Hawai`i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer

Test taking is a skill that few people are born with. Many Civil Service positions with the County of Hawai`i require that applicants take a written examination.

This article briefly lists some general test-taking tips to help you do your best when you take a written examination for a Civil Service position with the County of Hawai’i.

But first, here’s some background on the exams themselves.

Tests are given to help measure the essential knowledge, skills and abilities required to successfully do the job. As a taxpayer, you want to see these jobs filled by capable people. As a job seeker, you want to be given a fair chance to compete for jobs on an equal basis with other job seekers. The Department of Civil Service strives to satisfy those aims.

The types of tests used to select County employees will depend upon the sort of job recruited for. For example, applicants for Clerk positions take a written test measuring clerical ability. Applicants for Police Officer positions take written tests of writing skills and the ability to understand written material, in addition to a physical performance test.

Before any test is given, the Department of Civil Service analyzes the requirements of the job to determine what areas should be tested. It then decides upon the best method of testing for that particular job. For many jobs, a written examination is required.

First, review the recruitment announcement for the position you are interested in. It is the best source of information on what the test will cover. Compare your knowledge and skills with those needed to do the job. How do you measure up?

If you feel you need refresher study or practice, start right away. Go to the library or bookstores for current materials and books on the subject.

• The night before the test - Do not study for the exam. Plan some light recreation or activity. Then, get a good night’s sleep.
• The day of the test - Get up early enough so you won’t have to rush to the test. By allowing yourself a lot of time, unexpected delays won’t cause you to be late. Get to the test early, so you won’t miss any important instructions. Be sure to bring your admission letter with you. If you have a watch, be sure to bring that to the test. Your admission letter asks you to bring your own pencils. Bring two #2 lead pencils and carry positive identification (such as a driver’s license) with you. And if you wear glasses for reading, make sure you have them with you.

• Know the rules - The person in charge of the testing is called the Test Monitor. Listen very carefully when he/she reads the test instructions to the group. If you have any questions, ask the monitor before the test starts so you will not lose valuable time. Do not be afraid or embarrassed to ask questions. If you have any special problems, tell the monitor.
• Budget your time - Here’s where your watch will come in handy. Look over the entire test, and decide how much time you can spend on each section, and on each question. Don’t waste too much time wrestling with a hard question, but move on to the questions you are sure of, and come back to the tough ones later. Budget your time so you won’t have to omit or fail to answer a lot of questions.
• Read the questions carefully - Read all questions carefully. Don’t assume you know what the question asks after reading just the first few words. Read the entire question—always. Then go on to read all the possible answer choices. Your task is to pick out the best answer—and you cannot pick out the best answer until you know all the choices—so read them all.
• Look for the key words - Be certain you read every word in each question. There are often key words which can help you find the correct answer.
• Some common key words are listed below:

Be sure you don’t overlook these words because they may change the entire meaning of the question.

• Eliminating wrong choices. - If you are not sure which answer is correct, eliminate the choices you know are wrong. By narrowing down the number of choices in this manner, you increase your chances of answering the question correctly.
• Check you answer sheet often. - Before you start, check your answer sheet so you will know how the numbering system works. Ask the monitor for instructions if you don’t know how to mark the answer sheet. Check your answer sheet every few questions to be sure you are using the proper line and space to mark your answer. Be particularly careful to do this if you skip any questions.
• Do your own work. - Rely on your own knowledge and ability. Test takers caught cheating are disqualified. Besides, the person next to you may not know as much as you do!
• Check your work. - If you have time left after answering all the questions, go back and check your work. Have you answered all the questions you were supposed to answer? Is your answer sheet properly marked?

Multiple-choice questions are used for Civil Service tests. The following are samples of several types of test questions. Some of them may be easier than questions on an actual test, and some of them may be more difficult.

The purpose of this section is not to show you what to study, but to give you some practice in recognizing and answering different types of questions.

Answer these questions on your own, without looking at the answers printed at the bottom of each section. Then, check your answers. If you have any wrong answers, go back to the questions, and try to find out where you made your mistake.

Types of test questions you’ll encounter

1. General Knowledge questions – This type of question measures a person’s ability to learn and to solve problems. The three sample questions are vocabulary, mathematical reasoning and understanding written material.

1. CONCISE means most nearly

1. detailed
2. rambling
3. brief
4. incomplete

2. If it takes 7 workers two days to do a job, how many workers will be required to do the same job in half a day?

1. 17
2. 20
3. 28
4. 32

1. Sample question for clerical aptitude:

3. Achievement questions – This type of question measures how much a person already knows about a subject. It normally covers knowledge of principles and practices which are essential to job success.

The main reason for oiling machines is to

1. keep the dirt off the moving parts
2. cut down on the noise
3. cut down on the wear of moving parts
4. keep the parts waterproof

A protractor is used to

1. draw curved lines
2. lay off angles on a map
3. determine the scale of a map
4. reduce a drawing in size

ANSWERS: 1. (c), 2. (b)

The above questions are just a sample of what to expect when taking a Civil Service examination. We encourage you to apply for the many employment opportunities with the County of Hawai`i.

Construction work to widen Kuakini Highway, from Palani Road to Hualalai Road, commenced on November 8.

Kuakini Highway will be widened to four lanes for automobiles, including two through-lanes in each direction, and a pocket lane for left turns where appropriate. In addition, there will bicycle lanes on both sides throughout most of the project. The construction will last 18-24 months.

One lane will be open at all times from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. while construction is in progress. Outside of these hours, one lane in each direction will be open.

The contractor, Hawaiian Dredging, will work with the adjacent businesses and residences to assure that a reasonable access to the businesses and residences will be maintained throughout the construction period. However, motorists traveling in the area should drive with caution.

We are most grateful for the public’s patience and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The public is invited to a weekly update on the Kuakini Highway project, which will take place every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. at the Kona Mayor’s Office conference room at Hanama Place. Light refreshments will be served.

The weekly Tuesday morning community information meeting on Kuakini Highway was held Nov. 23 at 7:30 a.m. at the Mayor's Office in Kailua-Kona.

Discussion focused on the north and south ends of the project. Upper Ololi Road is being improved and will be opened soon. Lower Ololi Road will then be closed temporarily to allow resurfacing and cutting a less steep access to Kuakini Highway.

Kalawa Street will be paved through to Hualalai Road but the temporary access will be opened later.

Hawaiian Dredging is staging materials and equipment. Related work along the sides of Kuakini Highway is proceeding. Meanwhile, a reasonable access to adjacent businesses and residences is being provided. The work is not expected to cause significant traffic restrictions at the present time..

A large project map and a complete set of plans are available for reference at the Kona Mayor's office.

The Tuesday morning updates will continue, and information will also be available via the County website at co.hawaii.hi.us.

For more detailed information on the construction, please contact Hawaiian Dredging Contracting Co., Inc. at (808) 483-4270. You can also call Pete Hendricks, Deputy Managing Director at 329-5226.

Due to ongoing dry weather conditions and exceptionally large water consumption in the above areas; and, due to repairs to the Laupahoehoe Well for Affected Area #4, the Department of Water Supply would like to notify consumers in the Affected Areas that they are under Water Conservation. Water Conservation Notice is a voluntary action to reduce water usage by 10%.

Due to ongoing dry weather conditions and exceptionally large water consumption, the Department of Water Supply would like to remind consumers in the Affected Areas that they are under Water Conservation. Water Conservation Notice is a voluntary action to reduce water usage by 10%.

To reach the 10% reduction goal, here are a few tips:

• Wash full loads of laundry only.
• Wash full loads of dishes only.
• Serve drinking water only when requested.
• Do not let the faucet run unnecessarily.
• When bathing, use water only to wet and rinse off.
• Do not fill up the bathtub.
• Use a glass to rinse when brushing your teeth.
• Do not flush toilets unnecessarily.
• Stop lawn sprinkling.
• Stop car and boat washing.
• Stop dust control watering.
• Use drinking water wisely.

Agricultural users should irrigate only at night from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This measure reduces water loss due to evaporation and minimizes water system drain during peak demand.

Please conserve water.

For more information, please contact Dennis Lee at the Department of Water Supply at 961-8790.

Our next Keck Astronomy Lecture will be Monday, November 29th from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Keck Observatory Headquarters in Waimea. The lecture is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

Dr. Mike Mumma of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center will discuss how comets are messengers from the early solar system, containing key information from the time when the planets were forming -- and even earlier.

Dr. Mumma's research has found that far from being simple dirty snowballs, comets are collections of abundant organic ices such as natural gases, alcohol, anti-freeze, and even embalming fluid.

This mix tells us that comets delivered vast quantities of pre-biotic organic chemicals to earth, along with much of the water for oceans, during the first 500 million years of Earth's existence.

Kona Outdoor Circle is offering a full scholarship for the Master Gardener Certification Program offered by KOC, in cooperation with the University of Hawai’i.

The Julie M. Ellison Fund scholarship is for $225, which enables the recipient to complete the three series of classes offered annually. Participation in the three series of classes and passing the tests at the end of each series is required, along with volunteer hours, to complete the requirements for certification as a Master Gardener.

The scholarship fund was established in honor of Julie Ellison, who was born in the Islands. Her passion was landscape design, which she taught herself from the ground up by working at nurseries and on grounds crews.

She owned and operated her own landscape design business, The Art of Gardens, and was a two-time winner of Kona Outdoor Circle’s Beautification Awards. Sunset Magazine also featured her design work.

Following her death in 2002, the Julie M. Ellison Fund was established to provide scholarships for individuals participating in the Master Gardener Certification Program.

To be eligible for the scholarship, the applicant must be accepted into the Master Gardener Certification Program and state his or her intention to complete the certification process. Students who have already completed one or two series of classes are eligible, as well as new students in the program.

Application forms for the scholarship are available online at konaoutdoorcircle.org or at the KOC office. The application deadline is December 15, 2004.

For further information, contact Kona Outdoor Circle at 329-7286.

The public is advised that the Kealakehe Connector Road, between Kealakehe Street and Keanalehu Drive, will be opened for school bus travel beginning on Monday, December 6, 2004.

Once opened, school buses will be allowed to use this connector road on school days, during the following times.

• From 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., buses will be traveling in the mauka direction; and
• From 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., except on Wednesdays, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., buses will be traveling in the makai direction.
