  1. Hey whats up guys. I am new to the forum. I as well have completed my background check and was also called to take the "Attention Exam" This week coming up. When I asked the recruiter, she said that the exam test your reaction time and your ability to stay alert. I also thinks that they will test to see if you have sleep apnea. I would assume that this is a new exam in lieu of all the train accidents that have occurred in the recent past. I read that they want to make sleep apnea testing an MTA wide thing not only a Metro North thing in which ALL ENGINEERS and CONDUCTERS must pass.

    I doubt we are getting tested for sleep apnea on Friday. That would be done after a medical is done plus you have to wear a machine while your sleeping. This test is only about 20 mins from what i was told.

  2. Hey guys been a while I passed the exam, and did my background that crap was a real pain in the ass with the W2s.  I had an issue where I was hired by a company and they changed thier name a few times.  The background company was a real pain in the rear about it but they made a notation of the company changing their name and said its completed.

  3. No I didnt see anyone that came in. I got there around 8ish with the intent to study but i was told once i sign in, there was no more studying. So they sat me alllll the way up front!!! I was the 1st in the room

    Ya I was in the back on the left side as you enter the hall, 3 people showed up late they were sent away but one of them ran in like he ran a marathon to get there.

  4. No I didnt call the number yet. I was planning on calling tomorrow or something. I didnt realize youre also going to be getting study material to take the test...Interesting but I'm looking forward to whatever they have

    Yea you have to call them to verify your spot, they will tell you that you will get that second email to give you the time to be at the location.  Then the second email said you will be mailed materials to study, don't delay brother call first thing tomorrow morning and good luck to you.

  5. I received an invitation email to take a test for this next month. Anyone know what to expect and the difficulty in getting this position?

     

    I've seen plenty info on this site for LIRR but nothing specifically for MNRR.

    Did you call the number in the email ?  They send you a second email telling you the time your suppose to go and take the test.  The email also states you will receive study material soon before a certain date mine says i should get the study material no later than August 24th.  I too would like any tips or advice as this decision is hard for me as I am currently a T/O with almost 9 years.
