Hey! I just took the test today and my god the 2D 3D is absolutely ridiculous 😭. Did you get your results as yet?
Yes! I passed surprisingly! That last part 2D 3D is definitely not for everybody! You either have the eye for it or don’t! Which makes sense in this line of work because I’ve had lots of items that went through TSA undetected and it was an honest mistake on my end!
Good luck to you mama
@@TurbanSpaThank Youuu! I passed and got my offer. I submitted my background check information and all the other forms they asked for. I haven’t heard back from them since. How’s your process coming along?
@@nikitakhan57 same. I submitted my e-86 a week ago. Still waiting. Could take up to 2 months I heard. But, I’ll update you once I hear back!
@@TurbanSpaok, good. I submitted mine Jan 24 hopefully I hear back by March. Lmk how yours is coming along when you hear back.
I just took the exam last Friday, 21Jun2024, and received the tentative job offer this morning, 24Jun2024. It really is straight forward. I don't think there is a need to do practice tests for the 2D and 3D sections unless you really want to. Just like @TurbanSpa said, you either have an eye for it or you don't. But either way, best of luck to everyone else waiting to take their exams!
Congrats. I take mine in a few hours. I'm so nervous
Congrats! I'm taking my exam tomorrow at noon. This video and comments are super helpful!
I applied on 02/28/2024. Tested 02/29/2024. Passed today 03/04/2024. Filled out the onboarding except the E86 form, still waiting to get the link. This is currently where I am. Update: Got the link the next day on the 5th. Now waiting to hear back from background and do the assessment. Update 2: Got the call and email for AA scheduled for 4/2 today on 3/30. Update 3: Passed the AA today 4/2 and did fingerprints and photo. Was handed the medical packet now waiting continue with that. Update 4: Got invitation email for medical on 4/3. Went online through the email link to schedule for 4/5 (today) but didn't hear anything back so I called the next day on 4/4 and reached someone to schedule it for 4/11 instead. Update 5: Did medical evaluation today on 4/11 eye, drug, hearing, and physical. Clinic says I passed it all. Now waiting to see what’s next from TSA. Update 6: Had to appeal vision test today 4/17. Update 7: Passed vision appeal today 4/19. Now waiting for background to clear. Also noticed TSA onboarding page isn't up anymore.
I just try today and I think I lost it on the 2D-3D

About to take this tomorrow so fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Update me on how it goes!
Curious, was your exam as this creators exam too?
I saw your video and thought to share my own experience. I should’ve done a reaction video when I took the test last year.. and like you, I was caught by surprise how different it was from what I expected. But I passed and received the tentative offer 13 days later. Through emails I scheduled the remote interview and fingerprinting at your local Customs office. The fingerprinting was on a separate date.
I was interviewed via webex platform by 2 TSA officials. Once I passed the interview they called me to schedule the medical examination/drug test. Once you schedule it, they will ship a medical kit to your home address. Make sure you receive it before your medical exam date otherwise you will have to reschedule. They will not see you without the kit. So if you haven’t received the kit call them to resend it.. as they can fedex overnight
**Do not open the kit.**
After that is the background check questionnaire.. once you submitted it, it can take up to 6 months to complete it. Thats where i am now in the process. Waiting for the background check and next steps. Hopefully to schedule my training. Hope this helps and good luck.
Thank you so much for the detailed reply. And good luck to you while you wait!
For me the process was much different so far!
I was given my tentative offer 6 days after I took the exam and was told to fill out
The biographic questionnaire in the following three forms to submit
DHS 11000-9
DHS 11000-5
OF-306
That’s when I started my onboarding process and the background investigation!
I’ve been waiting since Jan 18. That’s when I submitted everything
How long after the onboarding did you get the E86 un and pw?@@TurbanSpa
@@TurbanSpa I'm in Virginia. And the process so far has gone the same as yours. You and I are at the same point of the process as well. I submitted the 3 forms 1/24/24. It's taking forever! Please keep us updated.
Update...I took my test on Feb 24, 2024 and on yesterday, May 7, 2024 I got an email for my in person interview for next week May 15, 2024. Im in Atlanta, so not sure where everyone else is located. So its been 3 months to get to the interview process. Ill keep everyone posted on the rest of this process so you will have an idea of how long it actually take me from testing to actually starting training and beyond.
Congratulations and best of luck 🤞🏻
I took the test last year of June and got the email for the in person interview this month for this weekend. Took almost a whole year for the interview email. How was the interview ? I know they make you sign a NDA but any heads up you could give ?
@@__chubbyx I haven’t even finished the first step! But I see that it’s a lengthy process.. I’m still in the background investigating step.
I’m also in Atlanta as well and I’m scheduled to take my test tomorrow morning.. trying not to be nervous at all
@stephengibbs1344 The test is not hard and will only last 30 minutes at the most. Work as fast as you can on the first two sections as they are easy. The last section with those figures is a bit@h, but you will pass if you just work as fast as you can on those first two sections and just do the best you can on the fugures
I applied on June 16, 2024, did my test on June 25, 2024, and I got the email that I passed on June 26, 2024. Your video helped me a lot
You should do a video on paper for demonstration on how exactly it works.
Yes please
thank you for this.. I just applied & im freaking out
Did you pass ??? how was it
I feel I was sweating this exam for nothing , just finished the exam and the origami was challenging at the end of it but rest was a breeze but could also be to zealous about it I’ll update when I get my results but your video certainly lightened the weight I felt before hand
Passed
Hi Amani!! Thank you so much for the video! Your video was the only accurate video - none of the other ones are good, maybe because they are older. I just wish I had seen it before I went in for the test. In fact I didn't do any preparation at all. I started watching the videos after I came back from the testing center. So, same story here, that last 3rd part (2D/3D part) I also didn't do well on. I think I misunderstood the instructions too, or read it wrong. I actually took the time on each one and giving each number an assigned letter. And, it felt like I took forever, then realizing that I have very little time left - I didn't get to complete all the questions. I don't know what to think. I so hoped for this job. The 7 days of waiting is a bit stressful.
Based on some of the comments, I see that you did get the job, that's awesome! Can you please share your timeline, what happened and how long it took to get the job? Thank you again for your video. Very helpful!!
I’ve been waiting on my background check since April and it’s killing me !!!! ❤️
Very helpful! Thank you! Today is May 21, 2024!
Thank you for your information. My exam is scheduled for this Wednesday. I’m nervous because my first language is spanish . I don’t speak English like you. 😅 so, I can understand you and Write perfectly, I’m applying in miami.
Glad it was helpful!
Just pay attention to pictures. It really doesn’t need much language skills other than understanding the question! Take your time doing that!
How do you think you did?
Hey did you passed?
@@jessicacuello9974 I did but still waiting on my background investigation 😞
@@TurbanSpa Me too idk what’s going on, that’s super slow
@@TurbanSpafor which state have you applied to, I was applied for nJ last year and passed my interview already and I’m waiting on my exam result
Thanks for the information. I took my test last Thursday and pass it. I got the same three parts that you got and I was swift when doing it. First I thought its was a practice test because it was black and whit screen before doing the actual test. I then realize that it was the test and then I started to speed up because it also based on speed.
Hello, thank you so so much for this video! I've been stressing a bit and confused on which topics to focus more on to practice before my exam, so I've just been analyzing and taking handful of practice tests on X-rays for weapons, dots (numbers and letter connecting) like you mentioned thankfully, 2d/3d shapes and lastly the English. Once I received my email, it mentioned that the English assessment isn't on the exam, which made me feel so much better, since I wasn't doing so well. But those 2d and 3d I'm finally getting a hang of surprisingly after watching the videos of them unfolding and folding back together. My exam is finally tomorrow and I'm nervous. I think it's just the word "exam" though. haha. I hope I pass. Anyways, your video is super helpful, thank you so much. :)
Update: I took the exam yesterday and the first 2 sections (dots and shape matching), were smooth sailing, but the 3D shapes that were presented were a bit difficult but I went with my gut and completed it. I left feeling good overall. Fingered crossed.

This sounds like it’s broken down the same way as the ASVAB, when I enlisted. One of those types, slow down, take a breath, don’t let your anxiety get in the way and let your brain do the work for you.
Oh man mine is on the first, I've seen two other people who already took it and i guess there really is nothing on x ray recognition.
It’s pretty much an IQ test. Good luck to you!
Let me know ow how you do once you rake it
I just applied earlier tonight & I got my test next Wednesday. I been watching videos to know what I’m getting into
Any update?
I took the test Thursday and must’ve passed cause it’s Monday and they sent me email saying congratulations and filled out everything needed to but that origami part was kind of crazy to me I must’ve got great score for them to hit me back so quick so I’m just waiting for next steps they told me airport already as well
Good for you!

Question guys so I got my onboarding and completed everything there before there but did not say that I was in the selective service will I not be allowed to do this job due to this? The reason in not allowed to be in the selective service is due to me having diabetes.
I’m taking my test in 8 hours (July 9, 2024). I’m nervous about the 2D-3D portion🤞🏾
Did u pass

How did you do?
Hello

Take an IQ test. Trust me, it’s all in there.
Best of luck!
I just received an email today saying that I passed mine, thanks for the video. The last part of the Exam was challenging. Do you know what’s the next step?
Did u do well on the last part. Matching number to figures

I just got my test today march 2024 and 2d to 3d completly ridiculous.my question to tsa
How does 2d to 3d assesment will improve transportation security on airports? I google, ask alexa,ask google and has no answer.that section make non sence at all for me.i past everything except 2d3d.i just learn something new today,if you wanna do security you most know how fold letters on the computer😂😂😂 crazy.
I know it sounds bazar and I questioned it myself, but I came across a video from the previous tests that showed imaging of all kinds of banned items from odd angles or that was taken apart that was slipped through and never got noticed. So in my humble OCD opinion, lol, being able to recognize shapes if they’re taken apart and then put it together in your head would have a huge impact on our nation’s security
I passed back in November and was offered a contingent offer and never heard back from them again. That's almost 5 months ago.
I passed the test back in June 2023.. i did the physical, fingerprinting and remote interview over the next few months… filled out the standard e86 form for the background check twice bc they were transitioning to a new system.. anyway they finally called me yesterday.. to tell me my start date is May 6. And will go to training in July. It took 10 months for them to call.
Be patient, they will call. It’s not unusual for it to take a year. Stay on top of emails and reply as soon as you get them.. check your spam folders. Good luck!
@IvansRevenge Yeah, I'm not sure it's worth the wait. 🤔 It's part-time, and the pay isn't great. 💸 Also, I'm not entirely sure how good the retirement plan is. 🧐 #jobsearch #parttime #lowpay
@@crazyhawk201ad The listing i applied for was full time.. And I spoke to HR person yesterday, and she advised me what the annual salary would be, NOT including night differential.. is 46k.. so close to 49. Also depends on the state.. Keep in mind that while the one you applied for is part time… a full time slot may open. But once in, you have more options. You may apply to another agency. Also consider that TSA got one of the largest pay increases last year that will put its TSO salaries on par with other agencies. Depending on the airport location, the cost of living varies and salaries may differ some.
As for pensions, if you’re a veteran, like myself, TSA being a federal agency, can bridge my time toward that pension.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your decision.
@@crazyhawk201adwhich state/airport and how much do they start at if you don’t mind me asking.
@@crazyhawk201ad The hack is to transfer once you have the ability to. TSA is probably the perfect federal job to start since other positions on USAJOBS are highly competitive & just relying on pure luck to get a phone call. Work for TSA, transfer out to another agency & just keep growing that career until you feel stable & have that federal job where you can retire comfortably. It's a lot of legwork for sure but that's the catch.
What’s next after I accept the offer and do the 4 task
You wait for the background check
I think i did very well on th first 2 parts, but the 3rd i don't think so
I just took the test this morning (Feb 21, 2024) and I too was wondering what the heck is going on as I studied all that additional information that wasnt on the test. The instructions said it would take 2 hours to do the test and when I finished the test in about 30 minutes, I was like "what the hell"? The overall test was easy but that 2D / 3D portion is a bit difficult and I dont think studying is going to matter on that part of the test because unless you have the exact same object on the test, I just dont see how studying for the 2D / 3D is going to matter? I just did the best that I could do on that part of the test as the first two parts are extremely easy. If TSA is going to disqualify individuals from offering them a job soley because you didnt do well on that 2D / 3D portion of the test, they are going to have a very difficult time filling those vacant positions. You simply cant determine if an individual is going to be good at a job by an idiotic 2D / 3D test....I have heard that if you are a veteran, your 10 point preference you receive will go a long way for you getting hired like it does applying for a job at the post office.
Please how was the 2d/3d like
How many minutes for 2d /3d part and how many questions
@MemuduMariam The 2D / 3D test is not hard, it just takes time to figure it out and the time goes fast. I just took it this morning and If I'm not mistaken, it's 20 minutes long. Each time you answer a question it will give you a percentage of how much you have completed. I was 68% done at the end of my 20 minutes. You don't need to worry about the first two parts of the test, that's very easy, just work as fast as you can and you should complete the first two sections in plenty of time. You can practice that 2D / 3D on your own, but I don't think it's going to matter because you are going to have different problems on the test so just do your best....As I mentioned before, if TSA is going to disqualify a person and not hire them for not doing well on that silly 2D / 3D section of the test, they are going to have a very difficult time filling those employment slot. A simple test does not define a person's inner ability to work a job.
@@MemuduMariam ....when I say it's 20 minutes long, I was only talking about the 2D / 3D portion of the test only
@@DonRobinson-le6qpthank you so much
On the last section of the test I only got 70% completed then time expired. Will this affect me passing?
how did you study?
@@gordonramsayshorts3002 I didn't study but I'd recommend studying for the last part which is origami because that one will confuse you a bit

Hi guys, I have a question... for me to review and sign the e86 in the onboarding process I have to wait for them to sent me the link for the e86 right?
You should get something in the email that has a link that should mention online assessment then it will be NBIS
She ain’t lying I went in there blind eye and failed that shit
Did you 100% fail or just thought you failed

Hello would u please help me where to study about English grammar and xray recognition test? My exam are coming closer so I’m little scared cos I want to pass
There is no xray on the test
I posted the video to confirm the rumors about changing the test completely. I hope you’re still going through with the process, and that you have had the test and passed by now! But in short, in case you didn’t, there are absolutely nothing you can do to prepare unless You are familiar with an IQ test, you can go ahead and take a few to familiarize yourself with it. In short, you either have it or you don’t.
I hope this helps!
Can you post a screenshot of the nemail saying you passed the TSA CBT exam?
Did you get the results of your test?
I did! I wish they tell us how much we score!
I get the result, but I don't know the score, I'm waiting for the next step,
what would you suggest to prep for the test
Take an IQ test to get familiar with the new approach
Please how many days does it take to receive the e86 form
You show get an two emails within days. I believe I had to email their help desk or something like that to email it because they were taking long.
