Sample question 1 of 3
Remembering Facts and Information
INCIDENT NARRATIVE — read once, then answer from memory; you will not be able to see this passage again. At 8:52 a.m., Court Officer Reyes was posted at the Main Street entrance magnetometer when a man wearing a navy blue jacket and a gray baseball cap set off the alarm. He identified himself as Walter Dobbs and stated he had a pocketknife in his jacket pocket. Officer Reyes secured the knife in property envelope PE-4471 and directed Dobbs to Courtroom 3B for a 9:15 a.m. hearing. At 9:03 a.m., a woman wearing a red raincoat approached the security desk and asked where Part 12 arraignments were being held; Officer Reyes directed her to the third floor. At 9:20 a.m., a second alarm sounded for a teenager carrying a metal water bottle, which was inspected and returned to him. At 9:41 a.m., a courier dropped off a sealed envelope addressed to Chambers 6 and left without signing the visitor log.

What you have to take
Practice the five abilities OCA publishes
The official scope names five aptitude constructs. It does not test New York law, and it does not publish an item count or weighting by area, so RankHigh does not invent either.
Reading practice includes both official formats: passage-based questions and cloze questions. Clerical Checking uses three comparison sets, and Court Record Keeping requires combining information across multiple tables.
RankHigh is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the New York State Unified Court System or OCA.
What RankHigh covers in this exam
- Remembering Facts and Information
- Reading, Understanding and Interpreting Written Material
- Applying Facts and Information to Given Situations
- Clerical Checking
- Court Record Keeping

How this preparation is built
These are the automated checks every question goes through before it can be served. They are run over the whole bank, by software, every time it changes.
- Every question is original
- Every question carries an approval record
- Every answer is explained
- Every question names the source it was written from
- The bank is measured, not just proofread
How questions are checked
- Every question is original
- Each one is written for RankHigh. Nothing is taken from a real examination, a competitor's bank or a public question set, and every new batch is checked for duplicates against every other question in the catalog.
- Every question carries an approval record
- A question that has not been through these checks is not served at all. That is what this product serves, not what has been written.
- Every answer is explained
- All of them, not the hard ones. An explanation says why the keyed answer is right and what each of the other options gets wrong, so a question you got wrong is worth more to you than one you got right.
- Every question names the source it was written from
- Every one of them cites the published provision the answer rests on — 4 different ones in all — so any answer here can be checked against the document itself rather than taken on our word. Where the published material is revised, the reference is what makes finding the affected questions a search rather than a re-read. A citation is a statement about provenance and nothing more: it says where the question came from, not that the answer is right.
- The bank is measured, not just proofread
- Answer positions, answer lengths and repeated scenarios are measured across the whole bank against chance. Where a pattern would let somebody pick the answer from its shape instead of its content, the questions are repaired — because a pattern you can learn here is one that will not be there on the day.

Questions
Does this cover all five abilities in the official scope?
Yes. It covers Remembering Facts and Information; both reading formats; Applying Facts and Information to Given Situations; three-set Clerical Checking; and multi-table Court Record Keeping.
How many questions are on the real examination?
OCA does not publish the total item count or a weighting by area. RankHigh therefore presents coverage by the five official constructs, not by an invented percentage.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is a single payment of $49. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel, and no card kept on file for later.
How long do I have access?
Your access opens online as soon as payment clears — there is nothing to wait for in the post. Your one-time purchase includes 90 days of access from the time payment clears. No subscription. No automatic renewal. One payment, nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Does RankHigh guarantee a passing score?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. What this does is show you which areas are costing you points and give you focused practice on them. The work is still yours to do.
