Will-Bx-718 Posted October 18, 2009 Share #553 Posted October 18, 2009 Yeah if you keep dwelling on the job for those 2 years it seems like a long time. But if you keep it @ the back of your mind and go on with your life and working other jobs then the time will fly by before you know it. I took TA just under 2 years to call me for my job from the time I took the exam. I took my exam for S/A in April of 2004 and got hired January of 2006.

primomjr78 Posted October 20, 2009 Share #561 Posted October 20, 2009 NY Tech I hear you. I am in the same boat as you. We will get called just gonna take time. This was around the same range and the test back in 2004. I know the past is not indicative of the future but lets just say history repeats itself our group can get called in about 2.5 years from when the list is actually established.

LexAveExp5 Posted October 20, 2009 Share #562 Posted October 20, 2009 hey, for anybody who took both tests...is it true that the conductor test was easier than the T/O test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted October 20, 2009 Share #563 Posted October 20, 2009 hey, for anybody who took both tests...is it true that the conductor test was easier than the T/O test? Yes. Definitely. The questions pretty much flat out told you the correct answers. They also provided you with a map to use on questions regarding locations of landmarks.

primomjr78 Posted October 20, 2009 Share #564 Posted October 20, 2009 Yes The conductor exam is easier then the TO Exam. The TO exam had safety questions that you would have to know ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdi919 Posted October 21, 2009 Share #568 Posted October 21, 2009 the T/O exam was a joke. they gave you a index with all the terms and info you needed to know. that was the easiest transit test i ever took. the tower operator test was harder. and i still got a good list number. these are common sense test's. something new yorkers dont have much of anymore.

You took the T/O promotion exam as well as worked in the system as a conductor, but the T/O open competitive was a hard exam for people who never worked in the system before. They had school car type question on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naughtygal82 Posted October 21, 2009 Share #570 Posted October 21, 2009 You took the T/O promotion exam as well as worked in the system as a conductor, but the T/O open competitive was a hard exam for people who never worked in the system before. They had school car type question on it. The Train Operator open competative test is not hard. I took it in 2003 and got 1 wrong (because I bubbled in the wrong choice in a rush to leave) with no prior knowledge of the subway. If you pay attention to the details of the question they are not difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay attention to the details of the question they are not difficult. People we gotta remember to be sensitive, what's easy for you may not be easy for some one else. Yes I took all of the above exams and found them not to be very hard at all, but the T/O exam was harder than the C/R exam. And I can see how the T/O exam could be hard for someone w/o TA experience or knowledge being a lil difficult. Some people have problems understanding military time. And people like a friend of mines who has a learning disability, gets extended time on these dcas exams because he has to read each question about three to four times to really understand them correctly. If you think an exam is easy then good for you, but don't go around parading that statement because you make people feel bad that didn't think the exam was easy.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay attention to the details of the question they are not difficult. You're correct the T/O open competetive tests are ridiculously easy as are most civil service tests these days. They are almost all reading comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned military time when I was 9 years old as did most other people I've known that were properly educated. You simply keep counting after 12. Anyone that doesn't understand military time should be ashamed of themselves, and should not be operating machinery such as a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Posted October 21, 2009 Share #575 Posted October 21, 2009 Jah,what did you score on the TO exam? I don't remember because scores mean zero to me only the list number is important to me and my list number was low. I have a couple of relatives that have scored 100's on the T/O open competetive tests though and they aren't genius'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
