Och0a16 Posted April 21 Share #105 Posted April 21 (edited) Just took the test today. The only slight complain I have about the test is right after the time was up during the memorize portion of the test we had to wait about 5 minutes afterwards before we could start answering those questions. The test proctor took her time collecting the images we had to memorize and then wait until she was given the the queue to hand out the questions so we could start answering them. Wish we could just flip to the questions after the time was up and just put those images aside so the proctor could collect them while we started answering the questions. But besides that the test was very easy. A few questions seemed a bit tricky with either answer being right but i guess one answer was more correct that then other. Either way, can't wait for the proposed answer to see how I scored in the memorized portion of the test.

You can protest the questions with more than one right answers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx6Select1010 Posted April 21 Share #107 Posted April 21 Just did the test. Was pretty easy and was as I expected it to be. Hopefully I get a high enough score to get called 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDodgers Posted April 21 Share #108 Posted April 21 Finished the exam about an hour ago and it was pretty easy. As long as you take your time. Out of the 80 questions only had trouble with 2 of them. Overall, you should be ok without taking a practice exam. Only compliant was I wished it was clearer that we would be taking the exam well after 2pm and that everyone had to be waiting outside. Got anxiety seeing people with green letters while I only had a printout of my email letter. Thought I was going to have to get rescheduled for a different day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From taking several Bus Operator Examinations, they do the same things. The only difference was that one time it was raining, and they made everyone line up in the hallway and wait in there, which was annoying.

I know there's a date noted when you can go and protest the question. Like do they go over every question asking if any objective the answer?

2ride Posted April 22 Share #113 Posted April 22 (edited) I think it’s easier to become a station agent than a conductor. It seems like conductor is the more popular job of the two and if you don’t score 100 on it, you can’t get the conductor position.

Not true, you do not have to score a 100 on the test although there are people who will. Average score is between a 80 and 95. To be fair if your in the top 8000 you have better chance of being called. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhhh, me, I got a 95 on the previous conductor OC Plus theyre in the 11-12k range for the old test right now and most of those people fit into that range you just described Scoring higher increases your chances of getting called/called earlier but the other metric they use is when you sent in the application for the test Edited April 22 by Comrade96 typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
