Question to all who passed S&D already or anyone in the know: While studying signals and having to know the NAME of signals verbatim, do you have to include the "dashes" in between the names when theres multiple words. I am unsure. TIA
-
You are correct. We only have 50 questions total 25 and 25. Good luck to you my friend when the day comes. This here is definitely a rat race.I think worse than failing straight up would be to ace exam, do well on panel interview and to never hear back again. That has got to be killer!
-
Cool! Yeah, i didn't get email regarding test yet but wasn't sure if they'd send another one out. I'll be looking for it. I'm 100% with definitions and grinding signals now. Looking forward to the 17th but time is flying by for sure.
-
Its a little too quiet in here. (Cricket, cricket). Guess thats the sound of waiting and studying.
-
What was your technique for remembering signals? Definitions is pretty straightforward and hard. Curious what you did for signals though
-
I'm good! Definitions done, signals start tomorrow. Only enough time if you started right away. Not too many people in here for our test class i think. Most others are passed the test.
-
For anyone passing the exam, i know the instructor at our overview said punctuation and even spelling doesn't matter as long as they can make out the word, lol, however....what about dashes between names in definitions including for signals? Anyone know. Like block limit sometimes has one in definitions but sometimes doesn't.
-
Good stuff! Hope it moves quick for ya!
-
Fed or Dre, Any word on next steps yet?
-
A friend on the RR told me definitions were harder and to master those 1st. I got 30 down in 1st week. But they mess with your head. Gotta review the ones you know all the time.
-
I'm pretty sure that if you applied but never were called at all, there is nothing you can do. I've been told that with the thousands of applicants that apply to positions like this that not every app gets seen and then its luck of the draw if you get picked, even with relative experience. Don't give up though, keep applying. Check every week for new job posts and apply to any. After a year you can always move around.
-
Ok, but how many of each then?
-
Anyone that passed the S&D exam, for definitions.....how many a day did you memorize on average. I've been doing 5/day but this will leave me with approx 2 1/2 weeks to study signals. Sound good or no??
-
For me, yes, this is correct. My email and the teacher says so. Do you mean.....you applied online but never were called for next steps like going to initial open house??
-
Makes sense Rene!
-
i didn't realize your overview was on the 7th. I just went on the 12th. That explains the gap in question. Two classes very close together. If anybody is in doubt, i would email linda to confirm. Better safe than sorry.
-
Strange, the email inviting me to overview also had invite for july 17th exam.
-
You mean July 17th! And yes, everything in packet. We just don't need to know the difference between A and C yet. You still need to know name and indication though. You weren't sleeping at overview, were you?
-
Uhhhh, yes. Its in all of our email correspondence from LIRR. As well as they said.....5 weeks to the day from Overview. Looks like somebody wasn't paying attention! Lol
-
Its the investment of a lifetime! Well worth it. Hillside was pretty chill. Workers there seemed to all be smiling. Lol
-
Ok, good. I was feeling like damn i should be studying already but I've only had packet 24 hours. Lol. I'm possessed like you guys to do good and perform. I think writing the same indication over 6 times to make flash card is helping already. Haha
-
Just curious, how long did it take everybody to make flash cards? I did definitions yesterday and signals today. Too hot to go all night last night. Lol
-
Thanks! Flash cards took sooooo long to make. I was thinking they should just supply those too. Haha
-
Hey everybody! S&D Overview complete!! Now to make my cards and get cracking. So pumped. Lady teacher today said only 3 classes scheduled for this year, 2 in August and 1 in September. No more! If you do good but don't get called, they'll put you in a class this coming year. Not discouraged even though i went to a late overview just short of training. This is baby steps. Good luck people!
-
Gotcha Dre, thanks! Just curious
