Thanks how far along are you? Open a sash window 2x Open a weighted door 2x 3 laps climbing onto and off of a elevated platform using the attached stanchions and ladder. They're @ or close to the exact height of an actual engine 2x Unscrew by hand 16 nuts, bolts, and washers from one area and screw them into another while on elevated platform 8 laps on this walkway designed to resemble walking along the tracks. It's purposely uneven, has raised areas, and includes a third rail. And every 3rd lap with final one you have to sidestep off and back onto walkway before finishing lap.

I've done interview, attention test, and did the drug test/ physical/ "obstacle course" Unless something impossible occurs next time I contacted should be a job offer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone else get an email for pre placement medical? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You hear back anything since your interview? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks boogie. Just an update took the attention test yesterday. It was funny. Got an email to call to schedule an interview. Requested Monday hope they have something then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats to everyone so far. I stumbled across the email for the attention test while deleting old emails. Immediately Called the number and they were kind enough to reschedule me for next week. Tho she did mention they are calling in a specific order. Dont know if it meant with the test or the entire process so take that with a grain of salt. Best of luck guys Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

Congrats to you both. Haven't received a call for that. Hope that doesn't mean I'm out. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

No still waiting for them to arrive. I called as well I don't think they got what u was asking. Still unsure if consider is good, or means I'm in limbo. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Decided to check the background check status says completed. Status: consider. Sane for everyone esle? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Indeed. After I sent off my paper work to IRS yesterday. I just got an email asking for another w2. Lol Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

My background is getting delayed by like a week now. Agency said they needed tax info from almost a decade ago. Shot over to the IRS website but it keeps claiming it can't verify I am who I say I am. WTF?! So now I have to do it thru the mail. From 20 minute to 5 plus business days. ???? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Sorry to see that man. From our PMs I know you to be a real cool dude. And I know the moves your trying to make on your end so I wish you much luck in those endeavors. Filing for subway TO in December keep an eye out. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

After checking I have received the same. Thanks for the heads up. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

100 percent agree. Why add that needless stress to your commute? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

@JV620 It's a real pity you didn't come out. While I felt comfortable with my verbatim I didn't have it on lock and just hoped it'd be like the LIRR where as long as you clearly showed you understood the word or got your signals they'd give leeway. Never expected multiple choice. If you take RTO train operator and get called. I would recommend moving closer not necessarily into the city tho. If you end up on the number lines most of your reporting will be upper Manhattan or Bronx. Letter lines can be any Boro and you rarely ever finish where u start. What up Saniter?! also good to put a face to a name. @everyone else. I started off section 1 with a smile on my face thinking "what a joke!" By the end of that section I was praying plz don't test us on stuff like this anymore I'm gonna fail. Two helicopters on the moon? Seriously?! Lol. I didn't even finish lol. Section 2 I flew thru it that was great that they made it that way. Section 3 is the 1st time in my life that reading comprehension actually gave me such trouble there were more questions than I thought could be the right answer. And the personality test? I'm intelligently honest. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

I have the complete reverse. Im far stronger and confident with definitions than signals (some just wont stick). I assure you you are not the only person ive spoken with whose studying isn't flowing as smooth as you would like and as such is wondering if they should even bother making the trip. To you and everyone else reading this coming for the test. The night before if you feel you honestly gave it your best to study this material yet your still unsure. Remember that old saying its best to try and fail than to not try at all. To me "bad study habits" is one of two things. (1 proper study time wasn't invested(which obviously isnt your case). Or (2 time was invested, a person still failed the same material at least twice yet didn't change their study method or did 1. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Welcome! Good to have another member. I know how you feel in regards to the email. Not only did i not expect it. I wouldnt have known about it if not for someone here mentioning they got one. And even then i didnt see it so i assumed i wasn't selected till i stumbled across it almost a week later while cleaning out inbox. Now as for your question based on what I've read in our lirr counterparts thread. It's seems like it'd be best for all of us to assume the test will be free hand verbatim on everything they sent us. Truckie tho is a cool MN employee who visits when they have a chance so next time they do. We will all get a definitive answer Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

I think his was a typo. My book has 50 definitions and 12 signals Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Just recieved my practice material. Happy studying folks and good luck Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. After reading thru the conductors forums. It seems months can past between each step. Is that the norm? When i got hired for BO it was initial test, got called following year but when they started hiring process it was about 2 months then training began. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

No it wont. Im able to still pull up the MNRR info. Nowhere in there does it mention any part (thats considered us being in training) having you study on your time uncompensated. Plus i asked that same q to a MN employee and they said thats a LI thing however that was since the last time MN posted which was sometime last year Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Thanks for the answer

How does the phase 1 work. I get its on my time, just trying to get a better understanding. Your given study material and come in when you can at least once a week to be tested on it? Does that sum it up or is there more to it?

Say that then I did during training. "11 3 under 10 10. But I know its safe bcuz I observe other NYCT buses using the road." In that situation tho I dont think the 10 10 is the overall height but the height at the lowest points of the arch. Also that isn't that a big a deal compared to the turn you need to do to get onto that street if entering from the west side of the park.

Don't know if this has been already posted but there are two more express headed for SI, one is the X20 so far its suppose to go from sand lane and hylan into the city that was presented to SI rep. The other got the go ahead. So they are making the times and etc now dunno when it goes into effect but it will add a Super Express to the X1 cutting the current amount of stops on the SI end from 44 to 14. Union still not sure if they want to send some or all to 23rd or all to CPS
