Just got my letter in mail. My test date march 14th......they added a additional letter stating what test will consist of .....55% job knowledge (rules reg., 19a) and 45% job abilities (leadership, decisiveness etc.)

[R170]

Where can i find material to study for this exam? Especially for the “job abilities”(leadership, decisiveness) portion ? Any recommendations would be helpful

I heard another rumor that they going to consolidate the 8702 list with the new test. This would be so wrong if it’s true. Very frustrating 

[bronxbomber2]

For the new test just read the bulletins and the blue rule book

[Notransfer]

They can’t consolidate it because they already took our $$$ for the next one that would be a major lawsuit 

[Notransfer]

I’ll be getting a lawyer if they do that 

[dman1455]

You can't consolidate two separate civil service lists, it's literally illegal lol.

What's probably going on (what I assume) they don't want to release the new list until they already have a secondary list on standby because the first list is so short as they claim (less then 80 people). Your list will come out FIRST and will they will hire off your list FIRST. It's just a waiting game now, unless your name is DCAS you don't believe any rumors.

I was told that they extended the list for 4700 because when they make a list for 8702 because it’s gonna be so short they gonna burn right through it 

[bronxbomber2]

Hope so.. now it’s just staying off the radar till the list comes out and they call 

[Notransfer]

I just been trying not to think about it & hopefully time will fly by & they will just make that list 

[FmrCUSAOp]

Just heard that another class starting March 2 from 4700

[bronxbomber2]

Anyone heard if they postponing this exam due to this epidemic?

[bronxbomber2]

Actually it is postponed till further notice just seem a bulletin released

I heard Zerega may open on the 22nd, not too sure if that July 6 date pushes that back or what.

[bronxbomber2]

I think the 22nd they will open if the following the guidelines 

[Sammy]

I believe  we are going  to have to wait even longer ....since there's gonna  be a so called  budget cut coming ..... damn shame .... been over 2 years .. lol...

[bronxbomber2]

No that’s not going to affect dispatcher that’s more of the executive and upper management on a corporate level promoting. You still would need dispatchers in fact I heard 26 in Ta retired already since COVID started and another 40 before the end of the year a lot of those guys are getting out after everything that has happened.  I got word they started doing new bus operator classses so hopefully we will see a list before September 🤞 or September.. the last list that was extended has a November expiration date
