EVALUATION PROCEDURES

Written Tests: To obtain a job in certain fields, such as criminal justice and secretarial, you must pass a written and/or performance test. The tests are offered on the following basis. Proper identification with your picture and signature, such as a driver’s license, is required for admission to all examinations.

Scheduled or Reserved Seating Examinations: Written tests are offered on certain Saturdays in selected cities. If you request a scheduled examination and your application is approved, you will receive an admission slip by mail for the next available test session showing the address of the testing center you have chosen and the date and time of your appointment. This may take a month or longer due to limited seating.

Select ONE city where you wish to take a written test on Saturday:

Albany [U]	Augusta - [S]	Columbus - [Y]	Gainesville - [F]
Macon- [M]	Statesboro - [H]	Valdosta - [L]

Retest Policy: Your score will normally remain on the list of available applicants for six months from the date of your examination (and, in many cases, you may also extend your score for an additional six months). Generally, you can apply to be evaluated or to take a written test for the same job only three times in one year, with a minimum 30 day waiting period between examinations. Upon re-examination, the higher of your scores will generally be kept. The lower score will not be accessible to employing agencies.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR APPLICANTS WITH DISABILITIES

For Scheduled testing purposes only, do you require special examination accommodations because of a disability? If so, attach a note to this application asking us to call. PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS ARE NECESSARY. Note that in order to receive accommodations for testing, you must (1) at least one (1) day PRIOR to the test; (2) have the accommodation authorized BEFORE being tested; and (3) provide documentation to show the need for the accommodation (if requested). If you have questions about the examination procedure for applicants with disabilities, you may call the Georgia Relay Service at 7-1-1.

Training and Experience Ratings: If you apply for a job that does not require a written test, your evaluation will be based on the experience, education, and training

you describe on your application. You will also be evaluated on any supplemental information you may be asked to provide.

VETERAN’S PREFERENCE: The laws of the State of Georgia require that points be added to passing examination scores for certain veterans and combat troops of the Armed Forces of the United States. The following types of preference are currently granted. If you want to apply for Veteran’s Preference, check the type below and attach copies of the appropriate document(s) to your application. Copies cannot be returned. (SPB 16.102)

Misconceptions

Understanding the State of Georgia Application MS27-1 can be challenging, especially with various misconceptions floating around. Here are nine common misunderstandings about this application form:

It’s only for state government jobs. Many believe that the MS27-1 form is limited to state jobs. In reality, it can also apply to various local government positions that require similar qualifications.
Only citizens can apply. While U.S. citizenship is a requirement for many positions, authorized aliens can also apply for certain jobs, as long as they can provide proof of their work authorization.
Felony convictions disqualify you from all jobs. Not all positions are affected by felony convictions. Some roles may have specific restrictions, but others may still be open to applicants with a criminal record.
You must submit a paper application. While paper submissions are accepted, using the online portal at Careers.ga.gov is encouraged and often preferred for efficiency and ease.
Work history must be extensive. Applicants often think they need years of experience. However, even volunteer work or internships can count towards relevant experience.
All sections must be filled out. Some sections are optional, such as the equal employment opportunity information. Applicants should focus on providing complete information where it is required.
Education details are not important. The application requires specific educational information, including degrees and fields of study. This information is crucial for many positions.
You can’t submit a resume. While the application asks for detailed work history, applicants are encouraged to submit a resume as a supplementary document if it provides additional context.
Accommodations for disabilities are not available. The application process includes provisions for applicants needing special accommodations during testing. It’s important to request these accommodations in advance.

By clarifying these misconceptions, potential applicants can approach the application process with greater confidence and understanding.
