Seems that will be the case once the test is redesigned. Or at least considered based on that. Hiring the best scoring isn't always the recipe for getting the best candidate. Interviews and other aptitude should all be considered.
You sir are an idiot and part of the problem.

I can dumb down and lower the scoring requirements for a lot less than $1.2 million. Hell, I’d be happy to save the tax payers 90% right now!

I could do this for 200 bucks. Just simply take the old exam, use the same questions, and make them yes or no

Yeah, hard to believe you would want your test designed to hire the most qualified candidates.

Question #1: What do you do if the roof is on fire?
Answer: We don't need no water let the mother fricker burn!
Congratulations! You are now a fireman!

It will go something like this..
Question 1- Write your name
Question 2- What’s your race?
Congratulations, you passed.

Classic government efficiency right here. Pay a consulting firm $1.2 million to re-engineer an entrance test just to hit pre-determined demographic quotas instead of, you know, finding out who is actually best qualified to pull someone out of a burning building.
At the very least they could spend that money training/designing better training programs to help these demographics.
Something that would lift them UP instead of bringing standards DOWN

Everyone has convinced themselves the test is fine and no one, including myself, has ever seen the test.

Yet you are convinced changing it per the report/tweet will start to bring in the best candidates unlike the previous exam which you admit you also have not seen.

I'll have to check, but I believe I said they will still hire the best candidates as they are currently doing.
Not sure the current test is sufficient. The people who know the test seem to think it isn't. Sure the test has been altered many times in the past in an effort to make it better.
