City offering ‘bridge exam’ for multiple titles: secretary, staff analysts, bookkeepers, others

Posted 6/16/23

The city is offering what it calls a bridge exam, which is designed to offer job candidates the opportunity to take one multiple-choice test for multiple titles and have their names appear on multiple civil service lists simultaneously if they meet the minimum qualification requirements.  Applications are being accepted through July 18. Testing is scheduled to begin Sept. 18.  With this new and innovative approach, during the application period, candidates will submit one application for the New York City Bridge Exam. On the day of the multiple-choice test,  they will have the opportunity to select one or more titles to be considered for on the day of the examination. The application fee is $40.

Applicants will be given an exam consisting of two parts: A qualifying education and experience exam for each title selected and a multiple-choice test at a computer terminal. Applicants must meet the minimum qualification requirements for each title selected. A civil service list will be established for each title separately.
