Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-22-ALLSRCE-79187

I don't really understand this test. last time I took it, scored 'qualified' had 5+ collisions, didn't do any math, messed up several left/right true/false questions, and didn't finish the reading comprehension. This time I studied, had 2 collisions, finished a lot of the math, didn't miss and of the left/right true/false questions, nailed ALL the reading comprehension with plenty of time to spare. I still scored 'qualified'? I'm pool 1 and currently do ATC for the DOD. Unfortunately none of my ''Quals'' are recognized by the FAA so I'm unable to apply for a prior experience bid. I do make really good money and would def. be receiving a pay cut for quite some time joining the FAA, but I'm more than ever intrigued by how they grade this thing.

Yes. It was just the very last test I didn’t finish completely.

You will be surprised soon.
 
Sooo I have already tested and got BQ in Pool 1 and was referred. But I’m seeing on some of the previous bid threads a couple people are saying they got disqualified because they didn’t attach their college transcripts. It didn’t ask for that? I attached my resume, my dd214, and my college diploma but not transcripts and now I’m worried about getting disqualified. Anybody know if this is true or if you were asked to attach your transcripts?

Since you tested and received your score, you should be fine. Plus, you attached your diploma, which I think that shows you completed your classes the same as a transcript would, just less detail. At this point, if they need your transcripts, they'll ask. However, the initial application does ask you to attach the unofficial or official transcripts

Interesting, I feel like they did ask for transcripts during application because I attached mine. I did not attach a diploma, but the first line of my transcript does say Bachelors In Accounting.

Ive taken the ATSA 3 times, 2 times qualified, was about to give up.. then i got a BQ on the last one I took. If you don't get picked up, then just apply again to take the test when the next bid comes out. Don't even worry about the math that much. I think I had 3 collisions and I thought I bombed it, but then I got the BQ. We are not sure how the FAA scores these.. That's the issue with this test. It might be based on how everyone else does..

Are you a civilian working for the DOD or still in the military? I'm just curious.. The benefits seem great if you land an overseas gig.

I’m a civilian working for the military. Overseas gigs do seem great but I have a family and prefer to stay domestic. Benefits and compensation are great either way. I’ll keep taking the test and hoping for the best.
 
I know someone in P1 BQ with a last name E that has one. Must be random at this point
 
It seems like only BQ (Best Qualified) got TOL’s today? I haven’t seen any WQ (Well Qualified) or Q (Qualified) getting one. Unless more coming next week?
