2019 MTAPD Exam Announcement

[ny71jo]

HighwayBob You have any idea of what type of numbers they would take civilian wise

[HighwayBob]

No idea, it would depend on how many they need and if they need them quickly. Also dependent on the academy.

[Kris_]

HighwayBob Do you or anyone else know how many roll overs they are going to hire in July and what time frame in July? (Early-mid-end of July).

[HighwayBob]

What's "a while ago"? I would think you would be notified of a failure. Did you ask your investigator?

[superrobocop]

HighwayBob About a month ago. I have since passed the medical and just waiting on the Psych. I wasn't really concerned until you said a lot of cops fail. I can't imagine why I would have though. I spoke to my investigator for my monthly check in. They asked me what tests I have taken, so they had no idea,

[HighwayBob]

You wouldn't have been scheduled for anything else if you had failed the poly, and your investigator certainly would have known you failed.

[superrobocop]

Thank you HighwayBob

[Simpleguy515]

AIS stated a test will be given this fall

[columbia09]

Yes, what’s this mean ? You mean a new written test?

[HighwayBob]

I assume he means "Applicant Investigations Section" but that's not what it's called. We don't have "sections". We just call it Applicant Investigations.

[Simpleguy515]

Sorry yes, highway bob is right. Yes they mentioned it

[columbia09]

Is this true ? Can anyone else confirm ?

[Sen189]

I took the physical 06/05 and they mentioned that there will another written exam on September

[columbia09]

Sweet, the investigators said this ?

[columbia09]

I took the physical 06/05 and they mentioned that there will another written exam on September

so apparently this test is just for people who weren’t selected from the lottery. If a new exam was coming out wouldn’t they have announced it already so people can sign up for it

[HighwayBob]

I'm not sure what you mean - how can they limit the test to people who weren't selected to take the last one. Or am I totally misunderstanding you?

[columbia09]

So you don’t get it either. Yes, you’re understanding it correctly. This is as per a Sgt in the MTA Police Department not someone in Applicant Investigations. It made no sense to me either that they would just have a test for people who weren’t selected from the lottery. I think they should do away with the lottery anyway.

[HighwayBob]

The lottery should be done away with, absolutely. It's a relatively recent development and one that makes no sense to me.

[Tmin]

Am I able to push off the process until the next academy similar to what nypd does ? I have my panel interview this week.

[ZooKeeperOEF]

Sure just let them know that during the interview

[HighwayBob]

Maybe, but I've never heard of them doing this.

[ny71jo]

Anyone who was at physical this past weekend did they say anything about academy for civilians this summer?

[Mandony]

Passed the physical and I’m scheduled for interview in July. Since there is a poly., medical., psych written and oral plus the background, I don’t see any academy this year. Hopefully something early 2022!

[Simpleguy515]

HighwayBob check pm

[HighwayBob]

I already answered you

[columbia09]

A Sgt from applicant investigations said a test will be out in 2022. There’s been a lot of conflicting info over this so if anyone hears something different please share and say your source

[HighwayBob]

There's only one sergeant in AI - did you hear it directly from him? He's a reliable source but is only as reliable as the information that HE gets, and sometimes things change week by week.

[ny71jo]

HighwayBob Hey does anyone know when you would hear back from your poly? Like how long after the test?

[HighwayBob]

Check with your investigator if you're concerned, otherwise you'll find out when you're schedule for the next step in the process.

[LowerEastSide6]

Took the physical fitness exam yesterday and I got this information from two MTA personnel. The first individual (didn’t notice his rank) stated that there WILL be a exam coming up during the summer. He didn’t specify weather it will be this year or the following, but he was pretty adamant about the test coming out. The next individual, a Sergeant, stated that there will indeed be a test coming out but during the summer of next year. Interpret this information as you please.

[NYPDpoQNS]

Are you referring to physical tests ? Or Initial written ? I’m hoping they will call more people who applied to start process. Anyone hear anything ?

[LowerEastSide6]

Initial written

[columbia09]

If there was a test coming out this summer or September you think it would’ve been announced already

[Kps13]

Any one know how long it takes to hear back after the panel interview?

[Mclane33]

Took my physical last July. Got finger printed a few weeks ago. Waiting on medical and psych. Any updates on a July hire. My investigator said they were looking to put a rollover class in for July. But no confirmation.

[Kris_]

The COE stated that it expires this August so I’m assuming that means they’re working on making a July Rollover class. Haven’t heard of any confirmation though.

[Mclane33]

I never got a COE. I’m still waiting on one.
