What you have to take
Prepare the public source material without pretending the internal material is public
The Third Amended Notice of Examination for DCAS Exam 4519 names the source categories and sets the written examination at 75% of the final score. It does not publish an item count, duration, or per-source weighting, so RankHigh does not invent any of them.
RankHigh prepares the verified-public portion of the Exam 4519 source list: NYC Rules Title 39, Title 40 Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5, the Nunez consent judgment, and Mayor's Executive Order 16.
Internal DOC Rules and Regulations, Policy and Procedures Directives, General Orders, Operations Orders, Special Tele-Types, and court mandates beyond the Nunez consent judgment are not prepared because no complete official public source was verified. RankHigh is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by NYC DOC or DCAS.

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 — 325 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 every source category named by DCAS?
No. RankHigh prepares the verified-public portion of the Exam 4519 source list: NYC Rules Title 39, Title 40 Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5, the Nunez consent judgment, and Mayor's Executive Order 16. Internal DOC Rules and Regulations, Policy and Procedures Directives, General Orders, Operations Orders, Special Tele-Types, and court mandates beyond the Nunez consent judgment are not prepared because no complete official public source was verified.
How many questions and how much time are on the real examination?
DCAS does not publish either figure in the Exam 4519 notice. RankHigh's 40-question forms are practice designs, not claims about the live exam.
Has a person reviewed every question?
No. The bank is QA-cleared and source-verified under RankHigh's AI certification workflow, but its provable human-reviewed question count is zero.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is a single payment of $399. 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 180 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.
RankHigh is an independent preparation product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to New York City Department of Correction / DCAS Bureau of Examinations, the New York government, or any city, county or department.
