Can you tell me if it is worth studying the Phase 1 Quizlet info? I understand it will be different like it was for S&D.

They will send you a PDF file to study phase 1 Material in advance.

How are my fellow Phase 1 people doing with the rules?

Im not done with the packet but feel like I should be further along.  Especially since we get the entire book tomorrow.  I did only get the email about a week ago, but still feeling a certain type of way.

🙉

Gooood morning! Doing pretty well, wish I didn't have to work half the day so I could study all day and really have no life 🤓

Hey Dre , do you think the MTA is still on a hiring frenzy?

For those who live out east and  live near each other I suggest carpooling. Also studying together too if you can. 

I’m in Nassau county, takes me around 28 minutes to get to Babylon

@Steven trejo you are indeed very lucky, when I took the s&d back in June I arrived almost an hour early, but they actually locked the doors 10 minutes before the report time, they said anyone cutting it this close already is not a good sign lol. This is one opportunity I'm not messing around with....

That’s what I’m saying, learned my lesson lol. Catching 4:07 pm train from Jamiaca to HS🚂💨 driving to Babylon is mandatory bc it’s like hour walk🚶🏽‍♂️from station I heard ! Not sure how parking works over there but we’ll find out on Wednesday  .

@drenyce311, are you familiar with the parking situation at hillside facility?  Is there usually parking on dunkirk?  I can just take the 5 minute walk from there.

I’m catching the train on Wednesday’s to hillside facility, not messing around parking. Almost was  late for the open house! Luckily I found parking at the very last minute  and literally ran to offices with one minute to spare  huee

I feel the same as you. I took the S&D exam Aug 17 and constantly keep checking email. I emailed Michelle Drew in HR to ask when I could expect an answer and received no response. Pass or fail, I just need closure in order to move on. I don't want to start something else just to drop it later when LIRR finally gets back to me.

Hey brother one , of you took your s&d last month then you should be in the next class around January I would guess right @drenyce311

I, too, have read almost all of the pages and agree no news is good news.  I was invited on April 6th and when I was scheduled for the S&D on May 11th I was elated.  But now I have so many doubts.  I've been checking my email multiple times a day.  I will call HR tomorrow.  Thank you so much for responding to my post.  I appreciate it very much!

Anytime brother man! Remember doubt kills more dreams then failure ever will. 💪

Good evening all!  Would appreciate any thoughts on the following: S&D test date was May 11th.  Haven't heard anything.  Don't know if I passed the test.  Is this unusual?  Maybe I didn't score well?

Congratulations and good luck to all who have advanced to the next phase.

 

Thank you

Hey Elaine, sorry to hear  I took my s&d in May too and got notified like 3 weeks after. I’ve read this forum from page 1 and they say no news is good news, but if you get a letter in mail it pretty much means you didn’t get selected. I would honestly try to get in touch with HR see what’s going on..

@Steven trejo @Stevend258 @Iwetoddit one more week until class guys. Hows the pre-studying going? I'm just patiently waiting for it to begin,  hard road to get to just this point, just ready to continue this journey and learn as much as I possibly can. 

So far so good, writing each rule down like crazy already went through two 300 page note books working on my third 🤓 Heheh I’m super exited too man can’t wait to be a student again lol 📚

I took the S&D test in August (more than 3 weeks ago). How long does it take to get the results? The longer it takes - the more anxious I get and keep second guessing myself.

Don't worry you should get a call soon   bc I got called 2-3 weeks after s&d.

Got my email!!!  I’m in for Phase 1, phew.  

Now I’ll be coming from Central Islip, would it be better to take the train or drive?

I do hope that that’s the only class at Hillside cause I’m not sure what to tell my supervisors about leaving early every Wednesday. 

Nice! See you in class man. I think the Saturday class might be in Babylon. 💪🤓💪

Hey @drenyce311 did you make flash cards for all the rules ? Bc some of them don't even fit lol ,  I'm currently doing the read write recite and audio recordings.

I had my physical this morning and am under the impression I passed.  I was waiting for the email for confirmation and still haven’t heard anything.  When did others hear back about the results?

I got an email like 1-2 hours after my medical

I decided to enjoy the last weekend of summer before going full throttle.  I’m reviewing to ensure the info is fresh from S&D.  But next Tuesday the sessions will begin.  2-3 hours daily after work. 

Full throttle that's what I'm talking about !  So far I got Rule number #26 down. Some of these are too big for regular size flash cards lol grr 

Study mode on✅ all day everyday! Who’s with me?!🤓💯🙌🏼
