I did take Station Agent 3607. I’m just waiting for my list number on that now like everybody else. How will you personally tolerate sociopaths as a conductor when they call you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just says you need to be a New York resident when you apply for the extra credit. 2 hours ago, Whatshisface said: I don't know if that's true, I reread the Veterans Credit portion and it doesn't say you need to have enlisted in New York for it to apply. It just says you need to be a New York resident when you apply for the extra credit. I used my 5 veteran's points years ago on another exam and was told at that time that you needed to be a NYS resident at the time of enlistment into the armed forces. It was a long time ago so you might be right and perhaps the requirement has changed. Either way times have changed and there are not that many veterans like there were back then so I don't believe there will be as many as there were in years past. If you score high enough it is advisable to save your vets points for a promotional exam, assuming of course you get in the door first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard conductors can get promoted to safety advisor for trains or train operator. Safety advisor (the guys who make weather announcements and all of that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och0a16 Posted June 14 Share #240 Posted June 14 So how do protest work. If a question has a better answer do both answer stay or only the revised answer stays and the score change for everyone? Also, got a 93. If anyone is working for the mta and scored around a 93 how long did it take for you to get called? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, they will also give you "blank" Protest sheets to fill out as well. The Protest session is to argue verbally, on the "blank" Protest sheets, why your answer is better than the proposed answer for the questions that you got incorrect during the civil service examination. Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
