ILLMATIC96SS Posted March 20, 2013 Share #152 Posted March 20, 2013 Hey everyone!!! I just joined this afternoon, I've been reading you guys post over the last couple months, just as anxious as most of you were for the results. As of right now I am a little confused because my proposed key answer for the 2613 test on jan 26th show that I only have 23 questions correct. I refuse to believe that is true. Leaving the test I felt as though that there were many questions that I second guessed, but 57!!! Jeez... Give me a break, I never expected to have performed that poorly... Anyway, so after beating myself up about the low score for about an hour I decided to compare my answers with the Jan 27th proposed key answers... Behold!!! This answer key shows that I only had 16 answers incorrect.. Basically I wanted to ask you guys what your thoughts are regarding this situation, is it possible that I am not the only one here that feels screwed, is it possible that MTA screwed up due to all the rescheduling test dates and make-up test dates?? Does anyone know of a person that actually took the 2613 test on the 27th?? My last thought was that maybe there wasn't really a 27th test date scheduled, but just two different tests given on the same day.. Idk, but I'll take any excuse at this point. Thanks for reading. hey i feel the same way i thought i did alot better on the test iam not looking for any excuses for myself just felt i'd get alot better score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youn2074 Posted March 20, 2013 Share #153 Posted March 20, 2013 RTS4Life That's interesting, because that is the exact location where I took the exam. Doesn't it seem a little weird that I would get so many correct on a test date that I didn't even attend? I'm just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rm3271 Posted March 21, 2013 Share #156 Posted March 21, 2013 I got 8 wrong that adds up to a 90... Does anyone have an idea how long it would take to be called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted March 21, 2013 Share #157 Posted March 21, 2013 I got 25 wrong Just keep in mind that out of 80 questions, each one is worth 1.25 points each. The math should be pretty simple to find out your grade, as long as you have a calculator handy, either physically or on the computer or online...

64cavemen Posted March 22, 2013 Share #161 Posted March 22, 2013 i got 15 or 16 wrongDidn't you say you got called down to 180 Livingston st. from the 8006 exam? How's that working out for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64cavemen Posted March 22, 2013 Share #162 Posted March 22, 2013 According to the proposed answer key posted for the test given on the 26th. I got 14 incorrect. If this is official that puts me at 82.5%. I'm disappointed as I felt I may have done a little better than that. Anyhow it got scary for me as I was marking/comparing my answers because in the first half (40 questions) I had gotten 11 wrong! That put me at 72.5%. I was saying OHHHH NOOO!!!! THEN!!! In the second part (the next 40 questions) I got only 3 wrong for a 92.5%. I began to feel a little relief. But you can't imagine how I felt when I first started scoring the first 40 questions! Ending with a combined total of 82.5%. Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted March 22, 2013 Share #163 Posted March 22, 2013 I got 8 wrong that adds up to a 90... Does anyone have an idea how long it would take to be called? Using the information that was provided in post # 130 of this topic, it took NYC Transit about 4 years to get to list number 3514 (give/take a couple of months). Therefore, if we do 3514 divided by 4 (for the four years), we can assume that NYC Transit calls about 880 people per year (again, this depends on the hiring needs). Therefore, @Rm3271, it depends on your list number. If you scored high, you will get a low list number and probably get called sooner. If you scored low (like 71.25), you will have to wait four years before they call you. I am assuming that in July NYC Transit will mail all of us our final scores and list numbers. From there, we just have to be patient...just like with other things in life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Gaysinsky Posted March 23, 2013 Share #164 Posted March 23, 2013 Which location did you take the exam?

How's that working out for you? i did, Monday i start training. i took 2613 ta because i was afraid that they wouldn't get to my number Using the information that was provided in post # 130 of this topic, it took NYC Transit about 4 years to get to list number 3514 (give/take a couple of months).

Rm3271 Posted March 23, 2013 Share #165 Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for the info... I've been driving a transit bus on Long Island for the past 12 years of which 11 were for the former MTA Long Island Bus that was disbanned on 12/31/11 and presently work for the operator that took over for them, NICE Bus Company. Along with the MTA leaving Long Island, so did my NYS pension. My goal is to get back into the MTA family to continue with my pension... I have spoken to a couple of people within the system and have been told that with my score of 90 I'm probably looking at the end of the first year the list is established to be called.... Good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64cavemen Posted March 24, 2013 Share #166 Posted March 24, 2013 I've heard NYC Transit Authority has a 40 month policy on any issues on your license that would disqualify your opportunity to drive for them (4 points max). Now this is just something I've heard. (I already know you have the opportunity to decline any offer at the time they may get around to you then place yourself back onto the list once the issue has cleared up)...BUT I'm not talking about that! What I'm curious about is this 40 month policy I'm hearing about. I know the DMV has a 36 month policy for any discrepancy pertaining to you license to clear. But this 40 moths with TA??? If anyone has any solid information on this please post. (DO NOT ASSUME WHAT WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH IN ACCORDANCE TO DMV in regards/ reference to the 36 months). Also...I would like to know...does any issues needing to clear follow/begin from the date of the ticket offense or does it follow the date of conviction??? Not that I have anything to worry about but I am much curious about these questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycpips Posted March 24, 2013 Share #169 Posted March 24, 2013 I took this test Jan 12th and had 10 wrong, so a score of 87.50. Seems to be a pretty solid score. Should be first group called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Young+ Posted March 24, 2013 Share #171 Posted March 24, 2013 anyone know when will get the official results in the mail ? I am assuming six months after the exam was given, so July/August of 2013. By that time the all-important 'List' will be produced as well for us to view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got an 80 something on this exam... which exquates to a late call back if they even do call me back At 1.25 points for each question, 1.25 times 20 equals 25. Therefore, you got a 75 on the exam...definitely a late call back. From what I heard in the past, they will call you, it will just be a matter of time...
