Got back from the overview today and started to make the index cards. My hands are about to fall off from all the writing. For those who passed the exam, did you study the definitions first or the signals? Just trying to get an idea of what to study first.

I did 4 definitions and 7 signals a day, then the next day I would review an hour or so before starting the next batch, this leaves you a lot of time for review

Also, anyone who passed the test on July 16 hear anything yet??? 

Anyone who passed the S&D TEST on July 16th hear anything yet???!!

@Cdima123 From my understanding a handful of people passed the exam in May and still haven't been contacted yet. I sent Linda an email because the anxiety from waiting was to much for me, I couldn't wait anymore. Sterling will contact you via email. @JHP87 I would like to agree with you, chances are when the classes are set in stone, they will start placing people in them. 

When did you pass your exam @TomLirrAC? Were you contacted yet by sterling?

@Cdima123 Thank you kindly. I took my exam on April 17th I believe . I missed out on the June class because sterling couldn't verify a few of my jobs. So I had to reachout to the IRS and provide them with tax transcripts for the jobs they were curious about. Made it just in time for the August 22nd class. Also I almost didn't make it past the medical at Mineola. Apparently i failed the eye exam, they told me to come back when I get some glasses. So I got a pair of prescription glasses within that same week (which I havent worn since the eye exam). It can be a real tedious process, so when the time comes just be prepared. Sterling background check first, then medical at Mineola next. I hope this was somewhat helpful. 

I took mine on the 16th of July, still nothing from anyone, from what you’re saying you were contacted for a class around that 2 month range initially, kind of gives me anxiety as it’s been over 2 months and no contact yet, who knows what the process is

I overheard in Hillside the other day that there will be no more classes in 2018. The 4th and 5th classes of the year are currently in Hillside. The 4th class is just about to graduate, and the 5th class just started a few weeks ago (they'll probably graduate around Thanksgiving).

 

Even though you guys had 22 or 24 people pass S&D, remember that not all of those people will wind up getting the job. Some of them may not pass the physical exam, and some of them may have already found other jobs while waiting. In January, if they find that they have more than 24 people ready to start, they'll probably just make 2 classes back to back. I know it's a long wait, which sucks, but don't get discouraged, it'll happen. Just keep studying your stuff so you don't forget it before class starts!

Thanks, we put all this work in those 5 weeks it would suck to not get the opportunity

Does anyone know how many people passed the sd test in june? also does anyone know if any of the people who passed in may have entered a class yet? thank u in advance.

I passed my test on July 16th, I believe 22 of us passed that day, still have yet to hear anything....

Question for any AC’s who have been through the whole process:

How long after passing the s&d did it take for sterling to contact you regarding your background check?? Has been 2 months since I passed the test still nothing...

Question, 

I have been in the process and was offered a position as Condutor Trainee for the Metro North, class starts in October, but I passed my LIRR S/D rest in July, does anyone know if I take the job for Metro North in the meantime while I’m waiting for the LIRR will it affect my chances of getting put in a A/C class ??? 

Any thoughts???

Took my S/D test in July 16th, passed, got measured and fitted for the uniform and all and still not  peep from anyone reagarding the next steps, not even an email from sterling regarding the background process, should I be worried ???
