Proposed Key Answers for civil service exams are released approximately 5 weeks after the date of the written test. The release date is printed on the "Candidate's Record of Answers", which is distributed to each candidate at the test site. A Protest Review Session will generally be scheduled during the week that the key answers are released. Proposed Key Answers may also be obtained at the Manhattan Application Center, 2 Lafayette St., 17th floor, Manhattan (M-Sat, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., except holidays). Copies are supplied at no charge, while supplies last. Older key answers may be viewed at the Application Unit at 1 Centre Street, Room 1448, Manhattan (M-F, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.). The final examination keys are published when the eligible list is established, and will be posted on this site. Candidates will be notified of their exam results by mail.

Proposed and Final Keys are posted in PDF format.
