Also, I just read the appeal form, and they explain it way better, (again, they shouldve clarified from the start). The total percentage for EACH job must add up to 100% and nothing more. So just make sure for each job you keep it under or at 100%. 

I still think that is crazy but hey make sure you all appeal it

Not our fault we have a lot of customer service experience. They’re pointing fingers at us just for being truthful/honest?

Lmfaoo I agree. Not trying to toot my own horn but since I currently work in a full transportation based company and my job revolves around so many of the things the questions are asking I found it next to impossible to answer some below 60% since the question is 100% of what is being asked and I’m glad I’m not the only one to think exactly what your saying

If I put down 3 jobs, each one has to total to 100 to become 300 or all 3 has to total to 100 only?

honestly I still think maybe 100 for each? It wouldn’t make sense to somehow rack up 100 points for 2 or more jobs as depending on your job history that will be next to impossible

so i.e. for my first job if I decide to put 20% on the first 5 questions that will total to a 100%. The rest I have to put 0%?? Correct me if I'm wrong. This is just an example

I wanna say yes. When I redid the education and experience test to appeal their decision I decided to try and just make everything add up to 100. If I had more experience I would put a number higher then one I didn’t have more experience in, then everything my current position doesn’t do I just put 0. My numbers all together were 10/10/20/20/40. I really wish the directions were a little more clear but if I get another email saying the same thing as now then I’m definitely going to call because this is all very frustrating

Correct me if I'm wrong. So each job needs to add up to 100% or is it all the jobs ? Thank you 

each I believe. The directions aren’t exactly clear but from the looks of it yeah. My apologies on if any of my info is incorrect as it seems so many people are confused about this particular section. Here is the important chunk of the directions:

Review all tasks listed below and identify the percentage of time you performed each task during your work experience.

Percentages when added together, must not exceed 100%. If you did not perform a task then you should select 0%.

If you perform other tasks that are not listed here, total them together and select 'Other tasks' with the total percentage.

PERCENTAGES TOTALING OVER 100%

WILL BE FOUND NOT QUALIFIED.

If you select 60% or more on 2+ tasks, you will be found not qualified.

Hi All,

I also got the same email, text, letter about 3607 as you guys above. I currently work for NYC Ferry and have been the last 3 years so on a majority of the questions from the education and experience test i was able to put 60% or more on. But according to the email and appeal form, you are not able to have 2+ questions with over 60% or more on which is crazy and I assume you guys must have done the same as your current or prior job experience Is also based on 60% or more on more then 2 questions. I did the education and experience test again as per link in the email to appeal their decision so let’s see what happens. I’m debating if I should call or email now

Update: I heard quite a few hundred people got the same email as me and you all here so I’m going to assume that they have been busy all day with the same phone calls. I highly suggest you guy do the appeal forum and based on how it’s worded try your best to make everything thing add up to 100% not no more, not no less. I’m hoping for the best for all of us

So If I'm understanding correctly there are 20 experience questions, the total percentage from those 20 must add up to exactly 100%? i.e. If I do 20% on the first 5 questions, I have to put 0% on the rest? Is that how the math works? Let me know if that's the right way doing it. I know we only get one chance to appeal so I already emailed them and I already called them, but I could not get through today. I was on hold for 3 hours  

Honestly I’m not sure. I’m going based off what the the instructions say and it’s very bizarre as I believe if you have or had a job that was a majority of what the questions asked then I don’t see what the issue is with having over 2 questions answered with over 60% or more but that’s just my opinion.

Hi all, I am a High School senior in the Bronx and being a C/R has been one of my life long dreams.

I know you need a High School diploma or GED, and also if there is a exam sometime in the next 2 years will i be eligible to take it even though i am still in Collage?  I am so sorry if this question has been asked before but any other information will be gladly appreciated.

Not to go back off topic, but I caught an R42  earlier.

There was 2 running this afternoon until 1 set got taken OOS due to some kids messing with the doors at Woodhaven Blvd. 

The M finally has a 96th Street-2nd Av program! Going to 96th it says:

M 96 ST-2 AV

M MYRTLE AV LOCAL 

M 6 AV LOCAL/63 STREET 

The FIND box says:

6 Av Local 

96 St-2 Av

Via 63 St  

Coming back from 96th Street the outside sign says:

M METROPOLITAN AV

M VIA 63 ST/6 AV LCL

M MYRTLE AV LOCAL 

The FIND box just says:

6 Avenue Local 

Metropolitan Av  

And for the announcement it is spliced from the announcement.

I love riding in 143 set 8277-8280, this set is much cleaner than the other 143s and the end windows are clear like the CI 160s.

That's because that set was involved in the Canarsie Yard incident in 2006 and it was OOS from the accident till December 2017 because of repairs. One of the cars still has half of the 2001 transfers on the strip map under 6th Av since the bottom half was ripped out for some reason then the transfer at Union Square has the 2010 sticker over it and has the original shown but a single sticker over <Q>. And also 8280 has the old evacuation decal on the wall.

Just caught a 4 car R160 at 75th Street signed up as a to Broadway Junction, it was going Brooklyn Bound.  They had equipment set up in the back for testing purposes. 

Edit: it is running up and down the J Line. It just passed Alabama Avenue, going Queens bound.
