Trying to get a few POI....Just wish it would be simple city locations, but you never know.

Thank you!!

Just got back. What an easy test. Total common sense test based on passages, etc. It was 2 hours, 60 questions. I studied landmarks, points of interest, DMV/CDL rules like crazy for nothing. I guess they need a lot of people cause most people should score high on it. There was a question or two that was worded strange and didn't have a decent answer in my opinion. Anyway, answer key will be posted January 23 2014 on www.mta.info.

 

For those taking it tomorrow, don't assume what our test will be yours. It should be similar, but you never know. Good luck, although if it's like ours, you won't even need it.

Agreed the test was easier than expected , I was already prepared but I didn't really need what I was studying, it was only 60 questions.  Now I just have to wait to hear back for my results.  S Good Luck to anyone that has taken it and is taking it later.

[MasterKhem]

Now I just feel for those who paid for that class. What a waste of 70 federal notes.

[Manwell]

This was a very easy exam common sense is all you need. Reading comprehension and basic work relation ethics. For those out of state applicants like myself that mainly feared landmarks questions should have no worries.

[newcareermta4600]

4600 test! Was way easier than the study material I just mad I took to much time on the first 10 map questions.... Was able to finish the whole test the rest of the 50 questions basic logic. Good luck to all!!

Does anyone know when the train operator test is coming out?

Does anyone know when the train operator test is coming out?

Great question because the last one was in 09. I just qualified day 7 for BO but I will take the the next train op test because their starting pay is a BO top pay.

Now I just feel for those who paid for that class. What a waste of 70 federal notes.

 

Not really because I took the class, and they even said that they don't know exactly what's going to be on there, so its not really a waste fo money, its just being prepared for the worst.

[isaelperez81]

This test was a joke. I cannot wait for the results. 60 questions done in 38 minutes.and I checked it twice

Good luck to those whom took the test...  

[isaelperez81]

Lots of reading comprehension. Almost more than 1/3 of the questions. Make sure to read the map accordingly. The copies are not clear and hard to read some of the fine print of street names and land marks/business.  See everyone in the next step. Now I need the info on the boss to study for. 

 

Those who think the study class was a waste, its still great info to help you out in the future pertaining to the job.

 

Cant wait to drive.

[newcareermta4600]

My advice on the map questions, do them last takes up to much time and hard to read the map rest of the test is good. use logic

[mastap123]

the test was too easy if i don't get a hundred i can beat myself ,good luck to everyone who took the test today

[MasterKhem]

I am enjoying reading everyone's comments. This test may as well have been a lemon cake with chocolate frosting on top and each of us given a slice. That made me want some. Hehe. I think a majority of us passed!!!

[leaniel3209]

what should be the passing score if only 60 questions ?

[newcareermta4600]

Passing is 70 from what I've read. I think a lot of people pass this one. Also heard mta needs b /o due to retirements in next few years. Would anyone know or have an idea what would be the minimum you could get wrong to pass this exam?

Well, you need a 70 to pass the exam, which means a minimum of 42 correct answers (since 42 divided by 60 equals 0.70, convert that to a percentage would equal 70%) to pass the exam. In order to pass the exam, you must have 18 wrong answers max.

 

When comparing your answers to the proposed answer key online, each question is worth 1 & 2/3 points (since 100 divided by 60 = 1.67). Therefore, multiply the number of correct answers you have times 1.67 (or 1.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666667, depending on how many decimal places your calculator can hold) to get your score. Don't forget to round to two places (eg 87.50, 91.25, etc).
