Relocated to employment. And a (tongue in cheek) suggestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBLHFj3bfgE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In all seriousness, good luck with the test.

Hey all!! I'm new to this site and I came across this thread.....I know it's a bit old but I was wondering if there was any more info on what to study for the traffic controller trainee position?? I have a test coming up and I want to prep as much as I can. Is the initial test a general education/aptitude? Like math, reading comprehension? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Usually, the entry tests are on subjects you either know or don't as reading comprehension, etc. Although I never tested for RTC I would imagaine that reading comprehension specifically plays a big part of it as dispatchers are responsible for giving train orders, among other detail oriented things.
