Are you saying the person restored in May hasn't been called for another drug test yet? How often does transit request a certified list? Guess it'll be a long wait. 

 

WHEN DID YOU TAKE YOUR. OPA ??

Because EVERYONE passed the first part. It's that easy. You didn't see anyone miss the second part because no one failed. He said if you did NOT get asked to do the second half, you failed.

My instructor didnt mention that at all

Maybe it changed since I did it, but you k ow you passed when you left. The OPA is pretty common sense and you’ll know if you passed or failed. 
 

In part one they play radio recordings and you answer questions based on what you hear. 
in part two they give you a bunch of pictures and ask you what you would do. 
 

When I took the OPA they then handed me a packed requesting more information from me and said they’d be in touch. 
 

I also got a letter in the mail that said I passed. 

They had us do the first part on a scantron and didnt grade it. Everyone had to stay to do part 2 then we were instructed to leave and look out for an email.

You’ll know right then an there if you passed the OPA.  They also send you a letter in the mail. The OPA is one of those things where you KNOW if you passed or failed. 
 

if you’re unsure if you passed or fail, I’d keep an eye out for a letter in the mail. 

What do you mean ? The instructor lets you know right then and there???

Very good to know! I got an email yesterday to come in for medical on 8/9, completed pre employment & drug test 8/1. The email also had a conditional offer letter that stated I am being considered for the class that starts 8/22. With such a quick turnaround I’m trying to get as much info as possible so I can make arrangements for my family etc. 

If holiday falls during the week we are in training, do we get that day off or no?

what else will happen when I got to medical on 8/9? Is there a formal interview? Should I dress up? 

Hi Diamond How long ago did you take your OPA ??

You should. I would reach out to the Examinations Unit (examsunit@nyct.com) who handles the Oral Proficiency Assessment (OPA), and see what they have to say. They should respond to your e-mail within two to three business days.

Good luck!!

Hey Can anyone tell me how long does it take to hear a response after the OPA ?
