The test is verbatim with every word ,period, comma and etc must be written exactly as they have it written down . Everything.. Good Luck and study ,study and more study.

CGeorge Posted April 2, 2014 Author #6 Posted April 2, 2014 As stated above STUDY STUDY... listen to the instructors and i suggest making flash cards. Youll only make it if you put in the time and study.

wilammh0lla Posted October 17, 2014 #16 Posted October 17, 2014 STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY and did I say study. i have been.. do you know the format they will give?
LIRR 154 Posted October 17, 2014 #17 Posted October 17, 2014 i have been.. do you know the format they will give? You will be given a signal and definition packet and you will go over it with your class.
wilammh0lla Posted October 17, 2014 #18 Posted October 17, 2014 You will be given a signal and definition packet and you will go over it with your class. so will you be tested on that day ?
LIRR 154 Posted October 17, 2014 #19 Posted October 17, 2014 so will you be tested on that day ? No , 3 weeks to study.
wilammh0lla Posted October 18, 2014 #20 Posted October 18, 2014 No , 3 weeks to study. really..i thought it was another test.. i basically studied the whole booklet i received.. i know the definitions will be verbatim but are the signals verbatim as well?
LIRR 154 Posted October 18, 2014 #21 Posted October 18, 2014 Everything is verbatim. Now don't quote me. But when I went for Yardmaster during the sig and def overview there was no test. So I don't know if they do it different for conductor. Be prepared to be on the safe side and good luck. We could be co workers later on down the road.

Hopefully it's just an overview
CGeorge Posted October 27, 2014 Author #23 Posted October 27, 2014 STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY and did I say study. I felt i had to quote this again. If you think you've studied enough, study more. Your hard work will pay off. When they say verbatim, it is verbatim. No exceptions. Good luck.
wilammh0lla Posted November 3, 2014 #24 Posted November 3, 2014 does anyone know the format of the test.. they just said it will be 50 questions.. how many defs? signals? etc..
CGeorge Posted November 4, 2014 Author #25 Posted November 4, 2014 does anyone know the format of the test.. they just said it will be 50 questions.. how many defs? signals? etc.. You won't know what will be on the test so you need to learn whatever they gave you and pass at 80%. Combination of s&d and did we already mention "verbatim"? Good luck...
