The first problem with the BOSS exam are the people taking it. They give you MORE than enough time to triple check your answers. Its not that many questions. I read everything 3 times and I changed my answers because I picked up on a couple of key things.

 

1- They ask you many of the same questions, they just re-word the question

2- It was basically common sense. When they ask you how you feel about someone who calls in sick, you don't want to say you think its ok.

3- There really was no right answer. There were just 1 or 2 "wrong" answers. In other words, if you pick A, B and D then thats acceptable. If you pick C then you got it wrong.

 

Thats was what I meant by saying "it is almost impossible to fail". So after reading this why do you think people fail? Not because they are stupid, but because they didn't take the time out to read everything over and over and over and over and over.

 

Good luck to those taking the BOSS exam in the future.

 

 

Chris, sir

You are a humanitarian, maybe even in the wrong business.

You are definitely going North when the time comes.

Thanks Manny for giving us a couple of questions from the BOSS exam. Do you know how high the #2801 list is? We will soon find out our scores from exam #8006(2-3 weeks). Do they publish the scores or the eligibles list on the Chief civil service newspaper?

This is where to check when they post the key answers: http://mta.info/nyct/hr/answerkeys.htm

 

They do not publish the eligible lists or scores in the chief newspaper. You will be mailed that info.....

hey GIMMECKS. Ive been great. My first "official" day on my own is tomorrow. The job is good. I really can't complain about the job. Except for today, it rained. It rained while I was working. So I guess I could complain about the weather maybe?

 

I'm doing good. I moved out of my house. On my own now. How about you? How are you holding up? 2180, yea thats CRAZY close. Your going in very soon.

 

HANG IN THERE!!!

 

Congrats on moving out. Now you can have all the chicks over w/out worrying about the parents being around. LOL.

What have your hours been like since you went on your own?

Guys, just to clear it up... I have no idea why anyone would have thought going North meant being Canadian. I meant Chris was going North to the big Depot in the sky when the time comes for doing everyone a favor on these forums. Canada had nothing to do with it. I've been to Montreal with the Ranger fan club years ago... The women were gorgeous. Enough said. ;)

I am the only one who said Canada. Guess you don't know me well enough to know I joke on here. I know you meant the land of milk and honeys. Canada was a joke, and I think it went over Chris's head also........

 

 

I am not just a miserable B/O, I'm also a joker........
