What is on
the NYC Bridge Exam?

The short answer

Six sections, and it is the only exam in the line that names Attention to Detail and Time Management as abilities in their own right.

Our practice exam runs 108 questions in 138 minutes, in the order below.

What makes this title different

One sitting puts you on seven lists, which is what makes it worth sitting even if no single title is your first choice.

One sitting, seven lists. It is worth sitting even when no single title on it is the job you actually want.

What each section is asking for

Attention to Detail is catching the one figure that does not match across two documents. Information Ordering is putting steps into the order a procedure requires. Number Facility is plain arithmetic, quickly. Time Management is deciding what gets done first when everything is due. Written Comprehension is reading a rule or an order and saying what it does and does not cover. Written Expression is writing it down so the next person reads it the way you meant it.

None of it is a knowledge test. You do not need to arrive knowing any one title's procedures, because the exam sits under several of them. Everything the question needs is on the page. What is being measured is whether you can use it with the clock running.

What the City publishes, and what is ours

DCAS names 6 abilities for this title. What the notice does not give is a question count or a time limit, for this title or any other. Nobody outside the City has those two numbers, so a site quoting them is quoting a guess.

The 6 sections above are the City's. The 108 questions and the 138 minutes are ours. We picked them so the practice sitting feels like the real thing, and we would rather tell you that than let you assume the City set them.
