I passed in July I’m just checking to see if there is some sort of order lol Yea I passed in May I believe you’re group was after mines but there’s no way to know what order. It all depends on how many people are in the hiring pool. We were told In may we be in by August 2018 so as you can see we are now slated for a January/feb class because she still doesn’t have the schedule. Just be patient it’ll come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTAHopeful813 Posted October 27, 2018 Share #1254 Posted October 27, 2018 I wanted to ask what was the estimated time frame after passing your s&d exam do you get called to the academy, given you pass background, PE and all others in between? I have a newborn at home and wanted to scale out a time frame and get everything i need to together (babysitter, doc appointments, etc.) before things really speed up and go into motion. as for the index card studying, for those that passed the s&d how many did you guys study? per-day/week/hours? I was planning on creating the cards and studying 10 signals, 5 definitions using any downtime i can to review them per-day at work and while traveling to work, with the kid at home ill be lucky to get a glance at it to really drill it in my head. cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for studying I did about 7-10 definitions/signals a day and about 3-4 hours a day every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that’s fine what I did first though I broke down the definitions from longest to shortest once you get the long ones out the way the short ones becomes so easy. As for the time frame when the schedule comes out then you can pretty much see where you stand. Last year as someone mentioned 10 classes was the plan then it became 8 and only 5 was held. Now for next year plan is 6 they mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash cards I never used anything else. Yea if the classes delayed then you could be looking at end of 2019 early 2020. It all depends on how much they get approved for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolkbull3 Posted November 1, 2018 Share #1266 Posted November 1, 2018 Can anyone tell me how long it takes for them to complete the background check? I passed sd in july and im still waiting for an email. I know a couple people who passed in july just got their background email yesterday. I am hoping that my email isnt that far away. Does anyone know the procedure the lirr does when picking people for a class? My cousin said 17 people passed with him and out of the 17 they were split into 3 different classes. I know they dont go by test scores as i scored a 100% on the test and one of the people in my class scored lower but yet got the email yesterday. I also know they dont go alphabetically nor do they go by date applied. Does anyone have any idea? This is weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we did that’s why I’m getting worried , I didn’t see my score I thought they didn’t release them, I remember they said they use to give scores but they stop doing that , and no I haven’t heard anything yet. I reached out to Linda yesterday via email and she replied to me this morning telling me that she is going through the applicants for February, she said to keep an eye out for an email or emails very soon, but I don’t know if she was referring to me or just in general 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell u they dont go by score thats for sure. I got a 100 on the test but people who passed with us were picked for jan class and they didnt get a 100. People in jan class have been emailed and im guessing the people slates for feb class were emailed today. So you should without question be in the following class whenever that is. Linda said in her email she dont have the exact date for class starting but sometime in Feb she said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
