Hey guys, do you think we'll hear about the BOSS exam soon? Also, what is the BOSS exam that everyone is talking about consist of? Do I need to study for it? I got a 98 on the test but have not heard anything about my official score yet ( I know my score based on my answer choices from the exam and comparing them to the answer key). Should I have received a letter in the mail with my official score already for exam 4600?

thank you.

I think that your best bet is to get your permit and get a job as a school bus driver or any bus company that is willing to train you in the mean time. It will get you the experience you need in a large vehicle. It won't hurt and it will keep you current and fresh. I just advise you do not get too comfy in skill. Always remain humble and remember what the trainer told you when you learned how to operate the vehicle and everything will be fine. I hope this is helpful. Be safe and keep a positive mind!!!

Thanks MasterKhem. MTA trains you on the job so I'd rather wait until then. I have a good job now that I'm not complaining about but it's in the private sector and I'm tired of seing good people around me who work hard that are getting laid off all of the time.. I want to get into the MTA because I know that as long as you work hard, you will always be taken care of. I have friends who work very hard but are happy to work for the MTA because it takes care of them and good to wake up in the morning know you will have a job if you continue to work hard..

@YoungNYCSubwayFan and @mastap123  - Thanks

I will wait a little bit longer to take the permit test then. I hope we don't have a 2 year wait on this... 

Thank you @DeuceDrives, @mastap123, @YoungNYCSubwayFan and @busman718 about what and where to study for the permit.

I haven't received my score yet but based on the answer key and the paper they provided for us to mark the answers on, I received a 97%. I see a few different thoughts on when Exam 2600 takers might start getting called. Do you think a 97% will be on top of the list? I don't know how many people score over 95 on these exams.  Should I get my permit now or wait a little bit longer?

thanks.

Is there study material that I can buy help me pass the cdl permit test? Will the DMV study guide be enough?
