After getting a good push from a Doctor who paid attention to my records he pushed me forward saying your clear to go why do they want you to do this over?

Got my slip and then the new fun began but after all that was photod finger printed and handed my handbook and class, January 30th

I heard January 30th going to be last class for this list.

What is the  purpose for the butcher book?  I know one thing is for ADA purpose.

Yea u don't get immediately fired, but u will have to explain yourself and if u explain yourself wrong u will be fired. So best not to have to go through nervously explaining yourself to a superintendent and just get it right in the first place so they don't have to question u.

I’m going to disagree. Yes, you get a chance to clarify the meaning to a superintendent if you don’t put down the correct wording on the test. However; saying they won’t get fired if they get it wrong is incorrect. I have people in my induction that got termed because they got signals wrong on the test, and then got it wrong again when asked to clarify verbally to the Supt.

no you don't get fired if you get it wrong.  like i keep saying. just get the definitions 80-90% correct.  and you will be fine. Trust me.  the final exam/signals final is a joke.
if you study your flashcards everyday, you will pass.  if you are still having trouble memorizing and understanding it after a few weeks, then the way you're studying isn't working. 
you have to find what works for you.  think about back to your HS/college days.....it's all memorization.  

I understand 60-70% signals meaning and how to follow.  TSS keep saying we need to write word to word definition in written test. Thats the problem i,m having right now. some of signals have like long paragraph and right now for some reason i can not memorize them. yesterday i memorized restricted speed and extreme caution 6 points definition. 

T.O! Can you tell me how did you study your signals?
Its so much pressure that if you get wrong 1 signal exam you out of T.O.

I did my drug test on 9/28 and i still haven't heard back from MTA for my medical. Does it actually take this long to get a response back? 

I did drug test on 8/18 and waited exactly 2months and they sent me a conditional offer email to take medical

@JPkim1130 arrive early you can find parking near by. You will be there for the 1st week and after that you’ll be a little everywhere lol they will give you a schedule by Thursday or Friday you will know where to report ahead of time. Subject to change though I will tell you that your TSS will let you know though 

Yes I was thinking getting there by around 445 and look for parking space. If i find early I will take a break and go to school by 6.
What do you do in first week?

Are we have to go Brooklyn 2125 w 13th st everyday for training or only for the first day?
I just checked it takes 2 hrs to take a train there. Its deep brooklyn (coney island).
I,m about to take car there park near by and first day of the class.

@JPkim1130 nice . Come in prepared be ready to be up about 3-4 hours before your assigned time just to make it early. Early is on time on time is late so they say. It’s a change that you will have to make in your life. School car is the most challenging part of it so just take notes study and make sure you have all your materials they provide you with EVERYDAY don’t leave nothing home. Good luck and welcome 

Roger that!!

So that mean even tho I pass medical exam, If I dont pay that off I can not go in to oct 31st class? Its been more than 2 weeks, the court is not sending me anything.  Should i get my driving record from dmv?

I just checked it shows on my driving record. 4 points. is that a pending moving violation? It doesnt say anything in penalty amount.

You're going to have to pay that off before you even move forward, they're going to let you know that once you tell them.

Recently I received speeding ticket on Albany upstate, I dont know how many points and how much is it yet. They have to send me back but still didnt received from their city court. Is that pending moving violations?
