Does anyone know what list number they’re up? And how long after OPA to medical if you pass? 

If you looked in the past couple pages, you would've saw that someone who was 63XX was just hired a few days ago.

Anyone had to have their name restored to the list? How long did it take? Once restored will you just be called in for another drug test followed by the medical. Thanks for the help. 

I know someone who restored his name back in May. Another person here restored their name back in April. Right now it's a waiting game to see when Transit will request a new certified list to bring them back.

Are you saying the person restored in May hasn't been called for another drug test yet? How often does transit request a certified list? Guess it'll be a long wait.

Took the OPA on Tuesday ….I went through both parts. When do l find out if I psss or was successful.

 

Maybe it changed since I did it, but you k ow you passed when you left. The OPA is pretty common sense and you’ll know if you passed or failed. 
 

In part one they play radio recordings and you answer questions based on what you hear. 
in part two they give you a bunch of pictures and ask you what you would do. 
 

When I took the OPA they then handed me a packed requesting more information from me and said they’d be in touch. 
 

I also got a letter in the mail that said I passed.

Nice I took mine last wed and i think it's 3 to 6 month waiting period. You also could call the exam unit not sure what the number is and maybe find out if you pass or fail

if you’re unsure if you passed or fail, I’d keep an eye out for a letter in the mail. 

What do you mean ? The instructor lets you know right then and there???

They had us do the first part on a scantron and didnt grade it. Everyone had to stay to do part 2 then we were instructed to leave and look out for an email.

Got my name restored back on 4/19 due to not showing up for medical, but didn't show up since I didn't have enough data to clear my med hold(from my first medical appt) at that time smh. Still waiting and Ohla said to keep waiting when I called her a month ago. Gonna try again next week. List# 34xx.

The current list requested 500 vacancies back in March. The previous one also requested 500 and that one started last year in August '21 so it looks like seven months. So hopefully, we'll hear something in October.

Not sure what you mean by wait on a call. As Comrade96 alluded to and per the instructional sheet they should've given you, you are allowed additional time to drink more water and try again when you're ready.

I think you have to go see a doctor if you couldn't produce enough urine for the test. It doesn't seem to be something you can just come back in and do. They instruct you to drink water and wait. If you couldn't produce a urine sample it seems a doctor has to certify that you have a medical condition which prevents you from producing sufficient urine. They should have let you drink water and try again. But maybe I'm wrong. Why didn't you drink a lot of water before the test?
