Member2016 Posted April 6, 2017 Share #277 Posted April 6, 2017 CT, yes, exactly, which is why I don't understand others on this board wanting to get ahead of themselves and procure material that hasn't been given to them directly by the railroad. it's not rocket science, just good old fashioned studying and committing to memory. I'd say a bit more involved than studying for a standardized exam but nothing that's not doable. be patient people, it will all come and you'll do fine in the allotted time frame. no need to try getting ahead of the game and possibly wasting your time by studying the incorrect stuff. yes they definitions might not change much year over year but like I said all it take is one word and the definition is wrong. Looking forward to a new class of conductors and I echo the sentiment, good luck to all! Everyone study habits are different if they want to study early let em some people need more time then others especially if you dont know how to study. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarchiqui91 Posted April 7, 2017 Share #278 Posted April 7, 2017 My son just passed the Signals and Definitions test on March 22nd. He said about 45 people showed up to take test and only 15 made it. He had the final interview and got fitted for uniforms. All thats left is background and medical screening. Assuming everything else goes well he expects to start training next month. Its a long process..he's initial call from the RR was in January. I did a lot of studying with him..make those flashcards ASAP and make studying them your only purpose in life until the test (easier said then done I know). Congrats to you and your son I also passed that same day I was one of the 15 did he by any chance hear back for the medical and any idea when the next class might take place thank again the name is Cesar btw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappi10 Posted April 12, 2017 Share #283 Posted April 12, 2017 For me, almost 2 months. But I have been moving at my own pace. I sometimes go 3-5 days with out looking at them. Then spend hours doing them. Work is crazy for me. And other obligations so it's been a slow go. Plus. I haven't been called back. So just doing them at my convenience. 5 weeks would be a stressful cram job for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
