Hey guys,want to know how many questions on the first part of the OPA do you need to get right to pass? I ask cause I wasn't sure about to of questions.Also how long does it take to get to the next steps after you passed the OPA?

 

Not sure how many but I think it might be a overall score, from the first part and then the second part.

if you werent taken to the back of that room for part 2 of the OPA, you didnt pass

Which room, because today they were about 35 people in my room that took the OPA and each person had an assigned seat number and based on your seat number that's how they called u

You’ll know right then an there if you passed the OPA.  They also send you a letter in the mail. The OPA is one of those things where you KNOW if you passed or failed. 
 

if you’re unsure if you passed or fail, I’d keep an eye out for a letter in the mail. 

Actually just did mine today and they said 3 to 6 months wait time to know if you pass or fail. 

Honestly I would take transit cleaner position in a heartbeat because I see a lot of potential in working for mta. I'll see the end of the month what list number they sent out. And also I'm going next week for the OPA assessment for conductor

not enough for house  and car even with 31.  i just reapply for conductor, wondering is t/o exam going to open, i heard they dec this year.

31 dollars after 6 years it's like 65k a year.  it's pretty good to me considering how much I am currently working I'll have to work a lot of overtime to see that kind of money. That's your base salary now if you do overtime you can def make more than that. Also I think depending on if your nights you get extra and with union contracts and so forth. And also promotion test you can take.

Think of it as this once your in mta as a transit cleaner they are many opportunities that will open and a lot of promotion you could do. It's not the end of road

Just now, Mohamed said:

What's going my friend so I think mta is canvassing people who took the conductor test but whose list number is above 10k and giving them a conditional offer for transit cleaners..    Also I had email mta as well concerning the same situation and they said the same thing thing because my list for conductor is 77## and was wondering why I didn't get that offer but they said that my list number stands a good chance in getting into conductor and a week later I got a call and a email to come in for the OPA assessment test. Which I am hoping I do well and then it's another waiting process for the medical

Hello. When did you apply transit cleaner exam? I applied Aug 2022 and it stated they will sent out list number by the end of September . What was your list number? I’m still waiting to know mine.

Also I applied for transit cleaner as well and it did say we all have to wait till the end of September to receive a random list number. Which I am hoping it's not a high number but will see and I am not sure how they would establish a list number if they will go by when you applied or your by social security number, not entirely sure but staying positive

Finally got appointed to C/R and start class on the 12th, this forum has been very informative, thanks to all of you for posting your experiences

Good luck I'm going on next week for a OPA assessment it states on the notice if I passed I get seen right away for medical but some on the forum mention they had to wait a few months to receive the letter if they pass or fail. So not sure, ill see when I get there 

I just got a email to come in for the OPA assessment next two weeks. Any pointers on how it would be, also what form of wear is required 

Not much talk about this exam, any word or information about what's the last list number they called for medical 

Does anyone know if this exam got extended, it's set to expire next year Jan or Feb
