MTAhopefullMatt Posted September 14, 2016 Share #5559 Posted September 14, 2016 @Ammo, you can do it. Memorize everything you've been told. Practice the movements and steps they've taught you. At home alone if you have to. You've got this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amm0 Posted September 14, 2016 Share #5560 Posted September 14, 2016 Yea I have been doing that it's that midterm and final got us nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTAhopefullMatt Posted September 14, 2016 Share #5561 Posted September 14, 2016 The best way to think of a practical exam is like you're performing. An actor on a stage. You should know the material as well as an actor knows his part. That way you can answer TSS questions if they try to interrupt you, than get back to what you need to do. Sort of like how an actor can improvise if he flubs a line or his partner in a scene forgets her lines, or there's some technical problem with the set. The good thing about the conductor written tests is that you will pass with 80% correct, so if you really know your stuff you have a little breathing room if you freeze on a question or two. Train operators need to score perfectly on signals exam, by contrast, and I've known several T/Os who've failed the program when they got more than 80% of the test questions correct. 1-3 questions wrong. It doesn't often happen, but the fact that it does occur is probably the most stressful thing about T/O school car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprashad0719 Posted September 14, 2016 Share #5562 Posted September 14, 2016 Ammo, don't worry bro, youll do fine on the practicals, the TSS are there to help you and pass...you will get 2 TSS from another class that will do your practical ..this is where people get nervous..take your time ...is the first practical cutting doors? as for the midterm and final...there is no other job that will give you the answers to these test ..except mta..lol...

JMA1982 Posted September 14, 2016 Share #5564 Posted September 14, 2016 Nice, JMA how many drug test did you take? BTW happy for you man, God willing the rest of us make it through. I took 2 drug tests. There's a reason why they do that. Thank you, bro. You'll do fine. We're three weeks in & I was assigned to a good crew thank God. JMA, you wanted the A Div? did you guys pick? Yeah but got the B because it was filled up before I could get to it. I'm just gonna wait a few years and then maybe hopefully I can get it.

Lol HappyGoLucky, congrats on your accomplishments so far. Do you remember what they ask you to do for your FIRST practical. Cause we were told there's key thing we have to check for and do. For example they say it common people forget to check is the curcit breaker, that they intentionally trip. If u can please tell me what they said to you and what u did on your practical. I was also told they give us 30 min. Did they double zone your train? Did u have to reset your EPV? Did you have to cut a faulty door? What's did you notice on your cad that day? Thanks I'm just nervous for what's coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
