NYC Police Communications Technician Exam
Practice Tests

You get free study guides that explain Exam 7307, the requirements, the seven abilities and how your list number works, all written from official NYC sources, plus a free 30-question practice article with every answer explained. You also get one free 15-question practice test that mixes all seven abilities, with your score, an ability-by-ability breakdown and every answer explained. Full access adds unlimited 40-question practice sets, tests on one ability at a time, targeted drills on your weakest abilities and a readiness score.

That is not published. The official notice lists the seven abilities the test may cover, but it gives no question count, no time limit and no weight for each ability. Our practice sets are 40 questions, our own length, with questions spread evenly across the seven abilities. That spread is our choice, not the City's weighting.

Filing for Exam 7307 ran from September 2, 2026, to October 13, 2026, and is now closed. Testing is expected to begin on Monday, November 16, 2026. The 7307 fee was $68, and it could be waived for New York City high school students, first-time test takers, veterans, unemployed people and people receiving public assistance or SSI. The DCAS schedule plans the next exam, 7308, with filing from December 2 to 22, 2026, and two more in March and June 2027 (7309 and 7310). Each has its own notice with its own dates and fee, so check it when it posts.

You need at least 70% to pass. Passing places you on the eligible list in final score order with a list number. Eligible veterans can get 5 extra points (10 for disabled veterans), added only to a passing score and only if claimed before the list is established.

Because the list is ranked by score, and the list sets the order in which candidates are considered for hiring. A higher score means a lower list number and an earlier call. No official source says what score is high enough to be hired, so the goal is simply the best score you can get.

No. The notice says calculators are not permitted on this exam. None of the seven abilities is a math ability. Phones, smartwatches and other devices are sealed in a pouch until the exam is over.

Your Admission Notice appears on your OASys Dashboard 14 days before testing is expected to begin. Bring one valid ID with your photo and signature, with a name that matches your application. You are fingerprinted at the site, and if you leave before you finish, you cannot come back in. You get immediate, tentative results at the end of the test.

When your list number is reached, you go through an investigation (with a $75 fingerprint fee), medical and psychological exams and a drug screening. New Police Communications Technicians serve an 18-month probation that includes a 911 call-taker training course and a radio dispatcher training course. The notice says that failing these courses leads to termination.

You need a four-year high school diploma or its equivalent plus one of these: 1 year of full-time clerical, typing or secretarial work; 1 year of full-time work dealing with the public, including getting information from people; 30 college credits; or 2 years of active US military duty with an honorable discharge. An equivalent combination also counts. For Exam 7307, the experience must be met by October 13, 2026, and the education by October 13, 2027. City residency is not required, and the notice states no age limit.

No. DCAS publishes no sample questions for this exam. All our questions are original practice content written from the official ability definitions, in 911 call-taking and radio dispatch settings. Memory questions hide the study material before you answer.
