TTC New Candidate

This Forum was helpful in many ways but I did not get to the interview although I did ok at the info session back in July. Never heard for an interview invitation and now I think the chances are NIL. My only question before I say goodbye to this forum, Do they HIRE every year? I can't try for another year but I'm wondering about next year although I'm very happy at my current job. One driver I spoke said his opinion about working for TTC as a driver is, it's good to start in early- mid 40's (his reasons were it's good to retire from TTC after driving 15-20 years and not 30-35 years because it takes a heavy toll on your leg & some parts of your body) Good Luck to Everyone who is in the process and Congrats to everyone who got through the training. PLEASE DRIVE SAFE! See you all next year!!!

Congrats, I was there too but haven't heard from them yet. 2 people beside me received their interview email 2 weeks and a week ago. Wonder how the sequence goes in terms of emailing for interview. How many did you answer?

Congrats!!! I was there too but haven't received any email yet. Wasn't able to finish lot of questions. How many did you do?

I haven't been but I was only able to finish around 20 question. So chances are low for me

How can you be so certain he won't pass to the next stage?

When did you write your test? You mean you attempted 15 plus questions? We were told by latest end of Sept we should hear from them. Thank you so much for the info, Mike. Congrats to you for crossing another milestone(Probation), I'm sure you must be very happy. Wishing you all the best!

Does anyone have experience answering only 18 questions in the aptitude test and receiving a call for an interview. Very much appreciated if anyone can shed on some light what is favourable passing percentage on the aptitude test.

Thanks for the word of hope Questions are not tough but for me the challenge was time. I came across 1/4 maths.

I wrote it this morning and as I thought I was doing well(getting the answers right) at a reasonable speed(in my head) but I was proved wrong, I finished only 18 answers and they said time is up. I did not raise my head, not once(fully concentrated)from the start time and I couldn't believe time was up in like no time, thought in my head half way through the time but no it's time up, should have brought a watch to keep an eye. I'm NOT keeping too much hope to be called answering only 18 questions. Will try next year again and will be better prepared with aptitude test. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the info. Congrats to you, hope you did very well in the interview today. How difficult are the questions on the Aptitude test? basic math or bit complicated, confusing wording questions. I haven't written any aptitude test in the past.

Hi Folks, Quick question regarding the aptitude test : 1. Are you allowed to use calculators? When I saw the wonderlic practice math questions it's not hard but some of the question were not simple just add,divide, subtract to spend 15 seconds, it requires more calculation which takes more time to answer. 2. It says there is no negative points in guessing the answer : Is it better to just the answer the questions you know for sure and leave the unsure one blank or would it be better to fill unsure question by blind guess and move on the next one. 3. English is my second language, during the practice, sometime I found I know the meaning of one word but the other word I don't know the exact meaning or the word is not familiar to me. So it's difficult to answer whether it is similar/contradictory/neither. Wonder how difficult the words are on the test. 4. What is an average questions most people would be able to answer out of 50 in 12 minutes. Thanks
