60 only? wow. i would thing it's in the hundreds, due to attrition rates

Hi guys and gals - sorry but these are curious questions not related to the EXAM. But i was thinking how it could be fun and informative to ask here, because most people here are aspiring T/Os like me. Maybe we can share stories that we hear around, with each other? And also hopefully take our minds off from the Exam while we wait for the list! 1) Are you guys worried that T/Os get lung problems working underground for decades? I wonder why T/Os don't wear masks? 2) What have you heard of the culture of the MTA / TOs? Professional setting with the occasional jacka** or is it like highschool with all the alpha-ism and bullying? 3) is the failure/turnover rate 50% or more in school car? It seems like that from what i've read in the forums. Does this stress you out or does it motivate and excite you more?

Wow guys I'm pretty bummed out. It's GREAT to hear some of you getting letters in the mail. But I haven't gotten any. I got a 93/94 as I remembered. I suppose they don't go down the list in order of Scores??

wow this thread is quiet now. still no word from MTA! scored a 93-94 if i remembered correctly. I assume they start with MTA employees, then go down the list from 100. I would think they would have gone to the 90s by now! I hope they CALL us, would be bad if they just email us and imagine that thing went to Spam mail and we deleted it.

so we pretty much have to wait say.....2-3 years? maybe 4-6 years for a call back??? LOL

The Train Map questions were a piece of cake. The Questions regarding putting the details in order or getting the Time's right were the scariest cuz 12:21 looks like 12:12 if you aren't careful!! Now it got me thinking! I may have gotten 1-2 of those questions wrong from carelessness.

Just took the exam today and felt great! Not hard at all, you just have to be extra CAREFUL and read the questions slowly, and just cross out the answers you KNOW that are wrong, and you'll be fine. The hardest part now is waiting for the results and when they actually, if they even are, gonna call us back!!

I would love the opportunity to go to schoolcar but in 6-8 years time, who knows what/where i am/doing.

Thanks for your response. are you SERIOUS? 3-8 year wait???....omg.

HI all. not sure if this is the place to post this type of question, I apologize in advance if so. But I applied to the MTA TRAIN OPERATOR position and 1) how long does it usually take for them to call me back for an exam? I've read around May 2017. and 2) Where can I buy a study book with test questions relating to the test that I will take in May? Thanks so much! TJ
