You are better off doing the GBT on paper, very unlikely to get a computer version of it on the day.

Your looking for a minimum of 12 rows per sheet with minimum omissions and 0 mistakes.

Looks like your on the money there. I was lucky to see my result which was average 14 rows per sheet 3 omissions and 0 mistakes. This was graded a 'good pass'

Hope that helps. Do print some sheets off to practice on although I found myself faster on paper and more so at the test centre as the print quality and dots are clearer that the GBT programme.

How did you manage to see the results? The administrator said, only qualified, HR personnel can access it.
You are very right about paper version of GBT. It is faster and clearer.

I will be attending on the 23rd and have done some practicing when I can. This week I have been run about attending different interviews including one with First Bus in Worcester

Not sure about 156441 but I saw my results (and the pass marks) in my personal file when I started the job.

I also found the paper version much easier than online - if you missed one you could go back more than one cell!

Saw it as they did my debrief afterwards the scores were written on a marking sheet for facing back to northern and left on the table as she went out to find the other interviewer. Would have been rude not to have a nosey!

Well I did the first part of the assessment today - GBT, TRP 1 & 2 and TEA-Occ - hopefully it all went ok - did anyone else from here go in the end??

Yeah I was there, was suprised at the number of people to be honest.

I concur - the description in that thread is pretty accurate and in all honesty I did not find the TEA-Occ as difficult as I thought it was going to be.

 

[Hughqq]

Thanks for the pointer to the right place

surprised cause there were many people, or because there were not many people???

 

[benno79]

There was more than I was expecting to be honest swords.
