Examination
|
|
Applicants are required to pass an examination testing their knowledge of the relevant
provisions of the Act and the most recent developments in Agency and
court decisions affecting titles II and XVI of the Act. The examination
is a 40- to 50- question, multiple choice examination. Examination details are as
follows:
- We anticipate that the examination will be administered by
CPS Human Resource Services and will be given only once, on a weekday, in
association with each application period;
- During the examination, test-takers will have open-book
access to certain reference materials that we will supply (see below
for details);
- The examination will be based upon situations that arise
from the subject areas contained in the reference materials; and
- Applicants will not be permitted to remove the examination
instrument or reference materials from the examination center.
Open-book reference materials:
CPS will provide one copy of the 20 C.F.R., Chapter III (Parts 400-499) to each person taking the examination. In addition, though not required for the examination, CPS will provide two copies of the Compilation of Social Security Laws, Volume 1 at each test location.
We may
provide additional materials; if so, we will provide details about the
materials on the CPS Human Resource Services Web site. Applicants will not be
permitted to bring any other items (including reference materials) to
the examination center.
An applicant who fails to achieve a passing score may re-apply to
participate in the demonstration project during a subsequent
application period, however, they will be required to pay the application
fee again.
