1 wrong from memory, 3 wrong from the rest. Damn shape question lol Should I bother holding out hope? There were A LOT of people. How long do people hear back, usually?

Definitely! Although the list will not be published for at least a year, from what you mentioned, you got a 93.33%. That's good, however we have to wait and see how many other people got the same score as you or scored better.

Let say a person gets a 90%. Will they get a call back? Or that's consider a low score?

Definitely!! You need a 70% or better to pass, therefore if you get a 90, that's considered, in my opinion, a high score. However, we have to officially wait until the list comes out and we'll take it from there.

I just hope its not like the FDNY exam. I got a 96 and never heard back from them. Hopefully this list is established asap so I can find out what my score is.

You will get call back pending on if you pass the second part, Boss. I think they may not call until maybe two years from now. But you stand great so far for a call back.

Do you guys remembered how questions were for the memorization questions? I got #7 wrong and isn't sure if that was a memorization question.

From taking the test that Sunday morning, there were indeed seven multiple-choice questions. I know #7 was the hardest and least expected question and I took an educated guess for that particular question on the day of the exam.

Okay. I think the question was about a street direction and the compass. I did not see the compass to even looked at it.

Question: the Protest Review day, do they reread the questions and give the correct answers. Or do they just read out the answers and if you question it you go up to them?

From the last one I went for the one I did in december. They just give you the test booklet and a few answer sheet and basically you argue (write) why your answer is correct, if they said its wrong. I did ok on this one I don't feel feel the need to protest.

They also give you the memorization booklet as well so you can compare your answers with the "map" that we had to memorize.

A score of 83 is not bad, however with the fact that I personally got 6 incorrect questions, I'm going to make an effort to go. I was personally hoping for a higher score...

As long as you passed the test you'll get called. They went through exam 4600 with 7000 people like butter and called e everyone, 7612 hasn't been out a year yet and they're up to 1000.

1000, where did you hear of this? 1000 officially hired?

Up to around list number 1000 on exam 7612, everyone gets called depending on if they pass. Just make sure to have a CDL permit or license by the time they call you.

Not sure what you are saying because my list number is 7** and still here waiting to hear from them. Ms. Chestnut claimed no hiring at this time and I asked her how come because I know people with higher listed number got processed.  She said whatever. I don't know what to do. Calling her number will not make a difference if that's what she'll tell me again.

First, can we please stay on-topic? You are aware that Exam 7612 has it's own thread, right?

Second, if you personally feel that you're "pissed off" by their "Employment Operations" Department, you're not the only one. If you wish to complain, but don't know how to, send me a Private Message (PM) and we'll take it from there.

We are staying on thread. The person was referring where they are up to and I was stating that I am not sure about that and explained why.

Secondly, I am not pissed off. Whenever MTA decided to call me, they call me and my timing will be the right timing.

I got 5 wrong none of which was the memorization section (to my surprise) but I still will attend the protest just to see what specific questions I got wrong. 55 out of 60 rounds up to 92%

Nice! Was your #7 incorrect? That's the one I got wrong.

I took the test June 9th during the PM session at Midwood high school. I'm not sure if you did the same but number 7 for me was a picture of a sign that you had to identify.
