Exam 6601 Conductor 6601 Hiring Process

[tdevon2012]

From what I am hearing exam 8094 is done. Supposedly they are hiring off the promotional list.

[MTAhopefullMatt]

I've been trying to locate that promotional list. I can't find it. Is it public record?

 

I wanted to know roughly how many people passed the promotional list in order to estimate how long it might take before they start calling from the open competitive list.

[simonbush]

It's not public record. Expect 6601 to be established in about 2 years.

How far back on your driving record can the MTA go?

How far back on your driving record can the MTA go?

 

They have access to your abstract, therefore the answer is three [3] years as far as the negative stuff is concerned, like accidents, points, tickets, etc.

For $7.00, you can actually view and print your own abstract right off your desktop/laptop/smart phone, etc. Click here for more information.

Chances are that if it's not on your abstract, then you're good to go.

does anyone remember if this exam required to be nyc resident?

 

i wish i had the noe for this exam, does anyone have that also ?

[NYCguy2020]

@niku NO, NY residency isn't required

Speeding ticket should be off of your abstract if it happened 8 years ago, though driving a taxi at the same time, I don't know how that works with the TLC and all. I had a speeding ticket as well around 04 and my abstract is a blank page now.

Can anyone provide any guidance about how many classes of promotionals will likely be held before they start calling from this list?

 

And when do they anticipate issuing the list, anyway?

 

I know there's nothing official or certain, I'm just trying to get some more info.

[SubwayGuy]

Of course not. Any post to that effect would be pure blind speculation. The promo list hasn't even been established yet. It's impossible to speculate on how people did on the test until the results come out. Then at least you'll have a ballpark of how many people would need to be considered before they'll move on to the OC list.

If you're moderating a ghost town it doesn't make sense to further isolate the 1 of 10 people posting here over a comment that literally hurt no one

[simonbush]

So it looks like 33,000 people took this test. I would say that to get a call for the job you will need to score at least a 98

its been almost close to a year, how come no list has been established yet =(

They're probably and most likely not done either with the previous open-competitive exam (8094) or the promotional list. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to establish this list, since it's initially valid for four [4] years, which can be extended to a total of six [6] years, depending on the conditions when the time comes.

[MTAhopefullMatt]

@Young, thanks for the explanation.

That does make sense.

No reason to start the clock before they're ready to process people from the list.

 

Which brings to mind another line of inquiry, how many people are on the promotional list, and what percentage of people typically take the promotion if offered to them?

 

Thanks to the experienced people for providing some guidance to those of us trying to get on. Fundamentally the list will issue when Transit decides they're ready. They won't be rushed.

You're welcome.

They last group out of 8094 will be done by the end of the month. Next month they will move onto the promotional list. So we still have some waiting to do. We haven't even gotten list numbers yet which is usually when they will start calling people off the list. Meanwhile keep your health in order and stay out of trouble. Take care of your parking or traffic tickets. Stay positive and it will come.

hey everyone who took 6601, i hate being the bearer of bad news but if anyone here had any hopes that the list will come out shortly or that we were going to be called in a year or 2, dont hold your breath..

im so utterly disappointed ... but congrats to 8094 for their list being extended once again,

 

here is a original quote from the chief,

 

"Whereas a restriction against the filling of vacancies due to budgetary constraints has limited the number of Conductors the New York City Transit Authority has been able to appoint, on Feb. 1, 2017, the duration of the existing list for this title, based on Exam No. 8094, was extended to February 16, 2018. The test was given on Dec. 6, 2008 and the resulting list established in May 2011."

[MTAhopefullMatt]

Thanks for posting.

 

So will they finish the 8094 list before they move on to the promotional, or mix the classes with both lists?

 

Yes, disappointed, but this stuff happens.

[simonbush]

I don't understand why they extended 8094 if they have the promotional list and this list. I'm baffled.
