  1. As per the guidelines, if you can please stay on-topic, it would be appreciated. If NOT, disciplinary action will be coming. Thank you @2ride!!
  2. Congrats @Basemac7!! Although you passed the 10-Day Training Session, have you considered looking at the handouts? Were they helpful or not? In addition, for those who are about to enter the 10-Day Training Session, do you have any pieces of advice to share? Again, congrats on passing the 10-Day Training Session!!
  3. From taking several Bus Operator Examinations, they do the same things. The only difference was that one time it was raining, and they made everyone line up in the hallway and wait in there, which was annoying.
  4. It is initially based on your written test score. However, providing you have no disqualifying restrictions, such as "N1" or "N2," what's good is that, once you pass the 10-Day training session, you do NOT have to take the CDL road test, since you already accomplished that in your lifetime. Even if you took the CDL road test under the "old" format which was about an hour in change with the engine compartment closed, what's good is that you do NOT have to take the revised 2 & 1/2 hour CDL road test, which now includes an inspection of the engine compartment. (If you need a list of the restrictions, check out the bottom of the second page of this PDF document.)
  5. As long as you have your entire Social Security Number memorized for the test documents, such as your official answer sheet, you will be fine.
  6. First of all, welcome to the Forums! Second, as per the guidelines of the Forums, we ask that everyone "post in the relevant forum." Therefore, going forward, if you can please post your questions for B/O Exam 4615 here, it would be truly appreciated. To answer your question: They will be reaching out to you shortly in regard to an admission letter for your exam. Once that is done, depending on the hiring needs of the agency, and how well you do on the exam, you may not hear back from them for another year or two or three, depending on the circumstances. Again, welcome to the Forums!!
  7. First of all, welcome to the Forums! Second, although I did not take Exam 4607 back in November, as of this typing, it is safe to say that the list has not been established. The good news is that, if you check the Active Civil Service List webpage periodically, which you can do by either typing your last name or the exam number into the search box, they update the webpage with your scores and list numbers before they even mail you your official results. In regards to how long it will take to begin the process, it depends on your list number, which is based on how well you did on the examination, and how fast they move through the list, depending on the hiring needs of the agency. Offhand, as per the bottom of page 6 of the Notice of Examination, if you do not have your Commercial Driver License (CDL), do you have your Commercial Learner Permit (CLP)? If you do not have your Commercial Learner Permit (CLP), have you considered checking out cristcdl.com to help you study for your CLP? Just remember that the multiple choice examinations that you need to take and pass, are General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Passenger Endorsement. I would also recommend reading this PDF document as well. Good luck! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
  8. First of all, thank you for tagging me. Second, @Irving Zismannn, welcome to the Forums! According to the top right of the first page of this PDF document, MAB actually stands for MaBSTOA and not MTA Bus Company. Anyways, as previously stated, you applied for a Bus Operator position with both MTA New York City Transit and MaBSTOA. You can read more about the history of MaBSTOA here, and you can find a list of the depots that are served by NYC Transit, MaBSTOA and MTA Bus Company here and here. It is important to note that, according to this webpage, the exams for NYC Transit are Civil Service, while the exams for MaBSTOA and MTA Bus Company are not Civil Service. The reason why I bring this up is because, if you read the Notice of Examination and the job posting carefully, not only will you get called for MaBSTOA sooner, providing you have your Commercial Driver License (CDL) or your Commercial Learner Permit (CLP) with the proper endorsement, but, sometime within the next month or two, you will have to take a Civil Service Examination for the New York City Transit Bus Operator position. Depending on how well you do on the Civil Service Examination will depend on how quickly you get hired as a Bus Operator for New York City Transit. Obviously, just like with everything else in life, there are "Pros" and "Cons" in regards to the Bus Operator positions for New York City Transit and MaBSTOA, respectively. Finally, going forward as per the guidelines of the forum, can you please "post in the relevant forum?" The correct forum for Exam 4615 for the Bus Operator position for New York City Transit can be found here, and the correct forum for the Bus Operator position for MaBSTOA can be found here. Again, welcome to the forums!
  9. First of all, welcome to the Forums! Please do not apologize, since, from my perspective, no question is ever a dumb question! To answer your question, it is definitely too soon to hear back. Providing you utilized your "Candidate's Record of Answers," the proposed answer key will eventually be published on this webpage, in which you can initially find out how you did. Providing you passed the exam with a 70% or better, it takes anywhere from 6 to 12 months, maybe longer, to put together the Civil Service List. Obviously, if you got a 100% on the exam, your name will be towards the top of the list, and if you got a 70% or slightly above, your name will be towards the bottom. Although the agency will mail you your official score and list number, if you're anxious to find out this information as soon as the list is published, I would encourage you to type your last name into the search box of this website. Just keep in mind that, since Exams 4607, 4608 and 4609 were administered before Exam 4610, those lists will be established first before the list for Exam 4610, respectively. Once the list is published, and you receive your list number, then you will have a better idea of when you will hear back regarding a job offer, depending on how quickly they move through the lists. Just keep in mind that the Civil Service List is normally active for four [4] years. I say "normally" because sometimes, the agency does not hire off of the list as soon as it is published, and sometimes they extend the list by a year or two depending on the circumstances. Again, welcome to the Forums!
  10. As per the guidelines of the Forums, if we can please stay "on-topic," it would be truly appreciated. If this conversation continues, regardless of where the word "retail" came from, disciplinary action will be coming, respectively. Thank you.
  11. Have you considered emailing examsunit@nyct.com? That's what I would do... Good luck and welcome to the Forums!!
  12. This is going to be a master thread/topic for the three [3] NYC Transit (also known as "TA") Civil Service Examinations that will be administered during the following time periods as of this typing: Exam # 4615 - April 1st to April 30th, 2024 Exam # 4616 - May 1st to May 31st, 2024 Exam # 4617 - June 1st to June 30th, 2024 While the Notice of Examination can be viewed here, which includes information on how to apply online, if you need more information in regards to having a Commercial Driver License (CDL) or a Commercial Learner Permit (CLP), click here. Just note that, unlike the Bus Operator Positions for MTA Bus Company and/or MaBSTOA, you need to have your CDL or CLP by the time of appointment, compared to when you submit your online application for the position. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Happy Posting!!
  13. You're more than welcome! In preparation for the 10-Day Training Session out of Zerega, have you started to get familiar with the invaluable handouts? In addition, if you have to take your CDL road test, have you considered looking at the various YouTube videos as well? (Just note that, although you will be utilizing the New Flyer buses in lieu of the retired Orion buses, the majority of the material is similar to what you will be doing.) Good luck!!
