mass production Posted August 20, 2009 Share #177 Posted August 20, 2009 I scored an 88% and my list# is very high. We all just gotta hang in there! It's not the end of the world. All the best to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messino Posted August 20, 2009 Share #178 Posted August 20, 2009 Does the MTA or DCAS release the stats on these tests? Like how many people got 100% 98.75% and etc.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted August 20, 2009 Share #179 Posted August 20, 2009 Do the veteran's credit guys who get every question right get a 105 score? Hopefully I get to be in the first class. Maybe if they established the list 9 months after giving the exam instead of 12 like the last one, that means they will start hiring 3 months sooner as well. We would probably get the call up in 6 or 7 months from now. First question is a yes. The first class from this test is currently scheduled for early/mid-October.

Y2Julio Posted August 20, 2009 Share #180 Posted August 20, 2009 First question is a yes. The first class from this test is currently scheduled for early/mid-October. You mean from Exam 8094? or from the promotional exam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted August 20, 2009 Share #181 Posted August 20, 2009 Markyes you passed but unfortunately that score means you got a high list # so this means you will not be called for a position. Passing score is 70 but because the competition is very high you need to score around 94 or higher to get a good list # . sorry but retake it in 2012 and study some guides to assist you. all the best I scored a 91 on the 04 test I didnt get called and I retook it in 08 and I scored a 96. Buit why? If it can take a few yrs to get called My number is at 12, xxx Is it like im the 12,xxx person waiting on line for this? Anyways Im a positive person im not thinking negative here.. Also, what if I take exam in 2012 but they still call me? For example..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA doesnt hire that many C/Os in the time the list is valid. It will most likely expire before they get to the 10,000s. If you take a test in 2012 it does not make you ineligable for previous tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTech2000 Posted August 20, 2009 Share #183 Posted August 20, 2009 Hey I am curious me and a friend of mine applied the same day and we both got our scores today. I got a 96 as a final score and my list number is 2168. My friend got a 94.666 and a list number of 3314. So what I want to have an idea of is when do you think we will be called I figure it is only a difference of 1 question between me and him and that is a large gap. Also, is the hiring freeze still in effect or are they actually hiring again? From what I read here it seems that between this test and the last one there are less people on the eligible list, we got our scores back 3 months earlier, there are less people on the promotional list that need to come before us and there are more conductors retiring so I think that they will get to our numbers a little quicker and reach a higher number than 3022 before this list is retired but I could be wrong. This was my first city test and I went in blind so I figure that cannot be too bad for a first time with no idea what is going to be on the test. Oh yeah I also wanted to ask I heard they skip over people on the list at random is this true? If so then there is no guarantee that even if we are on the list we will ever get called.

primomjr78 Posted August 21, 2009 Share #185 Posted August 21, 2009 mark Yes it means there are a lot ahead of you Don't count on being called keep taking exams Tech u got a good list # I got the same score as you but my list # is a little lower There are a lot of people with the same score that's why there is a differential between u and your friend there's a chance that your friend may be called as well They will probaly get to # 4000 this time definitely not 10000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theMojoking Posted August 21, 2009 Share #187 Posted August 21, 2009 First question is a yes. The first class from this test is currently scheduled for early/mid-October. Where did you hear this that the first O/C C/R class is scheduled for early mid october. That sounds a bit quick since the list just came out Monday.

primomjr78 Posted August 21, 2009 Share #189 Posted August 21, 2009 Alex means the promotional test people are being called for training not the OC list. This will be established after the promotional list is exhausted. The list has not been established yet for exam 8094. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had other criteria that they use to determine if they can get promoted with I believe the amount of sick days they've used up being one of those criteria they use.

They had other criteria that they use to determine if they can get promoted with I believe the amount of sick days they've used up being one of those criteria they use. Very true, but if each class is 60 people, then even doing 2 60 person classes at a time, will still take a while since training is 7 weeks. After everyone starts posting, they can easily start new classes since the TSS's (damn too many s's) don't have to be there. I guess they could probably do about 4 classes per month, so the promotional might take 2 monkths, so we might get the call around December, or January, at least the first 60 to 120 people who respond to the letters.

You will get called up, but it will be about 2 years. I am 122 on the list. I will post when I get the letter, so you can get an idea if every class is about 60 people.

TA Rider Posted August 21, 2009 Share #200 Posted August 21, 2009 Yankees, I got my list # in the mail today also. Same score 96.000 with a list # of 1942. We just may end up in the same class at school car in the CI Yards. Congrats on passing to you and everyone else because some TA employees were telling me today that if your # is less than 2500, you're going to be called within 18-24 month timeframe.
