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

That's good that you came across that email and get to take the next step. Congrats to you as well. I hope we all get in for the next class.

Got it. I hope I get that call soon.

I had the interview already before they gave me the results to my attention exam I guess because I am a Train Operator lol. They told me I should hear back from them very soon good luck to those who go on the next step.

Congratulations. So what can we expect if we are granted an interview? What kind of questions do they ask?

I also got the email saying that I passed, on friday. Im so excited. I hope everything falls into place so that we can make it into the march class.

Congrats!!! We're on to the next step. I thought that class didn't start until may?

Just got the email saying I passed the attention test. Looks like the next step is the interview. How did the rest of you make out?

Well good news for anyone following this post I got a call Thursday morning to go and take the next step of the hiring process I gotta take an Attention Exam next week the lady on the phone said it will take about 20 to 30 mins.

Same here. Wonder what it consists of.

The guy told me consider means that they tried to verify employment but couldn't. I was told it was ok based on the fact I provided w2s for those jobs that said consider. My background check has been done for about a week now and so has yours so if I had to guess, we're good. Although I have a feeling that we won't hear anything for a while lol

Decided to check the background check status says completed. Status: consider. Sane for everyone esle?

Yeah same for me. I called the guy who handled my background check and he said that it means they couldn't get in touch with anyone. I submitted my w2s for them so I'm good. Did you?

Indeed. After I sent off my paper work to IRS yesterday. I just got an email asking for another w2. Lol

Lmao they asked me for another one too. They completed 6 out of 12 searches so it's moving along. Not as quick as I hoped but......

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. ????

Same here. I have to send w2 from a job I had 10 years ago. Oh well. Guess we just gotta get it done.

Did anyone else get an email today? I just found out that I passed the test and they're doing a background check.

It wasn't bad. Wasn't easy but definitely not as hard as I thought it would be. Now we play the waiting game

So in about 24 hours, most of us are probably going to be sitting in our chairs - nervous wrecks about this test lol!! I know I will but I wish y'all the best tomorrow for whoever's taking this test!!!! See you then!!!

Does anybody know if they want verbatim for sure? It may only be a LIRR thing. Has anyone talked to a conductor or an engineer from MNRR?

 

My first post on the NYC Transit forum site. A lot of great information here.

 

I also received an invitation email to take a test for this next month as well. I will actually be coming from out of state (MA) to be exact to take this test. Jokingly speaking, I bet a few people might be snarling about an outsider coming in from another state that is not NY or NJ, lol. Anyhow, a solid background in coach bus driving here in the SE part of MA might be why I got an invitation since coach operators are always on the go as well. I was actually not expecting an invite TBH. I realize though that I am up against it in some ways. I would think that I have even more pressure to score say a 95 at the very least or better than that, being from out of state and what have you.

 

I called the number in the first e-mail. Then when I called to confirm and verify my attendance spot, they sent me the second e-mail with the time at the Hotel. I have my 9 page study guide which contains a lot of information in it. I have been able to take a lot of the information and put it on flash cards and it has helped. Study, study, study! =)

 

I am not sure if anyone would have the answer to this but my question is does anyone know if this test will be 'definition given and fill in the word' type of thing, or would you think that we are going to have to write out the definition to the term down to the T as it is on the study guide? I have pretty much figured that it is not going to be True/False, or multiple choice.

 

Best of luck to all!

I think we need to know the definitions verbatim but don't quote me on that. Good luck to you as well

Truckie, how long does that process take? Thanks for the info btw

Nope

I talked to a friend who is a Conductor for Metro North he said that the test he took was 70 questions and made the same suggestion that I seen everyone else say is to put the signals on flash cards and write them out repeatedly.

Do you think this test will be signals and definitions?

Yeah I think metro north is different. In the lirr thread, they were sent to an open house to take a test that they couldn't prepare for. We are being sent materials to study so that's 1 difference. I would think the training would be similar but I guess we gotta wait and see

I also received an email to take the test. Does anybody know anyone who currently works as a MN Locomotive engineer? Would like to know what to expect. Also, did anyone receive the email with the study materials yet?

congratulations! I've taaken both the 3101 and 4600. May I ask what you listed around? I listed less than 1500 for the 3101. Any rought guess as to when to expect to be called anyone? Also what does a perfect score on the 4600 expect to list around? First 500? 1000?

Thanks @BeRight. I listed in the 290s for 3101 and idk what number they are up to. You'll probably be called from 3101 before 4600 cuz they're still calling people for the other TA test 2613. Best of luck to you.

I'm not from this test but I can confirm there is no hiring freeze. I just got hired today. I'm from the 3101 test mabstoa. I also took to 2613 test. Best of luck to all

Your on the roll to next step. Keep your head up

Thanks Deuce. I took the 2613 test but they haven't reached my list number yet. Looking to get my foot in the door with OA then transfer to TA. Good luck to everyone here.

pakring tickets don't effect your license. Only moving violations & accidents they look at.

Thanks man. I have to report to livingston for medical on wednesday. Hope that's the last step. I'm from the 3101 test but I read this forum alot

Does anyone know if they will still hire me if I have pending parking tickets?
