B/O 4600 Hiring Process

[hockeyplayer9]

Okay folks, I have just learned that Empire Exam Services that they will be offering another class for Bus Operator Exam 4600 on Saturday, December 7th, 2013. The class begins at 9 AM, doors should be open at 8:30 AM. The cost for this is $75.00 per person, with a lesson plan & material included. All you need to bring is a calculator (to help you with some mathematics), a pen or pencil, a sweater (incase the heat does not work, which has happened in the past) and either lunch OR money to purchase food across the street at the deli.

 

The class will be held at 8515 101st Avenue, Ozone Park, N.Y. 10416. If you look on Google Maps, this is easily accessible from the 88th Street Station along the line.

 

For more information, email mtanycexamclass@gmail.com

 I emailed them and waiting to hear back. Do you pay when you get there or in advance? Thanks....

the reason why I said I don't recommend that book is because I bought that book, and ive  looked through it, then 2 weeks after I found out about the mta exam class and I went ,and theres hardly anything alike ,plus I asked questions at the instructor at the class and he said those books is not the questions that will be in the exam is different plus they old, and now that I have my booklet from the class ,its true, the booklet is like 35 to 40 dollars  class is 75 , what you prefer,ohh and the booklet the class gives you has maps and headways between buses that you know need to learn that ,so think about it is your choice

[leaniel3209]

wow they are really raising up the prices ,but I think its worth it anyways

ill be taking the exam on December 14th in Brooklyn and im ready

all you need is a basic calculator ,   the instructor had said that there wont be any math on this exam 4600 when I went to the class on nov. 23rd , but in the class you will learn the headways and running time on the buses, and bus schedule plus the booklet they give you to study ,just hope all those questions on the booklet appears on the test in December 14th,hehe

[Syrenity]

Hopefully NO one is trying / going to attempt to memorize the books or booklets they've purchased or will get from these classes as they are only Examples to familiarize you in regards to how the questions are structured on the actual exam.
The actual training is more intense than the exam. However I Know that doesn't apply to everyone some people are not at ease taking exams and sometimes score lower due to anxiety not from lack of Comprehension

Good luck to Everyone taking 4600 on 12-14- 13 As well as on 12-15-13

I would think everyone should have received their admission letter by now. If not, you should go to 180 Livingston Street in Brooklyn and find out what's going on.

Question....Yesterday at the prep exam class, some of the students were stating their admission letter stated the testing hours was an hour long..can anyone confirm?

My admission letter states that the exam is going to be an hour and a half long (aka 90 minutes). I would not be surprised in a way if it is going to be a short exam (40 Questions), just like the Track Worker exam this past year, in an effort to get more candidates for the position.

It says on the fourth line from the top of the General Instructions category: "The test will last 1.5 hours."
