First day of orientation is September 15th then I have to report to signal training on the 17th.

I go in on Wednesday for final processing. How soon after final processing did they call you back?

Didn't you get called back in April to go for your medical?

A little more progress...they graded my practical and I received a 100%. I'm number 1 on the list!

Anybody ever take this test? Just wondering what to expect. I was given some material to study but wondering how deep they go on the electrical knowledge part of the test. I was told that there is a very low passing rate for this exam.

Looks like they're making some progress finally! I received a letter confirming that they accepted my appeal and they'll grade my practical exam! I received a 97 on my multiple choice and I know that I aced the practicle. Hopefully I'll be hearing from them soon!

I'm in Astoria Operations in the Tech Services Lab. I test equipment for the #9 crews all the time. Thanks Brownhornet78 I filed that appeal over a year ago...they're in no rush lol.

How did you make out? I never heard anything back from my appeal. I was told that I inadequately described my work experience so I had to file the appeal with a more detailed explanation of my work experience. I've been working for Con Ed in the mean time so it hasn't been on my mind until I saw your post today.

Wow, no movement on this one for anyone yet?

I just took my practical exam today. Went pretty well. It was very straight forward and pretty easy. What does everyone else think?

I haven't checked in here in a while, but it looks like nobody was called back for the practical test yet?

Haha, we're WELL past that kind of timeline. Application filed in September 2011, testing in January 2012, and test results received in July 2012. Everybody is still waiting to be called back for the practical exam. Looks like we'll have to wait some more.

What kind of timeline was your hiring process? From testing to hiring?

I also received the letter two days ago. I spoke to someone that received the letter three weeks ago! I wonder why such a delay for some? Not 100% sure but I believe they give you a few components and have you build a ciruit. Than you're required to make some measurements and possibly solve a problem within the circuit.

I don't have a phone number but can say that they still need to administer a practical exam for anybody that passed the written exam. After that they will put out a list based on the people that passed both exams. i wouldn't expect anything any time soon.
