One of the three e-mails I got with my score said this:
This numerical rating, plus any applicable veterans' preference points, is the final numerical rating noted on the NOR. Every applicant on the register has already exceeded an initial cut-off score because OPM identified the top qualified applicants after scoring the AR. Therefore, OPM did not employ any subsequent screen-out or passing score when establishing the new register.
I took this to mean any score on the register could be referred for potential hiring. But, then I made the mistake of re-reading the 2007 changes OPM made to the regs:
Sec. 337.101 Rating applicants.
(a) OPM shall prescribe the relative weights to be given subjects in an examination, and shall assign numerical ratings on a scale of 100. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, each applicant who meets the minimum requirements for entrance to an examination and is rated 70 or more in the examination is eligible for appointment.
How do these things interplay?
