IronboundNJT Posted February 1, 2012 Share #179 Posted February 1, 2012 I'm # 14539. Like everyone here from the start I knew how the MTA was gonna handle this it was in the NOE after all. But then and still even now I ask how and when will this "exam" become "open competitive"? My insanely high list # is bothersome to me bcuz it said that. Im 14539 not bcuz I bombed some kind of placement exam but bcuz those digits were on the balloons that popped when the MTA was playing darts. Life goes on I know but Like very one I had to drop 61 bucks on it whIch as of right now doesn't feel like money well spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mass production Posted February 1, 2012 Share #180 Posted February 1, 2012 From the look of some peoples reply of there notices of the exam I don't understand why some are in the high thousands, and some like me are in the very low thousands. This exam is way different then the exam I took for NYCT back in April of 2008. Its the luck of a draw for all of us...I wish everyone good luck whatever random# you have.

They are not talking about TA test where there is an actual exam. they are talking about OA list, there is no exam, its a lottery. In 2008 you took a TA exam, you actually answered questions for 2-3 hours, OA is just send the application and wait for the lottery to begin, what ever number you are given is where you will stay until they will call you ( if they will call you ) .

BZGuy Posted February 1, 2012 Share #188 Posted February 1, 2012 Honestly I don't see anybody with a list number above 1500 getting called off of 2301. Just look how slow 8006 has been and remember MTA Bus is smaller. I guess the next hope is the upcoming TA test......myself I've decided to try and get in at Shortline. I'm not gonna take that TA test and get stuck in a all-Local depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted February 1, 2012 Share #189 Posted February 1, 2012 I agree ith BZ I damn sure ain't taking a TA an working blood money in an all local depot. I guess I'll wait for the next T/O test. BZ whatever happened with NJT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna take that TA test and get stuck in a all-Local depot. If it's true as they have in the letter, they are picking in random order when vacancies occur so #1 or #15000 is luck of the draw. Good luck! Then again they did pull in another million$$ :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted February 2, 2012 Share #196 Posted February 2, 2012 Just opened mines; 14,581 lmao. However it says it will schedule applicants in random number order. In other words I'm staying with NJT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZGuy Posted February 2, 2012 Share #197 Posted February 2, 2012 I got mine today....17506. Which means I'm stuck at "Pots and Pans" unless I get in somewhere else.I knew this was gonna be a huge list but did'nt expect it to be this huge. I was really looking forward to picking into College Point. I've already gotten my apps for Shortline,DeCamp and Lakeland. I'm gonna keep hammering NJT also, but I think I have to move to Jersey before I'll get considered. Congrats to those who got low list numbers!

Locomotion69 Posted February 2, 2012 Share #198 Posted February 2, 2012 Does it matter or not if you got a low list number? I am under the impression that they are going to "randomly" select list numbers for the next step(BOSS). Or do they start with 01, 02......:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted February 3, 2012 Share #199 Posted February 3, 2012 When I read my letter, I basically pictured a bunch of talking monkeys in a room screeching and such while one spins a wheel with all our numbers on it to see who gets the next call.
