i got a 100 on the test and i got hired on the same day for the same place as someone who took the test with me on the same day who got a 73…passing is passing now…

I am working on joining the aviation side of the border patrol. It is a totally different hiring process. I apply with all my credentials, then if they like me, I have to fly myself out of Oaklahoma city for a flight test. Then if they still like me I’m in. If they hate me, I’m ass out of an expensive airline ticket. To top it off, its a 9 month hiring process.

since when do you get hired on the spot after taking the exam? It takes a few weeks to get your score back not to mention you have to pass the background check.

Not with the compressed test. You are “tentatively selected” when you pass the test.
