What will the test contain? What are the questions asked? How is the oral comprehension? Is it tough? And the memory section ? Is that tough too?
What are the passing marks?
How to pass the exam without making any mistakes?
Can anyone who has given this exam, guide me on this?

A friend of mine works for PATH he started as a Passenger Info Agent. Within a short time he jumped over to engineer and likes it alot. He was saying they have classes upcoming for both engineer and conductor but I think those are internal. It's a real boring job in the sense limited trackage but the pay and bennies through Port Auth. are outstanding. Good way to start I guess as a Info Agent!

Yeah they ask you a bunch of questions about the company, your knowledge on it, some situations and how'd you respond to each situation and your mechanical aptness, what tools you've worked with, etc.

Anyone else get offered a position? I can't accept it due to the fact that I'm still in school. I'm going to request to be put back into the list for the remainder of the year they said I would be on the list.

Anyone who gave the interview for path info agent & got hired. After the interview, how do you know whether you are hired or not. Anyone, who gave the interview and got the job can answer, anyone who has an idea how they recruit people can answer. Waiting impatiently
