Reading Comprehension Test

Minnie Said:

What is the best way to prepare for a railroad test"CSX"? Reading Comprehension and math test?

We Answered:

Well, there's good news and bad news here.

The good news is you won't need to be proficient at other than basic math skills, necessary to make the computations for car placement, helper placement, tonnage limitations, etc.

The bad news is if you don't already possess good reading and comprehension skills there is some rough going ahead, and I couldn't think of a way to prepare in a short length of time. This is probably THE most important skill one would need to be a railroader, as your ability to learn, understand and retain information and concepts that I guarantee are foreign to you is dependent on this ability. If you cannot function at a college level here your chances of succeeding are in doubt. Not out of the question, you understand, but not good news.

Some carriers include testing to determine one's ability to think logically and process information.

Still, it isn't rocket science, so the test may be within the ability you now possess. You obviously have figured out your computer, and if there are no lights blinking 12:00 AM on any device in your home because you haven't figured out how to make them quit doing so, you will probably do OK.

Good luck to you and I hope all goes well.
