Posted by Cappy on Mon Jun 10 23:36:59 2013, in response to BOSS Exam, posted by MCI D4000 81994 on Mon Jun 10 20:31:22 2013. The BOSS (Bus Operator Selection Survey) is a personality test to see what kind of person you are when it comes to operating a transit bus; your interactions with the passengers, coworkers, and bosses; and your tardiness at the job. It contains 75 multiple-choice questions and you have 75 minutes to complete it. If you really want to be a bus operator, DO NOT mark down the truth answers! Mark down the "what they want to hear" answers. Some of the questions will be repeated 2-3 times, but in different wording, so your answers must be consistent.No, you don't need a CDL at the time you'll take the BOSS. If you receive a "congratulations" letter after taking the BOSS, start obtaining a CDL permit right away. Check out Red Hook on the Road first to see if you fully qualify for their program (you'll save a lot of money). If not, then you'll either have to go to the nearest DMV office to pick up a CDL manual or click here for the online CDL manual and study sections 2, 4, and 5. Your list number should be in the letter that you received. If it isn't there, give the MTA Employment Center a call at (347) 643-8229. You'll have to give them the applied exam number and your SS number in order for them to tell you your random list number. BTW, for my curiousity, are you taking the BOSS for exam 2301 (bus operator for MTA Bus), 2613 (bus operator for NYC Transit), or 8094 (conductor for NYC Transit, but decided to become a bus operator for NYC Transit)? |
