NewMatt

Thanks. I did that n it turns out I did pay for the exam. So what I dont get is why I did not need to take the multiple choice for 4105. Is it because I passed 4600? Hmmmm...anyway, waiting for a reply from the exams unit.

any word from them about that?

@newmatt I have my cdl b passenger endorsement. I've also taken and passed exam 3101 and since its been within a year I'm automatically put on exam 4105 exam listI also passed the 3600 exam with a 87

so your well ahead of the game man, good for you, I just don't understand how they could put out exam 4105 when they have the whole 3101 list they still have... Would anyone have any information about this?

Is 98.33 a good score to get hired with. What %would be my list #

it's a great score but in all honesty If your serious about getting the job I would get the CDL license at this point if I was you

@Matt, nope. I only applied for 4600. I get pay for 3101, but was not able to make it that day to take the test. I really want to get on Staten Island down the road anyway, and if I recall correctly, exam 3101 was only for Bronx & Manhattan.

Yeah that is true but look at it as a stepping stone... At that point just to get your foot in the door and start putting the time in and then when the TA would have called you that you would just transfer over... Don't get me wrong you still have to do the whole process again with the TA but you would already have time vested with the Mta that you could of carried over... I see you passed your CDL road test as you said on the forum, congratulations... Do you know how many questions you got right and wrong on the proposed answer keys?

Yup, that's where I went too

are you on the 2613 list too?

Anyone taking the MaBSTOA Exam 4501 after taking the TA 4600 B.O.S.S. survey?

if you already paid the filing fee to take the exam might as well.. 61 dollars

Oh Crap... I need to figure out whats going on. Still haven't receive anything in mail and that was since August.

 

make sure the DMV has your information correct as of your address

Oh Crap... I need to figure out whats going on. Still haven't receive anything in mail and that was since August. Go to the DMV and tell them... Make sure if you live on a apartment complex that they have your apartment number go there ASAP and tell them

 

do you have any passenger restrictions on your CDL license like a N1 or a N2 if you do I hope you realize that you have to take the road test through the DMV again on a bus

those restrictions on your CDL license won't show unless you have the passenger endorsement and you took your road test in a tractor trailer

 

Newmatt or Young, how long did it take for you two to receive the License in mail?

 

2 week's

Tell me about it...and I was brand new to the CDL concepts. However, since I now have my Class A CDL, I feel like I'm better prepared for training.

do you have any passenger restrictions on your CDL license like a N1 or a N2 if you do I hope you realize that you have to take the road test through the DMV again on a bus

Thanks Teegrid!

 

Now we all just gotta wait for the list numbers to be established...

it's a good thing you got the CDL before hand... It's already rough enough going through the training itself... I'm waiting on the 2613 list that I'm on... But I'm backed up by the 4600 exam.I hope it all works out for me

They have a proposed answer key for the BOSS exam? How come this was not posted for B/O exams 2301, 2613 and 3101?

lol no not for the Boss exam I was talking about the actual written 4600 exam itself that we all took back in December

Yup, the exam was easy. Like others said, just had to be consistent. Also, like others said, parking was ridiculous. Parked a good 15 blocks or so away and got drenched. Didn't feel like taking my umbrella to the school. Big mistake!

Hope this goes quick. Can't wait to get called.

Took and passed my cdl road test on Friday too. That's one less thing out of the way.

do you know how many questions you got right and wrong on the test? You can check the proposed answer key to find out

That's good to hear Tee!

I hope you are taking more than 5 lessons for your CDL road test... Just remember if you fail your talking about a good solid month wait just to schedule another road test and another couple of hundred dollars just to rent the Bus again... Just saying...

I spoke to a representative today from the Mta and he told me that anyone who didn't get a letter for the Bus operator selection survey or an email for October 4th will be scheduled for the future due to the fact cause the amount of people that took the exam that they could not have all the candidate's take it in one day

Anybody still waiting on there letter to take the bus operator selection survey?

You physically don't need 3 years of driving experience. You just need your license, whether it is a CDL or regular to be clean for the past 3 years. So if you get into an accident in May of 2014, you have to wait until May of 2017.

young subway fan did you ever get a letter yet to take the boss exam yet?? I'm still waiting for mine

Since BOSS is the same for NYC Transit, MaBSTOA and MTA Bus Company, I thought I read or heard somewhere that, if we pass the BOSS, the results are good for a year. Therefore, if we took BOSS in November of 2013 for MaBSOTA Bus Operator Exam # 3101, I think those results will be good in which we don't have to take BOSS for NYC Transit Bus Operator Exam # 4600. However, you may have to re-take it for MaBSTOA exam # 4105, which is going to be offered this upcoming November 15th.

if you hear any solid information about this from human resources I definitely would appreciate it... But I would assume that you would would have to take the boss exam anyway just do to the fact that it is a different bus operator exam number

I hope I get something by the end of the week... I still never received anything as of yet

I still never received anything yet from transit about the Boss exam... I guess it's still early... Am I the only one on this boat? Is there anyone in here that still did not receive anything from transit about it??

Hey Hockey,

 

I was concerned about this also and I talked to my instructor and he also said nothing under the hood just everything he was showing me will be on the test. 

 

I see that your from Staten Island any chance your using AAAA for your training and is your instructor Jack? Do you already have your CDL?

 

They used to call people who scored the highest originally to take the boss exam (according to their hiring needs) but now they make you take the written and the boss exam before they established the list

Or like with 2613 some people did not do BOSS until they went for there first drug test they were called back like a week later to do it and pray and hope that situation dont happen to you especially if you get a low list number because it delays you and also if you dont pass it at that time then you are out. So you dont have to take BOSS before you get your score or list number.

everyone took the Boss exam that passed the 2613 exam took it with everyone else... They established the list with everyone who took both the 2613 and boss exam no matter who scored what.. You can call up human resources yourself and ask for yourself if you don't believe me

They probably just don't have enough buildings to do the Boss exam for everyone that took the 4600 all in one day... You also got to understand that there were different times and dates for the 4600 exam... At that point I don't think it's what who scored what it's about getting the facilities and not having the man power to have everyone to take the boss exam all in one day.. A lot of people took the 4600 exam

How many people took the 4600 exam
