Do not be in a hurry. I took the test almost a year ago, did not place high enough to be in the first wave. I interviewed with the dept in January. Did back-groud interview, polygraph test, sent a long list of documents to the firm doing the background check. Talked to the person doing my back-ground check, provided a bit more information. My friends, co-workers, boss, family have also now been interviewed either in person or on the phone. The next step would now be a phychological exam, then a medical exam. Then a pre-hire interview. Quite a process. Keep good thoughts!

Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, It can be a pretty long process from what I am slowly learning. Nothing worth having is ever easy though right ?? Thanks everyone !!!
