I passed S&D in November and had my panel interview around two weeks later.

I passed my S&D test, and had my panel interview, and never had a background check done. Unless they did it and didn't mention anything? I'm still waiting to get into phase 1.

awesome congrats, curious to know when the classes start if the interview goes well, hopefully see you there.

 

 

best,

Don't hold your breath. I passed the S&D test in November, had the interview shortly after that, and am still waiting to get into phase 1.

Just took the S+D exam on Saturday, 3/30/19

 

anyone know how long it takes them to reach out to let you know if you passed or not? 

If anyone took the same exam and heard anything I would appreciate a post response here to get an idea. 

Thanks

I took the S&D test back in November. I got a call about a week later letting me know I passed.

Flash Cards for sure

Does anyone know a better way to memorize the position and pedestal lights?

Flash Cards. Be prepared, because the definitions are exponentially harder to memorize. They make the signals look like child's play.

Either you take a short vacation to be local or don’t take one at all until you know where you stand. How much do you want this career?

Obviously the career is more important than the vacation. It's just unfortunate you are given absolutely no timetable by the LIRR. It's not easy to put your life on hold for an indeterminate amount of months/years, especially since there's no guarantee you are ever called at all.

I heard the next few phase classes are filled up to August. Not sure how true that is. 

I'd like to take a vacation this year but not knowing when I will be called for the Phase 1 test makes me hesitant to book anything. How have others handled this? Is it just best to forego making any plans indefinitely? 

Does anyone have any idea when the next Phase 1 class will be?

I passed the S &D test and had my panel interview in November. I read on the last page there is a Phase 1 class scheduled for January now, but I wasn't contacted so I assume that means I wasn't selected. Is that a knock on my qualifications, or is there a list of candidates from past tests that will get invited to a class before me?

How much time should be set aside to memorize the definitions? Is two weeks sufficient? Three weeks?
