Only 21 percent of the lieutenants eligible to take the captains test did so last year, down from 66 percent in 1997, according to internal NYPD figures. The results of the 2013 exams haven’t been released, but only 19 percent of lieutenants scored a passing grade of 70 or higher on the test in 2012, the data show. That year, only 19 percent of eligible lieutenants took the captains exam. That dismal performance was the worst in 15 years. Lieutenants, who previously passed the sergeants and lieutenants exams, have complained that the latest two tests were full of irrelevant questions, making it difficult to pass, a source said. But it’s not only the rigorous test that’s keeping New York’s Finest from climbing the ladder.
