Hey all, I've been browsing this site for quite sometime and became a member last year. Great info being passed and hopefully I can do the same.

 

I'm on the list for track worker 3600 and yesterday took the TO 7604. While neither would benefit from some sort of study guide, the TO exam is slightly more difficult. There really isn't any preparation you can do for it because all information needed to pass the exam lies in the booklet provided. Like most have said here, the exam is testing your cognitive abilities. I.E if you can correctly deduce how to proceed after reading a service change notice, follow procedures, etc.

 

If anyone has specific questions, please feel free to ask. Good luck to all.

Thanks for this.

Im taking the T/O this Saturday, and Ive been a bit nervous.  I went ahead and bought that book before I joined this forum and I cant help but feel like I may have wasted my time. Hoping for the best.  Thanks.

Good luck. I don't think age should play a factor. From my experience these test usually are common sense.

I appreciate your response, thank you.

Don't worry too much about that, try and get as high as you can. 100%-85% would be great.

thats the goal!

Age does not play a factor... I know people in their 50's and 60's as newly hired train operators. Doing well down here!

Thats great news!  Im hoping things work out for the best, finding a secure gig has been the goal for me and my family.

Good evening everyone.

I am scheduled to take the T/O Exam #7604 on May 20th. 

I have been diligent with studying that passport book and riding the trains and just doing my best in reading and rereading the subway map.

Preparing the best I could, but I am still nervous;  I am 47 years old...does age play a factor in the hiring process? ( assuming I passed the test and went on to the interviewing process).
