Locomotion69 Posted July 18, 2012 Share #276 Posted July 18, 2012 If I were you I would take the BOSS for MTA Bus exam #2301 on the 31st if they still haven't contacted you for the medical/ final processing from the 8006 list. You have one of the lowest list numbers from this forum. If I remember correctly the drug test expires after 30 days for B/O applicants, then you have to retake it again.

Qboro41 Posted July 21, 2012 Share #277 Posted July 21, 2012 How was the BOSS exam? Any sample questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptyler Posted July 24, 2012 Share #278 Posted July 24, 2012 How was the BOSS exam? Any sample questions The BOSS was pretty easy. It's 75 questions and just tell them what they want to hear. You can not fail this test if your sane. I took it the 17th. So now just waiting for them to tell me if I passed or not. I'm not trying to count my eggs before they hatch. I just hope we get in there this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either insane or you have to be an idiot to fail the Boss, they aren't going to send you a notice in the mail that you passed. I don't know if they notify you if you failed though. I assume that you have a very low list number if you already took the Boss, so the next step will be the pre employment letter to come into 180 Livingston St and to take a drug/alcohol test. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomotion69 Posted July 25, 2012 Share #281 Posted July 25, 2012 yes my #802. the wait is wrecking though. I'm keeping a positive attitude though. Thank you for the luck. Good luck to you as well. Hopefully we be in the same class. You have a great list number. My list number for exam 2301 is in outer space(11,500's). I may get the notice for the boss sometime next year. Is there a way to find out the status of the list? established date, etc. This exam wasn't administered by DCAS so calling the automated number isn't going to help. I know that they are still using the previous MTA Bus list, but does anybody know when that list expires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acela Express Posted July 31, 2012 Share #298 Posted July 31, 2012 The test was a personality test.. i just answered truthfully... i did not get called yet keeping my fingers crossed.. good luck Guy's And that's why they might've not called you back. That psychological exam is to see if you're smart enough to answer what they want to hear, not what's the truth, per se. Most folks need to use their common sense when answering... Think about it - why is MTA asking all these dumb ass questions in the first place? There you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it - why is MTA asking all these dumb ass questions in the first place? There you go. Actually its typically to see if the person is consistant with their answers. Cuz its mostly those dumbass questions rephrased over and over. I've yet to be turned away from a job from being honest like josh 316 but I have heard ppl being told they failed and say "I dont understand I told them them what they wanted to hear" So to John 316 MTA just probably waiting to test more ppl not to mention the TA testing starts in Jan so who knows how they wanna do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
