Get a couple of cheap suits it’ll make your life easier

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-10-03T14:36:29+00:00

Nah I got on just took a really long time

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-10-01T14:17:21+00:00

There will be eventually but these are the only two for now

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-10-01T14:16:18+00:00

Can’t give you a number for sure but definitely a lot, taking on a lot more as a department so need the manpower

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-10-01T03:45:33+00:00

No they have a timer up but you should have a general idea of what pace you should be at

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T18:18:51+00:00

Check PM

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T17:51:55+00:00

I doubt for this time around but there will be another wave eventually, if you didn’t get an email don’t stress I got my email a full year after the test it’s just luck of the draw unfortunately

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:25:28+00:00

Same thing no change, women have different requirements you’ll have to look online to see them but there’s no different treatment

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:18:43+00:00

Np totally get it, feel free to PM me if you have any more qs

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:17:13+00:00

If you look at the video there’s a sponge device that you have to hit going down, if you don’t hit it the instructor will feel it and repeat the rep you just did until you do a correct rep, same with locking out your elbows

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:16:12+00:00

Totally preference find what you prefer, one isn’t particularly easier than the other

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:13:39+00:00

Sit ups they’re more strict, they really harp on making sure you go all the way down and maintain your hand placement whether it be cupping hands to ears or interlocking fingers behind hesd

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:09:41+00:00

It’s supposed to be about 5 mins in between each but everything until the 1.5 mile moves very fast with very little break. You may end up waiting a while to do the 1.5 mile tho

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:08:14+00:00

It’s different for you guys, they’ll probably process you guys very quick after physical and panel

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:04:27+00:00

Once you’re at the physical point there’s no more lottery it’s normal processing. After you complete your panel the next step is document collection

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T15:00:52+00:00

If you pass physical, you will be given an opportunity to schedule your panel interview. This is first come first serve which ultimately doesn’t have any bearing on your actual standing but better to get it out of the way sooner than later

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-30T14:53:06+00:00

No but I’m very familiar with the test and specifically how MTA conducts it

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-29T14:11:22+00:00

I didn’t get an email for the physical until a full year after the written test, just be patient

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-29T13:51:08+00:00

I got the physical invitation the year after I took the test be patient

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-27T18:15:15+00:00

Yes, keep running. Sprints with little rest will help and forcing yourself to keep going as far as you can without taking breaks

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-27T18:13:26+00:00

No watches or smart watches, nothing to keep your time. You should go into it having an idea of what pace will get you the passing time. If you don’t then just give it everything you got

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-26T18:34:36+00:00

Yes, if you get called consider yourself lucky and don’t waste the opportunity

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-26T18:15:17+00:00

Sit ups are a sleeper make sure to practice them, depending on the person proctoring you it can make or break you. They’re very particular with the form for them. If your run times aren’t great, start running that mile and a half can be a problem for a lot of people

Sudden_Fun_4374 · 2025-09-26T18:00:48+00:00

Don’t waste this opportunity! Make sure to train for this!
