I only proctor tests. I suggest you call the Suffolk County Civil Service Dept. to answer your question.
A list can be established for a minimum of one year and a maximum of four. Once you accept an appointment your name comes off the list. While the test was given it, there may not be many vacancies. Also, districts are given the ability to select a residency list or a county wide list. These can impact your chances of getting canvassed.
The list is out for 3 years. Was the tests open competitive. Or Promotional
