  1. No, when i took the test in 2016 it was mostly logic questions and reading comprehension. For example a decent amount of questions where how does train X go to track X. You are shown a picture and have to chose the best route. My memory is fuzzy but there were a few questions about something like that. I passed but never got called because a lot of people take this test. My advice to you is to take any of the helper test / entry level test that come out every year. The list is usually less than 500 people and the test are easy. Once you are in it is easier to move around.
  2. Power varies depending on what you do. For example, some departments you are mostly on the track and do very physical work (Cable), and others you are almost never on the track and do not do much physical work (System operations.) Good Luck with Signals.
  3. You drive or flag. That is 50 - 80% of the job depending on where u go. The job of the electrical helper is to assist the maintainer. So you are an extra pair of hands. That is it. e z p z.
  4. Hi Everybody I have returned. Just got a Letter from Transit. I have Officially received A list number. I assume this means as of today all the provisional guys are now permanent employees on probation? If so then that is great news. No more provisional status. Good Stuff.
  5. All is well. Im in Cable. Work isnt too bad, but I hear some other departments in power have it better than me so i hope to move. Better as in cleaner/safer work. Beyond that I just we become permanent soon and the mta releases the offical list asap.
  6. Signals is hard stuff homie. At least when you first get into it. Day time works above ground mostly and tunnels at times. Night time works in the tunnels. Most important thing is to not be late or take any sick days. They hold it against you. Then you have to learn about flagging. After that you learn the job.
  7. Cool. Any idea what you will be doing in power?
  8. Calling and emailing wont make the wait any shorter. The list is not even out yet.
  9. Good info. Would be great to become a maintainer after only 1 year. Maybe I lucked out? Time will tell.
  10. They are close to 300. My number is between 250 and 300. Regardless I doubt more than 800 people took the test. Your time will come soon. I have no idea what sub division of Power I will be placed in. Class is nxt month. Middle of july. If you have any parking tickets pay them now. When you do medical dont say you have any problems at all lol. They will hold you and tell you to go see a doctor. Mta has random drug test so stay clean. Thats all the info I got atm.
  11. They put me in power. Guess that is alright with me. Not really sure what to think. Was hoping for signals because of overtime, but maybe power gets OT as well. If not I will find a way to get money on the side. On the plus side I will likely see less rats then somebody working in the signal department. Hehe.
  12. Email her. Or not. You time will come soon enough.
  13. If you can read at a middle school level you will do well. You dont even need to know ohms law. The formula for the questions are provided. If you want study ohms/ watts law and do a series and parallel circut problems.
  14. When you get the email for medical it tells you the start date for school.
