Next we will be sent random numbers and after that we will receive letters to show up at livingston for the BOSS exam. These letters are sent in numerical order. Probably first 3000 will receive it to take the boss in a 2 month frame like the 2301 exam.

They said within six months they will send letters to take the BOSS. Around in September 2013. They still doing 2301 I think they ain't going to be finish for awhile. I think its like that with all test you apply you wait six months to take the test or survey. I applied to 2613 and took the test in January. Six month wait.

I Applied For bus operator 3101 i need know if i have to do that too  (If you applied for an MTA NYC Transit, MaBSTOA, or MTA Bus Company exam that required and Education and Experience Test Paper (EETP) and did not submit one when the filing period for that exam was open, please download, complete and mail the attached form. Please note not all exams require and EETP form0

 

Well if you applied for 3101 you didnt need to do no EETP form all they want is your general info and your $$$$. All you gotta do now is wait for your random number>

"They" havent said anything about the 3101 test yet. Filing isnt even over. I took the boss for the 2301 exam, I was one of the first 3000 and it was more than a six month wait. This exam number is not civil service so you cant compare the timeline to it.

So you think civil service take longer or quicker then the random selection?

Applying for either of those exams will not let you choose the bus depots you've mentioned.  If you had applied for exam 2613 (Bus Operator for NYC Transit), which was open to take applicants last year, you'd be able to choose any one of those depots.

With the ta exam atleast you have the chance to do really well and in return receive a good list number. But other than that, it depends on the openings. Ta tend to take longer though. 8006 been up for about 4 years and theyre up to 3500..

 

That list should be expiring this year cause it was establish in 2009. And if they are up to 3500 in 4 years thats letting you know u have to get a low list to be called. Also if the list do expire thats good news for the 2613 test takers.  Did you take the T.A test in january?
