Candidates are not permitted to take the same written examination within six months of the date that they
last took the examination. Candidates who have taken an examination within the last six months will have their
scores transferred from the last recruitment to the current recruitment(s) they have applied for. MSS will
notify all candidates whose scores are being transferred.
Candidates who receive notification of being scheduled for an MSS examination did not have their scores
transferred, and therefore, must take the exam in order to continue in the recruitment process. If you have
any questions regarding this policy, please call MSS at (916) 263-3614.
