Oiler exam NYC

[stegna]

I didnt do to good I got a 70% I doubt they will call me. All I had to study from was the passbook nothing from there on exam. I'm pissed off wish i did better. have no other way to study need to take a class to do good on exam. Did you take exm?

I got an 85. studied my ass off. At least 15 questions were really oddball. I've been in the steam industry for a decade and some of the questions really confused me. I know provisional oilers that only got in the low 70's so im keeping my fingers crossed

Provisional does that mean they can be let go at anytime? I would be nervous taken job like that...

[Tooljunky]

Yes I believe they will be laid off and replaced from the new list.

Are all/some oilers local 30 or DC 37?

[echo20]

Is this job that great I really dont know to much about it. I know it 46hr. But maybe my job at local94 isnt so bad, if people are offered temp jobs maybe I should stay put... Do you know anything about it as far a bennys do they have same as local30 and 94?

[MATTYHAMMER]

Either local 30 or local 15 (DOT). Benny's u wouldn't be offered a provisional (temporary) job . It would be a permanent civil service off a DCAS list .

Does anyone know how many names were on the last Oiler list? And how many people were called off that list? I scored a 76 on this exam.

My brother was called for the STW position with the DEP; the test was 2 years ago and he scored in the 70's. He is currently in training and the DEP folks are saying that didn't and can't just throw the test out. There is lots of movement / retirement in the DEP and a need for oilers. Right now it's a wait and see when DCAS is done doing their thing. This is only speculation; but the delay in getting an official score can be due to the high volume of test participants combined with the research required to reveiw all of the related experience. It is my understanding that the "Pass" rate was low (not sure what that means - especially since the official grades haven't been released). I would say to anyone who passed according to their preliminary score to keep hope; make sure you filled out your experience correctly (you can check online at DCAS website); and be ready to piss clean...

anyone hear anything different???

Still nothing
