Chris Frusci Posted March 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2008 KDAN: I am thw rong person to be answering this, but I can tell you this. The bus operator ARCO EXAM BOOK was nothing like the test. It was completely different. Thats all I can say. Sometimes they don't update the exam books quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted March 21, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 21, 2008 So I guess I'm the right man to answer.lOL. In any case the Last T/O Exam was nothing like the passbook which I also got. The real Exam was not that hard it was Reading Comp. then answer the question. The passbook was on point when I took the Property Protection and Conductor Exam. As of now there is no talk about when the next T/O exam will be given they have a big list of T/O's to call. Those waiting to be called for T/O they are still strong in hiring. They are starting a new class every 4 to 5 Months since the Instuctors can only do so many classes at a time. The average classes coming out are between 30to 90 Student T/O's. Conductors Exam: They still calling they got a new classes in school car. I am waiting for the crew office to mess up and send a New T/O & C/R down the road together.

DOB2RTO Posted March 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 22, 2008 OK i just got my Motorman passbook in the mail i want to start studying for the exam.But my question is, is the book and everything in it the same thing as the real exam..or is this just a study guide for me to look over before the test??? Dave is right. But what it does, is mentally prepare you what to look for on the exam. The actual exam, you ready a paragraph, and pick out the best answer. The book helped me be mentally prepared, and focused on what to look for. The book I had also had signs, signals, car lengths, and brake/straight air pipe stuff. This stuff you might need down the road. So it isn't a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBob Posted March 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2008 A friend of mine took that test in 2004...........did a list ever come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB2RTO Posted March 25, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 25, 2008 A friend of mine took that test in 2004...........did a list ever come out? A fellow B/O from KB took that test, and went down last week for it. He declined it though. At top pay, a B/O does make more than a C/R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted March 25, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 25, 2008 A fellow B/O from KB took that test, and went down last week for it. He declined it though. At top pay, a B/O does make more than a C/R. So after all the progressions and all, a B/O is more off than a C/R. Would've never figured that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted March 27, 2008 Share #9 Posted March 27, 2008 Yeah C/R is lower then a B/O and B/O is lower then a T/O by $1 an hour. However if your a C/R in Construction Flagging you would make more then a Bus Operator since then get paid more an hour and lots of Overtime flagging in those G.O's.
