Exam 6601 Conductor 6601 Hiring Process

[RedViper90]

So why don't u follow her footsteps and become a cop?

 

Very simple; I don't want to be a cop. That's not a career I would choose for myself or that I'm interested in. You have to WANT to be a cop.

Agreed. I myself thought about becoming a cop at one point in time, but having bad experiences and dealing with the harassment on the other end, put me away. It's also a very stressful environment where you're basically putting your life on the line everyday. Like RedViper said, you'd have to want to be a cop. It's a great career move for someone who's out of the military though.

Just an FYI...in approximately 1 week the answer keys should be released on MTA's website!!!! I'm looking forward to comparing my answers!!

[MTAhopefullMatt]

When should we get our scores? I'm much more interested in the final official score (and above all, the list number) than the raw score.

 

The raw score is helpful, but won't they eliminate some questions and change some answers before they issue the final score?

I know this is nitpicky, but does anyone know at about what time approximately they release the answer key?  I'll be traveling that day, so it would be useful to know exactly when they go up.

Idk but I'll be checking the mta site regularly. Your best bet would be to check after 5pm.

We should receive the actual scores by mail with list numbers from MTA. I'm not sure of an exact time though

From what I've noticed in the past, the answer key usually releases in the morning

4am and no key is up yet unless im looking in the wrong place. How many can we get wrong and still expect a call back?

[mattfutureconductor5]

Hello, i cnt wait,the only place to get it , it going to mta building. Online have to be release after noon. Hopefully

Dod anybody grade theirs?

[RedViper90]

Looks like they're not really on top of their website. If you're that anxious to get your score then just head over to 180 Livingston St. Waiting is the name of this game.

[candorgreen]

I just got back from 180 Livingston.  According to the security guard at the front desk, they're not posting the answer key there in the lobby until Monday.  I asked him when the answer key was going to be posted on the website and he said, "This afternoon."  I asked him when this afternoon and he said, "Check around 4pm."  There was no one else around I could ask about this, so all I have is what the front desk security guard told me.

When do they establish the list?  How many conductors have they typically hired on a annual basis from previous lists?

Well I hope that guard was correctly informed.

That's the million-dollar question. I hope they hire a lot of us. Isn't the MTA opening up new trains and routes? Shouldn't we also consider promotions, opening up more spots for new Conductors?

[RedViper90]

Crap. I got 3 wrong. Looks like it was those questions with "more than one answer". I wonder if they will change it.

[mattfutureconductor5]

73-80=91%

Not sure how mta will grade it

This will likely be hired ????????????

[dac9050]

Me too. But at least you pass, they may still hired you.

There is a chance but will be longer.

[CTK246]

2 wrong, rounds up to 98%. Good enough?

Who knows.

 

Protest session is on the 12th. Who knows how effective that might be...maybe they'll change 1 or 2 of those tricky ones. I'll be checking again after that date but for now, I guess I'm ok with 3 wrong.

[dac9050]

As anyone been to any of the other MTA protest sessions? Are you able to see an actual test booklet from that day to verify the answers you got.
