  1. @Dred I did as good as you on the written exam, but also found the OPA very difficult (note: I am an English & Spanish speaker). But to scream lawsuit just because an agency wants people with the best speaking/understanding skills and great memory is kind of absurd. I am certain they don't care about your age, race, or gender. It would be like a bunch of people who only speak English suing a company because they prefer to hire bilingual people. I don't think if you are the right person for the job, you should want this job anyways. There are plenty of MTA/city jobs out there. I do hope you get a job with the city soon . Best of luck.
  2. That much I didn't ask. I e-mailed them early 2017 and also last week, and both times they told me notice of result letters will be mailed out this spring.
  3. Not sure if I (or someone else) but the list will be out spring of this year.
  4. Could it be that not everyone gets called for the OPA initially until they are close to getting called (maybe 1 year before or so)? Just curious if anyone knows. I doubt all 33,000 people who took the first exam will get called for an OPA. And there seems to be a correlation here between the scores and whether or not people received a letter. Again, just wondering for anyone who knows.
  5. I would say around 30. The listening/memorization portion was everyone together. The second part were called individually to sit in a room.
  6. I also took my OPA today, and as someone who scored 2 wrong on my test, I also found the memory portion surprisingly difficult. Not too sure what they were scoring in the 2nd part of the exam, but assuming you aced it, should be allowed to get 6 or 7 wrong in the memory portion. I am confident most of you passed. Of course, I was under the impression that as long as you pass the OPA, your OPA score would not affect your list number. Can anyone in the MTA confirm this?
  7. I emailed them today asking them when my protest date was. They replied: "We have been allowing people to protest for any session, we may need a couple minutes to find a test booklet for you." "We have 2 more protest session tomorrow (fri 7/14) at 10AM and 1:30 PM, which is the only way for you to look at the test booklets. Otherwise, you can print out the attached form and describe why you think there is a problem with the way the question is written. The Protest is at 180 Livingston Street, 4th floor, Brooklyn NY, 11201. Mail it to the above address and add MTA Exams Protest 6601." Anyone can show up today at 10 AM and 1:30 PM.
  8. Is tomorrow the protest session for ALL exams or only a specific one?
  9. So we can assume the highest score on this list will be 100?
  10. Thank you! And I agree, nothing wrong with comparing both exams. Question: Will residency be used for this exam as well?
  11. How many people took this test compared to the last one? And how do you know how many?
  12. I'm not. I'm referring to people who are saying people with 3 wrong have no hope. Also, where can I see the list for both of those exams you are referring to?
  13. I got 2 questions wrong (so that's a 97.50). From reading this thread I have no hope of getting called.
  14. At what time did you take it? You sure you didn't take it in the afternoon? I took the test for April 10 in the afternoon.
  15. Just curious, how many people do you think got 100 on it? Seems like most people here think only the people who got 0 or 1 wrong will get called... Worries me a bit.
