Day of the Test:  \n􀂾 Tests are given at the Yenni Building in Room 206 (i.e., unless you otherwise have made special arrangements) .  \n􀂾 Arrive to your scheduled test on-time.  \n􀂾 If you arrive after the scheduled time, the Personnel Department cannot guarantee that you will be admitted to the test late or that you will be rescheduled for a later date.  \n􀂾 If you are running late or you find out that you cannot make it to the test on the day of the test, please call the Personnel Department, and we will try to reschedule you, if possible.  \nEntering the Testing Room:  \n􀂾 You are not permitted to bring any study materials or personal belongings into the testing room. Before you enter the testing room, you will be given a locker key and required to lock your personal belongings (including cell phones, pagers, radios…etc.) inside a locker.  \n􀂾 Tests are proctored by a test monitor, who will admit you to the test and provide you with all of the materials you will need during the test (e.g., test instructions and booklet, answer sheet, scratch paper, pencil…etc.) .  \n􀂾 Most tests do not allow for the use of calculators. The test monitor will provide you with a calculator if the test allows for the use of a calculator.  \nDuring the Test:  \n􀂾 While the test monitor will do his/her best to assist you during testing, he/she cannot interpret or explain test questions to you.  \n􀂾 It is always in your best interest to answer all questions on the test, without leaving any blank. You will not be penalized for wrong answers. Your score is based on the total number of correct responses.  \n􀂾 If you need more scratch paper during the test, bring your used scratch paper to the test monitor, and he/she will provide you with more scratch paper.  \n􀂾 If you need a new pencil during the test, the test monitor will have extras for you at the front of the room.  \n􀂾 Please do not do things during the test to distract the other people in the room.  \n􀁸 Try not to fidget in your desk or make distracting noises during the test.  \n􀁸 If the test monitor thinks you are causing a distraction for other test-takers, he/she may ask you to leave, and your test will not be scored.  \nAfter the Test:  \n􀂾 You are not allowed to bring any test materials out of the test room, and this includes your scratch paper.  \n􀂾 Your test will be scored and processed within the application system, and you will be notified by e-mail as soon as this process is completed. If you did not provide an e-mail on your application, you will be notified in a m","cbCaimgCAxvOXMpv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimgCAxvOXMpv","pdf",188884,"English","# Before the Test Date\n## Review job classification and online postings\n## Find available test prep and library resources\n## Request ADA accommodations\n## Reschedule if unable to attend\n# On the Day of the Test\n## Test location and arrival requirements\n## Late arrival and day-of rescheduling\n# Entering the Testing Room\n## Prohibited items and locker procedure\n## Test monitoring and provided materials\n## Calculator policy\n# During the Test\n## Proctor assistance limits\n## Answering all questions and scoring\n## Scratch paper and pencil requests\n## Maintaining testing room conduct\n# After the Test\n## No removal of materials\n## Scoring timeline and notifications\n## Accuracy-based score and eligibility list outcomes\n## Retake rules and ranking factors","[{\"question\":\"What should candidates do before the test date to prepare properly?\",\"answer\":\"Review the online job description for the classification being applied for to understand the work and the knowledge and skills tested.
