Has anyone else not heard AT ALL since sticking your application in?

Getting ridiculous now

Me, I have heard nothing at all.

Me to. At this point I'd just like a yes or no really. Checking my emails every hours getting annoying. Haha

I cant believe there's still no word...I am now convinced I am never getting any reply

Received a reply this morning but can't seem to find the full Checking Test assessment link with the 25 questions.

 

[singo]

Duplicate post. Didn't think this one had being posted.

 

[burntheships]

I received an e-mail today inviting me to do a checking test. I cant find the practise test for it anywhere on the website, only example questions, anyone got a link to it?

Hi,

I heard today,Through to online assessment.I applied for Leeds
on the 4th October.Theres always hope if you haven't heard yet.
I was in your shoes this morning, keep the faith and good luck.

 

[Firefly83]

Has anyone received the online assessment and lives further than an hour away from their preferred depot choice?

 

[Brian88]

Where do you get the practice test again? I can only see where it says click here to begin your assessment. Cheers

 

[purplejonesy]

I really don't know what to make from all of this. So far I have received 2 emails saying that I didn't make it, and now today I got an email saying that I passed the CV and cover letter and been invited to take part in the online assessment tests.
What's going on ha ha

Brian88, if you start the assessment you get to practice as many times as you want. Be careful though as you will start to remember where the answers are and it tends to defeat the purpose of practicing.

 

[Brian88]

Thanks

Amazing well done mate. Out of interest did you get a choice of which assesment date and location or was this allocated for you?

 

[dnc22788]

[Brian88]

[dnc22788]

Canny, ill do the real thing tomorrow when i'm a bit more awake and actually have a mouse rather than the laptop touch pad.

 

[dugster70]

You'll go far on the railway :roll:

I'm already there like you, however I have no intention of progressing seen it done it in a former career, but I suppose you're right, being a driver for arriva north at Leeds you don't go very far

 

[martin2345uk]

So am I literally the only one here to hear back about the checking test? :-/

Seems a very high number of us on here got to do the test, i wonder if that is an indication that a huge number of years were sent out, or possibly that the best applicants always frequent this forum?!!

What, first go or after several goes? My first attempt I missed 6 and incorrect four, but by the 5th attempt was going clear, largely due to memory of paterns though! I'd stick my neck out and say that on the actual test scores of 20+ will be rare.

I haven't applied myself but I reckon you're going to need a perfect score judging by the numbers that have been put through

It seems so! Bizzare!
I sat the test last Monday and haven't heard anything as of yet.

 

[Jimbo12345]

Still not heard anything at all..depressing

 

[xtradj]

I feel a bit harsh on those yet to hear. They had more or less finished last week however seem to have been very very slow this week processing the final few?

Today was the first assessment day. Did anyone actually get invited?

 

[m@tty]

I got the congrats email and online assessment email at about 15:30 today and had pretty much given up hope of any good news before receiving it..

 

[Nixon]

Anyone with an idea of how the 78 slots would be split around the depots?

 

[ZackCulross]

Just had the talent email to do online test just now . I applied on the closing date 14th at 1630 . I assume they will be near the end of filtering or is it geographically I'm Edinburgh

Must be random I assume because I'm edinburgh and applied on the 5th and have heard nothing... the wait is killing me
