Who we are

We are an independent team building serious, honest study tools for civil-service exams. That is the whole mission: prep that respects your time, tells you the truth about what the exam is, and shows you exactly where you stand.

We started with the New York State Court Officer-Trainee exam because it is a high-stakes, ranked exam where a few points change how many years a candidate waits for the call — and because the existing options are a shelf of generic books and expensive classroom courses that cannot time your memory or grade your standing. That gap is where a well-built product actually helps.

We will not pretend to be something we are not. There are no stock-photo “instructors” on this site, no invented names, no fabricated credentials, and no purchased reviews. When we do not know something — for example, the exact number of questions on a given exam — we say so plainly and show you how we made our decision instead.

DutyRank is an independent study product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any court system or government agency. Our value comes from doing the honest work well, not from borrowing anyone else’s authority.
