LIRR

No. But if you know your subject, all's well.

Its true. But I do not know what topics will come in the test. I have been doing Java programming for past 3 years now.

Will the test be about Motors, Power etc?

Will the test be similar to "FE electrical and computer engineering test".

Electrical Engineering is a very big field. I guess, I am just trying to figure out where to start.

Do you have any idea what the job requirements are? Given that it's the LIRR, there may be no correlation, but...

For a railroad, I'd look at 60 Hz Three Phase, and DC Power Transmission, Electric Motive Power, and Fail Safe or Interlocking Signaling.

Helps to go to a Railfan site and see what LIRR uses for Trains/Traction.

Otherwise if you had a good EE education, you should not worry.

Never seen the LIRR test but a guess would be basic electronics. Just to see where you would fit. From there single systems, communications and then the power stuff which is more mechanic work. The vetting process may be more psychological on the first sitting (Verizon does that).

It's not easy to get in unless you know someone or someone recomended you. Brookhaven is the same.
