Advancements fill vacancies. Advancements, especially in the higher paygrades, can seem very
slow. You must remember that when there are few or no vacancies, there are few or no
advancements. It is a vacancy driven system; advancement cut off scores are different from
cycle to cycle

Deleted questions do not enhance or detract from anyone's advancement opportunity. Raw to
standard score conversions are based on the raw scores of the peer group, so everyone is
treated equally.
