Oh that question....i had the same one. But i went by what the reading log stated by the rules. Personal days must be approved and sick days you need a dr note to be paid.

What color is geogre washington white horse?

I heard 9 ppl failed the 10 day training off the 2613 exam. Getting a high score on the exam don't get u the job. Passing the 10 training, & the dmv road test (if u don't already have a class B license) do. The high test score only help u get called by mta quicker.

Damn. They are going to be forced to resign.

Those who trying to share what Answers they mark down, Whether what booklet you had on tht day, It will be the same Letter answer for that question through the different booklets that were handed per different admission letter color.

So in other word, Every School and Different Color Admission Letter had different test booklets. But The Questions were asked differently but the main Letter answer will be the same for all the test booklets

Example:

If Test Booklet One Question Five was E, All Question Five in the other test booklet will be E

.

Anyone who went this past Sunday to take the exam at Brooklyn Tech H.S. PM session, and would like to compare your answers you can IM me if you want to keep your answers confidential.

All the Answer will be sme letter from 1 - 60. It was 3- 4 different booklets per color of your admission , time you were schedule to attend and location. So if answer Number one was Z, Every question for number one Was Z for that specific question for number 1's.  PM if you dont understand what i mean by that

I think the best thing to do, for everyone who has no bus operating experience, is get a temporary school bus job until you get called. It will help build your school, so that when you get to , you understand the anatomy of a bus.

You are sooooooo right.

You are sooooooo right.

My dad is an bus operator for manhattan divsion, sometimes when im free i ride his bus and he would teach me a few things as he doing them like tge left and right turns. But Masterkham has a point. The more you behind the wheel the more confident you will fill controlling the bus.

Hi.....I wasn't let down, but I know what you mean. I was shocked how easy the test was. It was more reading comprehension and using common sense more than anything. I took exam 2613, that was a challenging exam, having questions about parks, traffic and highway signs, landmarks, etc. This had nothing like that. I think they intentionally made this exam easier because 34,000 people took the 2613 and only 3600 made the list, many failed the exam and BOSS.

So yes I know what you mean I was shocked how easy the exam was. I know I got at least a 95 on this exam.

Yeah I also took the Prep class twice and was studying like I was about to take a college or HS regent exam. I even did a lot of bus map schudules to figure out the miles distance and timing. But its all good, still remember at the prep class they did mention "Anything is possible" what they might put on the exam. But best believe it, the next TA exam will be harder.And you just never know how harder the hiring process will be for 4600 since the exam was too easy. I see it as "Theres always an catch at the end of everything".

Did anyone on this forum took the BOSS last month for Mabsota ?

Yes.

I agree with manwell. Just dont sweat it people. Only time will tell when they start to call people from this pool. The ball will be in your side of the court if you end up getting call and etc. You either make the shot and actually have tge job, or miss that one shot and call it the end. So lets focus on being positive and just wait it out.

The way i view it, I know the test was easy and even my self studied real hard with dmv questions, point of interest and etc. But remember easy or not the entire process to get hired will be a journey. Alone some wont pass the 7-10 day class. So lets all appreciate and see whats next

You would be surprise....all repeated questions was not answered the same.

When i use to be a mgr at circuit city, we provided the same 50- 100 selective survey questions style. And many did not pass because some of their answers we not consistance to the first few questions that were repeated 5-9 times in the entire survey selection. So you would be surprise how many people doesnt know how to answer these questions.

to be honest with you I never knew anyone that failed the BOSS.

You would be surprise....all repeated questions was not answered the same.

Not sure how long they will send you a mail if you failed the written exam. So based on people reaction this weekend regarding the exam, ill say majority who took it passed. But..........Some wont pass the the Boss exam.

From what i know based on pre exam class I took and a few TA operator. If you passed the exam you must take the "BOSS exam"to finalize your listing place. If you fail the BOSS exam you wont proceed with a list number. If you pass the boss , they will mail you where you stand as far the list goes. So regardless you got an high score on the exam, if you dont pass the boss exam your pretty much out the loop.

Even though the test was easy, but lets say 10k passed. Remember not everyone will make it based on criminal records, accidents, drugs, and many more.

Not really because I took the class, and they even said that they don't know exactly what's going to be on there, so its not really a waste fo money, its just being prepared for the worst.

I agree..I took the class twice. It wasnt a waste of time, I was actually prepared and expected anything. At least we got to know how to solve the bys headways and etc....

List 4600 might be a long list which will probably cover for the next 4 years based on what was on the test i see a lot passing.

Thats a sign of relief...im taking the exam shortly.

Thats a sign of relief...im taking the exam shortly.

Test tmrw, and so nervous. Maps, north, south, east, and west. Points of interest. Is anyone focusing on a certain area? Good luck to all!

Trying to get a few POI....Just wish it would be simple city locations, but you never know.

V010fish which exam number you took and got both high score?

Alright folks..for those who asking how long will we get our results and how fast will this move. Well right now the applicants ahead of us is 2613 which is The last TA exam that was taking Janurary 2013. Its December now and they started calling people from 2613 i believe The end of october or beginning November 2013. 4600 will not be called till 2613 has been filled in. According to the numbers that actually pass, Mta can knock out the list 2613 fast. Remember not everyone on that list will be hired for many other reason. So this weekend we will take the exam, I have a strong feeling by the end of 2014 beginning 2015, 4600 applicants who passed the exam will be the next round picks. But it all depends how quick they fill in 2613 applicants.

I thought I read that for exam 2613, out of 30,000 people that toook the exam, only 3,621 people passed.

 

In addition, I am also scheduled to take the exam on December 15th as well.

Oh..I was almost close.

Yeah theres a lot also taking the exam on sunday. Some people dont use the forum, and if you notice its usually the same people posting.....I do know last exam 2613 out of 60,000 applicants that took tge exam, only 3700 actually passed.
