How positive are you …..today is MTA bus and next week is mabstoa

Only TA give you comprehensive competitor test. OA and MTA Bus only gives "Bus Operators Selective Survey". To pass that survey, your answer has to match multiple times. There's no wrong or right answers but.......Imagine you're being interviewed, how would you like to be viewed as an employee. "Hint: Make yourself look good"

What a BOSS questionnaire looks like...

 

1.I am a very Tidy person.

A.  Strongly Agree 

B.  Agree 

C.  Neutral

D. Disagree

E. Strongly Disagree

 

2. I sometimes misplace things

A. Strongly Agree

B. Agree

C. Neutral

D. Disagree

E. Strongly Disagree

 

If you really pay attention to the questions, It was already asked but formatted or rephrase differently. If your answer doesn't match or go against the opposite of what you answered before based on the question. That's how you fail. One question may be repeated multiple times, but rephrased or reworded differently. 

**3. Police officers always gives out fines for no reason**

A. Strongly Agree

B. Agree

C. Neutral

D. Disagree

E. Strongly Disagree

I hope you’re right and it is the boss but based on the NOE it seems like a real test

I agree, especially as I look at the bottom of the second page of the Job Vacancy Notice, however we'll find out tomorrow!

The test being administered today and maybe tomorrow is not the BOSS it is the same test that they give for the TA Bus Operator title I will speculate that this might be how it’s done going forward as part of consolidation just my take 

they also give you the canary yellow paper to jot down your answers for when it comes time for them to post the proposed answer key

Thank you for this important information. I know that for the TA Bus Operator title, you need to obtain a 70% or better to pass, however nothing to this nature is stated in the Job Vacancy Notice. Did they mention a passing score or anything to that nature?

Again, thank you for posting this important information.

That’s not true.  I did exam 1100 and it’s OA which was the real test.  My sister is OA working 3+ years now and it was the survey she took at that time.  When I told her I took the real test she said they probably change it now.

If it’s exam 1100 it’s the real test.  I did not study and I already got called for pre-employment process.  And I don’t have a list number to know how well I did on the test.  Did mine 10/09/2921

If it says walk with calculator, then it’s the real test.  I did both survey and real test previously.  I just did exam 1100 which was the real test.
