Back tracking a little as some of us have the S & D test this Saturday... any pointers going into the exam? how difficult do they make it? anyone have any insight, freaking out a little the closer it gets

Is it ridiculous to ask if the turn around time would be too quick for those of us taking the S&D on 9/7 to have a shot at being in the 9/18 Phase 1?

Don’t get caught up on the word “indication”. To us it means the signals come with an indication and a definition for each one. For the signals test, write out the ASPECT (Name of signal). The verbatim part of the test, it will be stated as INDICATION (Write out definition of the signal). Hope this helps. 

Thanks man, I appreciate it

It would specify. Ex: RESTRICTING (ZONE A). For LIRR it would just say Ex: RESTRICTING 

Thanks man for the info. So on the section where you are only identifying the Aspects by picture, do they break it down the same way? 

Also when you need to define the Aspects, are they showing a picture of the aspect and you have to define it or would it just say "Restricting" and you would need to define?

Good morning everyone just checking in. Today makes it 2 weeks since my open house and no email stating the next step which would be the Signals and definitions overview. I thankyou for everyone's feedback that if I was seen by HR after my vocabulary and cognitive test that I passed. I'm still not convinced in my mind until I receive that email. It's TRUE nerveracking. So from all the pros out there what and when should I expect the next step? At my open house I was just given a prelim interview after my test. A questionnaire about the job and my capabilities. I was not given any information to my passing the test. I was not given papers for background check. Just was told Lucele Marino will contact me either way and was told I was free to go. So now 2weeks past and now what. Thanks guys please give me some hope here. This has been my childhood dream. My playground. 

Thanks good luck to you all. 

 

From my experience they contact you when they have room in the next S & D overview / test. It took a little over a month from when I had the initial interview till when I was emailed about the S & D overview. Its coming man, don't lose hope!

Anyone know on the Signals and Definitions test do they group the Amtrak aspects into the LIRR ones? Like are they all mixed together or is it a separate section like in the study material? They are almost identical to some of the LIRR ones and have a completely different meaning. Taking the S & D september 7th and studying as much as possible working a full time job lol
