mass production

I'm like everyone else here waiting for the list to come out. Just got done filing for the next Mabsota exam number 4105

So that means for 4600 exam they should start calling people sometime in 2015

It should be around next year depending on the vacancy when they will start going from the list. It does take time and its a long process.

When the testing was done under DCAS (Department of Citywide Administrative Services), this is correct. It was from DCAS at the time, but I notice a lot has changed with the process for TA. See what happens.

 

However, this was NOT the case for exam 2613. After taking the test in January of 2013, we took the BOSS in June 2013. Then the list came out on October 30th, 2013 and they called the first group of people a couple of weeks after that.

Has anyone on this form took the BOSS exam in November of 2013 for MaBSTOA? We should be getting a notice in March of this year.

When the testing was done under DCAS (Department of Citywide Administrative Services), this is correct. Yeah it was DCAS at the time I took it.

So is the BOSS exam before you get a list number when will that exam be given ?

Just checked my answer not too long ago and I passed! I'm not going to say how many I got wrong, but I already been there and done that. Just keep in mind everyone you only need a 70% to pass and yes the list will be extremely long but also keep in mind they may be a lot of people might not get in for a lot of reasons even if you scored very high. Trust me I know and eventually everybody will get called from the list when your time comes.

The results are coming in 4 days can't wait! 

The best way to go about this is to find out  the date, time, color admission, school where the exam was held, bus map, etc.

All the Answer will be sme letter from 1 - 60. It was 3- 4 different booklets per color of your admission , time you were schedule to attend and location. So if answer Number one was Z, Every question for number one Was Z for that specific question for number 1's.  PM if you dont understand what i mean by that

I'm totally aware there were different exam booklets and also the bus maps were either Brooklyn or Queens. Yes there were color admission letters that people had were yellow, pink , and white on Sunday when I was there.

Anyone who went this past Sunday to take the exam at Brooklyn Tech H.S. PM session, and would like to compare your answers you can IM me if you want to keep your answers confidential.

Did anyone on this forum took the BOSS last month for Mabsota ?

How long has it been?

if this list turns out to be very long , the MTA may extend it for longer than 4 years like they've done in the past . keep in mind alot of people don't make the TEAM for WHATEVER reason drugs, alcohol , criminal history , driving record , training . i can go on and on let's all stay positive and healthy . GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Mass production,

Good to see you again. See you going for it again keep it up.

I'm confident that everyone did well on this exam. From reading a few threads this evening I've noticed that there are people that took the same exact exam but however the bus maps were different and so were the questions on the exam. The exam were similar but some people had two different Bus maps one Queens one Brooklyn. I took mine this Sunday and I had the Queens Bus map. Anyone who took the exam this Sunday afternoon around 1:30pm at Brooklyn Tech H.S. and had Queens Bus map I want to compare the answers just instant message me if you want to keep your answers confidential.

Hmmmmmm... Dre87 you said you get a list number after the BOSS exam and MassProduction you said before the BOSS.

 

On the application it says:

"THE TEST RESULTS: If you pass the multiple-choice test, your name will be placed in final score order on an

eligible list and you will be given a list number."

 

So either way, it should be based on your score from the first written exam. Not sure what they're doing with all the people who have the same scores. I hope alphabetical starting with A cause my last name begins with an A

I would be shocked if anyone failed this test. Mta made it so that everyone should pass

to be honest with you I never knew anyone that failed the BOSS.

I know no points of interest questions, no math questions. Everything I studied was not on the test. Now it's the waiting game.

So your score becomes your list number and then after you take the BOSS exam, you still keep the original list number, right? The BOSS is a pass/fail and won't get you called any faster, correct?

That's pretty much correct. The BOSS is questions like if you was going to an interview, and the same questions can get repeated twice. Usually you will have a list number before the BOSS exam because they do send notices in the mail.

You only need a 70% to pass the exam and they do call from the list. Trust me on this one because I already have been there myself. They go by what you scored on the exam from the highest to the lowest and you on a list#. Even with people that score really good might not get the job for many reason, such as bad driving record, failing a drug test, criminal records, dishonorable discharged from the Armed Forces, not passing a physical, and for any other reason. Usually the list number last about 5 years, and there is a shortage of drivers. Just got to wait and see. If anyone whats to compare your answers from the exam you can hit me up a instant message if want to keep your answers confidential. 

You're right about that it was a lot of reading comprehensive but at times the question was a little tricky but I had to read it again and it made perfectly clear what they were asking about. A lot of us flip the page back just to mark down right the answers. I feel comforted I did alright but at the end of the exam it got a lot easier for me with the codes and especially I live in Queens they had a map of the borough where the bus stops and landmarks were.That was nothing to me.

I also just got back from taking the 4600 afternoon session with a Queens bus map. It was mostly reading comprehension with a few questions on a bus timetable and a few questions based on the Queens map.

Just go done taking the afternoon exam at Brooklyn Tech H.S. if anyone was there today, and want to check the answers together let me know. Also I notice outside the school there were a lot of people that had pink, yellow, and white notices for the exam, and the lines were split up. I had the pink notice...

The exam is cake its common sense but it is a lot of reading. I take mine on Sunday at 1:31 pm at Brooklyn Tech H.S. Just to let everyone know that this is not the first time taking it. I took the TA B/O exam back in 2008 and passed it so basically I'm doing everything all over again. I took the BOSS exam last month at the same location for Mabsota if anyone took there's last month. Wish everyone the best of luck!

Congrats Igor! what depot are you trying to go to?
