GhostRiderNYC Posted January 26, 2020 Share #26 Posted January 26, 2020 I actually wonder where MTA stands on the previous list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elk N Posted January 28, 2020 Share #27 Posted January 28, 2020 @GhostRiderNYC @Kad96 Still havent received anything in the mail, i wonder how much longer i have to wait? I also wonder about the last exam 8611, do they just skim the top of every list? They dont check any quals before taking the multiple choice so im almost sure alot of people have gotten disqualified because they THINK they meet the requirements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to process and hire/disqualify all those remaining people first before they even start the process on our exam. and we don’t even have list numbers, the lady from pre employment said to expect at least a year or so before we hear something from them. so I guess it’s best to just forget about the exam for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kad96 Posted February 2, 2020 Share #29 Posted February 2, 2020 I never received anything in the mail. I had called a number after receiving a invalid email from nyct. I was supposedly mailed an invitation to a spa which I don’t understand because never received any info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRiderNYC Posted February 27, 2020 Share #36 Posted February 27, 2020 NYCHopful718 mentioned earlier in the thread, that MTA is still going through the previous year exam and they have 1/3 left to go through, So I’m suspecting might take them another half a year to even get to us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elk N Posted March 27, 2020 Share #39 Posted March 27, 2020 It would probably be a quicker process if the people at the exams unit check all qualifications before handing out invitations to the first test. Some people have bullshit experience or take the test thinking they will receive a call without the proper degree or certification. If they do consider people without proper quals then thats also bull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kad96 Posted March 27, 2020 Share #40 Posted March 27, 2020 Dont they screen that when you circle which requirement qualifies you during the actual exam like the education or work experience. And doesn’t it mean you meet you meet the minimum requirements if they Scheudled you for the spa?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elk N Posted March 27, 2020 Share #41 Posted March 27, 2020 @Kad96You can put whatever you want on those things, theres probably alot of people who lie and now they gotta weed through those people all day. Best case due to this virus we will be here back sometime 2022 . Good luck everyone during these hard times and i hope everyone is okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s was all reading comprehension, with the exception of one of two ohms law questions or power formula questions. The answer keys will be posted on 09/05. Hopefully they give us the SPA relatively quick like the last time since they are hurting for applicants. For 2018 they took the exam in July and took the spa in December, and started hiring by June 2019 Hey , what exactly did you mean by “reading comprehension “ questions ? Can you give an example, so it isn’t 40 questions on the types of electrical tools and materials you should and should not be using ? So one you have power /watt formula down packed and ohms law you should be good ? What about Columns Law?

Kad96 Posted September 17, 2020 Share #48 Posted September 17, 2020 Did anyone receive an email about canvassing for the transit electrical helper exam do we need our CDL for this position because the original listing of the examination did not say anything about having your CDL and this email that we received today says that we do so kind of confused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bam23 Posted September 18, 2020 Share #49 Posted September 18, 2020 I received an email from them about canvassing but it did not state where to submit the application and by what date. Did it say in your email? Also in the application it asks for your list number which i never got. As for the CDL im not sure, i thought that was for selective certification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elk N Posted September 18, 2020 Share #50 Posted September 18, 2020 To everyone that received the canvass letter congrats! I called nyctexams and they said ignore the cdl part, fill out everything that says to fill out, pay attention because some of it is for office use or its a letter they send to our DOT employer which only needs to be partially filled out. Send it to the same email you received it from ASAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
