DNicetothefullest21 Posted June 9, 2013 Share #205 Posted June 9, 2013 I just got a letter to saying to take the BOSS for exam 2613 on the 22nd at James Madison HS. I'm thinking this is 3101. I just don't get it why we have to take two test. I already got a good score why they have this BOSS exam AND what happens if you fail this. I understand its a survey I have feeling they hiding something. One more thing I thought TA don't do BOSS exams only MTA Bus, MaBStoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE77 Posted June 9, 2013 Share #206 Posted June 9, 2013 What i dont understand is how people got BOSS exam letters but we didnt get our officials scores or list numbers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmoney2g8 Posted June 9, 2013 Share #207 Posted June 9, 2013 That is kind of strange boss exam before we get the official results and a list number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE77 Posted June 9, 2013 Share #208 Posted June 9, 2013 Maybe its moving quickly because exam 8006 was given in 2008 and should be expiring this year. I dont believe it was another test given after that one for the TA. I think our test is the next in line they will hire from. I know a guy from my job who applied for 2301- mabstoa- and that was in 2011 and he just took his BOSS exam like a month ago. im just surprised we got our letters for the BOSS exam 5 months after the test thats pretty quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy from my job said its nothing hard they ask you the same question like 4-5 times in different ways to see if your answer change its like a mini psych test with 75 question ex: Do you think its ok to be late to work even if you ran into traffic? a.agree b.strongly agree c.disagree d.strongly disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE77 Posted June 9, 2013 Share #210 Posted June 9, 2013 Can someone answer this question was there any exam given for bus op after exam 8006 which was given in 2008? i know mabstoa gave some but im only talking about transit authority. If it was the last exam transit gave thats good news for us who took 2613. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a question like do you think its ok to be late to work should always be strongly disagree but some people believe it or not will put a different answer and why would they want to hire a person that think like that. and your right it prolly is subjective like i said its a mini psych exam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTS4Life Posted June 12, 2013 Share #213 Posted June 12, 2013 Good Luck to all with the boss. The boss is a pre-employment screening survey it is base on you, on how you answer the questions. Now MTA wants everyone to take the boss survey before a list will be made. Because before they would make a list and call the people down to do everything. When it was time to take the boss a lot of people could not pass it. So MTA would have to keep trying to find the right people.Which = A lot of money. Now the person with a high score must think he/she is a head of the game when now it's can end. So remember there is about 75 questions they will ask the same question over and over about 3-5 times and reword them. remember the key is to take your time and read the question before you answer. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64cavemen Posted June 12, 2013 Share #214 Posted June 12, 2013 I contacted MTA exams division and they told me I don't have to take the BOSS exam for the 2613 because I already passed the BOSS exam when I took it for the 2301exam back in December. So I believe its transferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Ok that clear my question to why we got the lettter to take boss survey before we recieved our score and list number. rts4life can you or anyone answer was their a test after exam 8006 in 2008? Cause if not exam 2613 will be the next test TA will hire from which is good because exam 8006 expire in aug this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTS4Life Posted June 13, 2013 Share #216 Posted June 13, 2013 remember you still have exam 2801,2901 and they don't expire til 2015 and OA can go into TA depot now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTS4Life Posted June 13, 2013 Share #217 Posted June 13, 2013 If you took the BOSS already and it's been under a year you don't have to go and take it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyAcarino Posted June 15, 2013 Share #218 Posted June 15, 2013 if i already took exam 2613 should i also take the next one in august? Exam 4600? or you cant do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE77 Posted June 15, 2013 Share #219 Posted June 15, 2013 if i already took exam 2613 should i also take the next one in august? Exam 4600? or you cant do that? Yes you can do that i took 2613 and applied for 3101 and imma take 4600 because you never know. The more you take the better your chances. Take all these test because they will soon not be given any for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that exam 2613 was given back in January of 2013, however I disagree with the fact that exam 4600 will be given in August. According to the website, August is the time to apply for the exam.
