  1. hello, took this test a few years ago, was called in for pre-employment, rejected at the time would like to reinstate my name went to 180 Livingston to reinstate my name, was told to email some place, its been a week and still no response awhile back i was able to look up my name on: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Civil-Service-List-Active-/vx8i-nprf/data#SaveAs however, now my name or even the test 8604 does not appear to show up i seem to remember that it was extended into 2023 is there anyone else i can call to figure out if list is still active and if my name is on it? anyone have a number for DCAS? thank you!
  2. Its general safety in a work environment. I dont feel there is anything to study. Cant give out precise questions.. imagine a picture shows a worker running with tools in hand, you'll say that it is unsafe for the worker to run. Etc.
  3. You will not get results right away. Have to wait for a pre-employment letter, usually just a few weeks after. However you should be able to get a feel for how well you do. Just take your time, listen carefully. It's not a big deal at all.
  4. I will copy/paste my comment from the 8611 thread: It's very simple. Instructor shows you 10 pictures and wants you to answer a safety related question about the scenario in each picture. My one tip is to make sure to give only one answer, dont get nervous and start listing 2+ possible answers.. decide on a single most important fact and put it in a complete sentence. Whole thing is over in 5-10 min.
  5. Humble brag.. my supervisor told me I'll be going to Livingston next week to sign paperwork for permanent status. It has been an interesting year.
  6. if you have a HS/GED then its 3 years of experience instead of 4
  7. They do ask for a HS diploma or a GED on the paperwork, though i don't remember them asking to see the actual document. In any case, i don't think you would want this to hang over your head. Try to get your GED asap.
  8. Received a pre-employment letter to come in for exam 7609 for a "probable permanent position" on Jan 7th. Keep in mind, I was hired from this exam for a provisional position a year ago. So that's for Santa got me for New Years... not a bad present at all.

  10. I like Signals, not sure I'd qualify for light or power anyway so I'm staying here, hopefully that permanent status is around the corner so I can do a year and go to signal maintainer school...
  11. my test was at 4:30pm hehe thanks.. though you have to admit, it wasnt a hard test .. still, that clock forces you to move fast and i think thats why most people make mistakes
  12. looks like im at 95%, with 2 out of 40 wrong. already working as a provisional electrical helper (signals) and hoping that passing this multiple choice test will secure a permanent status as soon as possible is anyone going for mondays protest session?
  13. For people who just took the 8611 transit electrical helper, I'd like to compare results with someone.. Sharing just the answers shouldn't be an issue... mods, please correct me if I'm wrong I compared with a friend from the same classroom and 2 of our questions disagree First 3 are C, A, C ... last 3 are A, D, A. If someone has the same version, please msg me..
  14. the way I understand it, once you're on the list, you can decline the position and reinstate yourself later (takes 1-2 month) as long as the list is still active, which tends to be 4+ years. also you won't lose your list number / seniority, however you'll be behind people who already started.. I think. so it's good to know i have an option going forward.
