I just need to know when will I receive a random # because the exam is next month and I have'nt heard anything

[Far Rock Depot]

well they are only notifying 200 people for the test at random. If you dont hear anything, you probably didnt get chosen. Thats why they require payment only if you get picked

Ok then, so the notice of the exam said November was the time the letter was sent, also I don't know if they postponed it because of superstorm Sandy.

Ok thanks ; but I have applied online the first day when it was open to apply.

[Woodside7878]

I also did apply on the first day.

[Far Rock Depot]

Same as me. But as stated on the page where we applied, 200 applicants will be chosen at random. And if you are chosen, a $54 money order will be needed the day of the test for the fee. Its not on on a first come first serve. Its a lottery to take the test.

Yep it's lottery exam, and it's not civil service either. But it's a good job if you can get it. And I'm sure it pays at least $24/hr @ top pay.

got my letter. # 4736.

 

Good luck to those who got #200 or less.

Dumb question, if you're a Medicaid recipient, are you exempt from paying for the exam?

Im not sure. Theres documentation somewhere that shows the qualifications of the Fee Waiver.

Ok, thanks

[WillBx718]

Ok, thanks

 It may or may not be. Usually the fee waivers pertain to civil service exams. Since this test isn't for a civil service exam I dunno. If you get selected you'd have to call them up ask those questions.

When did your letter came

[Far Rock Depot]

Saturday

[Woodside7878]

Got my letter today and i was five numbers away from the first 200

[Dave160]

I got my letter today too.  Number 5387 lmao... Oh well

Ironic though, I went to 180 Livingston today, since it's near my college, to check my list number there because I just wanted to make sure everything went through, only to get the letter later.

I just got mine #１０２０

[WillBx718]

My wife also applied for this exam and hasn't received anything as of yet. It looks like no one from these forums will be taking the exam so far.
