Supplemental questions
Non-civil service positions will have supplemental questions. These are often a series of multiple-choice questions about work experience relevant to the position. No score is provided for non-civil service positions. Answers are only used to determine skills, qualifications, and experience.
Each job posting that requires supplemental questions will have a series of questions based specifically on the job duties of that position. The score is only valid for that individual posting and not similar job titles.
