[Chanelle25]

I’ve just finished my VR test, haven’t received any confirmation email or rejection email yet... was very tricky.
Fingers crossed for everyone that’s applied!

Hiya,
I also found the VR tricky.....

 

[Rachelftd]

Hiya,
I also found the VR tricky.....

Yeah I’ve been doing practice tests but never had one as hard as that! Hope you did well

Has anyone had a rejection email after the VR assessment?

 

[slowtraincomin]

No rejection email yet - you had one?

 

[Chanelle25]

Has anyone had a rejection email after the VR assessment?

I had a rejection email on the VR!! It was literally a split second of me submitting it, which made me think there might be an error on their system, like I said in previous posts.......
Have you had confirmation or anything?

These sorts of tests are scored immediately by the software and if you fall below a certain level then they can reject you immediately. But there may well be an error as well.

Was the VR test ur first online assessment or second?

my order was
SJT
Error checking
VR

 

[slowtraincomin]

Will just have to be patient I guess, especially given current circumstances.

It was my third assessment Lol.

Oh yeah definitely!!

Like many others have said, I initially applied last week, sat the SJT and felt confident, but got rejected. Then a few days later (Friday), got the email to say this was a mistake and I'd been selected to move forwards for the remaining tests, which I have just completed now.

Got to 26 on the VR and email came through instantly for the VR test. Not very hopeful on that, but you never know. Just a waiting game now guys so best of luck to you all!

 

[Cyclist]

My tests so far:
- SJT
- Error checking
- Error checking (copy)

No sign of any VR tests coming my way

 

[railwanabe]

How many did you get on error copy test?

 

[Duns2208]

After getting the initial rejection email and then the retraction email and access to the 2 further tests last Friday. I sat the tests Saturday and have then had a further rejection email this morning so assuming that’s a definite one. Good luck all who get through

 

[Gooner18]

Can’t believe the advert is still open

 

[Chanelle25]

Can’t believe the advert is still open

I thought the same thing about the advert still being open? But was then thinking with how things are at the moment, current climate who knows what's going on with the recruitment team or if they are in or out of the office etc which is understandable.

 

[Duns2208]

I must admit the timing of the email surprised me, 8.46am during all this going on in the country and not an automated one as that would have came immediately on submitting the test. A part of me hoping it’s another system error

I got the same email at 08:35 from the talent team.

Me too

Did you receive the rejection e mail after completing the VR? Did the e mail state about not meeting the required benchmark?

 

[Chanelle25]

Did you receive the rejection e mail after completing the VR? Did the e mail state about not meeting the required benchmark?

I'd received an automated one after completing the VR about not meeting the required benchmark, I was thinking maybe it was a system error as the speed that the rejection e mail came back surprised me as that is what happened when I did the initial application test, but was then informed I had been rejected in error.

 

[Duns2208]

Did you receive the rejection e mail after completing the VR? Did the e mail state about not meeting the required benchmark?

I completed the VR last Saturday, I must admit I didn’t think it went well, was quite relieved when didn’t get an immediate rejection but then received the same email that was previously sent in error this morning. The email is identical but I think this one will be genuine due to the delay in it arriving.

 

[railwanabe]

Got a rejection email this morning also.

 

[Bubba]

Not heard anything as yet but not reading anything into it given the current circumstances.

 

[TootTootToot]

Sorry to hear that some folks are getting rejection emails. Out of curiosity did the rejection email just say if you had failed the online assessments? Or was it a more generic email?

Hiya,

Mine was generic, with so many applications received made it difficult for them and I did not meet the required benchmark......but what shocked me was the speed that the rejection e mail came back? I initially thought maybe there has been an error lol lol

Mine was instant. Straight after the VR test - i guess for me it is dead cert that i am going no further. Was hoping, having read the forum, that it would be an error.

That was the trickiest of all tests - some answers dead easy, others you had to read between the lines. I would have thought they would take all your tests into one rather than 3 separate. Average score. Anyway ... good luck to those that have applied.

 

[CreamNCookies]

Still waiting to hear the outcome of my VR test on Sunday... Was bloody tricky, and I remember two of the questions selecting the same option for every answer, a part of me was thinking "this can't be right"...

Time will tell. But i'm not holding my breath.

 

[Ludus]

I have just received an invite for an interview.
I obviously did better than I thought with the VR!

 

[na281093]

Got an email asking me to book an interview online, telephone interviews that is. Booked for Monday.
