Substitute Clerical

Testing

New applicants must first pass the entry level test, 34, before advancing to higher test levels.

Clerical testing is held the first and third Thursday of each month 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. sessions (subject to change). An appointment for testing must be confirmed to insure openings are available for testing sessions.

All clerical positions within the Rockford Public Schools are assigned a position level code ranging between 33 and 39. Positions are coded based upon training and technical expertise required for the position. In order to apply for clerical vacancies posted in the Non-Certified Communicator, applicants must have passed the required clerical test assigned to each position within the last three years.

Listed below are the technical skills that will be assessed for clerical levels ranging from 34 to 36. All Levels of testing must be passed consecutively with a score of 75% or better.
