§ 3-240. INSPECTION OF EXAMINATIONS.

(a) During regular office hours beginning on the first working day after a noncontinuous or nonstandardized examination has been held, a participant may inspect, at the office of and in the presence of an employee under the Director, a keyed copy of the questions in the examination by making an appointment to do so. Duration of the inspection privilege will be determined by the Director on a ratio of one day to each fifteen candidates who took the written portion of the examination, but in no event shall the inspection privilege be for a period of more than five working days. Only one inspection will be allowed. During that period, plus one working day, the participant may file with the Director a written objection to any part of the test stating the item or items objected to and the reason for the objection. Protests based purely on personal opinion and without cited authority will not be considered.

(b) The Director shall consider all properly made protests before the final scoring of the examination papers. In the event the Director determines that a protest has sufficient validity to invalidate or make improper any question or answer, he shall either delete said questions or correct the answers.

(c) Any participant who has so protested and who claims the action of the Director is incomplete or erroneous may appeal his/her action pursuant to the procedure in Section 3-241. (Rep. and Added Ord. 6128, 1962, based on former Sec. 2-1624; Am. Ord. 72-20, 1972; Am. Ord. 73-116, § 9, eff. 9-2-73; Am. Ord. 96-50, § 8, eff. 8-16-96).
