The test will be a performance test that will require you to use a conventional personal computer (PC) with a standard keyboard to perform various clerical tasks using simulated databases. The databases will be of a generic variety; you do not need any present knowledge of these databases in order to do well on the test. When you begin the testing program you will receive graphic on-screen instructions that tell you how to use the databases and how to take the test. The test will consist of three parts. In part one, you will be required to add, delete and update various records in a database. In part two, you will be required to look up records in a database and write down selected information from the records onto printed forms. In part three, the computer will present questions about the information that you wrote down in part two. You will enter your answers directly into the PC. Your rating on this test will be based on the amount of data entered and on the accuracy of those entries. NOTE: You will be notified of your scheduled test date at least 10 days prior to the test date via letter. The test will be held at Orange County Department of Human Resources, 255 Main Street, Goshen, NY 10924. Seniority points of 0.2 will be added to an eligible’ s score for each year of continuous permanent competitive class service up to a maximum of twenty years. Langdon C.
