Gotta take the 2nd part of my medical with drug tests and then background test and just wait to figure out if I'm in the class starting in April or the class starting in August ! What’s up.

LinkyOG Posted March 4, 2023 Share #2478 Posted March 4, 2023 Thank You Bro hopefully I can shadow you in the future,run some trains with you or something, a lot of the stuff you've shared has helped tremendously !!! So our class started with 36 people, the biggest phase 1 class they ever had, people were dropping every week, we got down 20 people and 17 of us passed. Dedication and Discipline bro no matter what, I can't think of a sound worse than that Velcro ripping open on the rule book LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleZ Posted March 7, 2023 Share #2479 Posted March 7, 2023 I’m taking the cognitive test, math, vocabulary tomorrow. Any advice? Phase 1 is also definitions/signals correct? I’m nervous for tomorrow. What’s the process like tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of helpful stuff in these 90+ pages. My advice would be just take your time and carefully read what they want answered. If you have math involved, then it’s for assistant conductor position. Engineers doesn’t include math. Phase 1 is not signals and definition. It’s the Operating Rules. Signals and def is the next step after cognitive test. For AC there is no phases. Only for Engineers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgrimes Posted March 7, 2023 Share #2481 Posted March 7, 2023 Does anyone know how deep the background check goes? Will they call every single job going back 10 years, or is there a method where they can pull up work records? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you already got invited for the open house and are talking about the cognitive exam. But if you just applied and it says pre screening. Just wait for an email or keep checking if the status changes. What kind of questions are on the cognitive exam? I'm kind of nervous lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwetoddit Posted March 14, 2023 Share #2492 Posted March 14, 2023 Congrats to those moving on to phase 2. Life changer. I’m sure Dre has said this, but keep up on what you have already learned. They are only going to add to it and you don’t want to be play catch up. I’m going on 2 years qualified and I still think of the definitions and indications as I operate. It all matters and plays a role on day to day operations. See you out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep studying. You never know. If anyone in doesn’t doesn’t pass the medical or background check. Pretty sure they lll start calling others asap to fill the class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
