Wouldn't worry too much ,although that's easier said than done ,I'm in the same boat as you my friend as during my VSE test went berzerk and stayed that way on multiple occasions ,then it would work again .
Same for me! Deadline was 15th but completed it on the 14th.
That was mine too, good luck.
Unlucky
The M7 is more or less the same level. The VSE is a very different exercise but the practice material helps to get your eye in finding discrepancies quickly. Good luck!
You quite possibly are "good enough".
Thank you Penny.
Which test did he fail, was it the 5 tests or the m7sjt and vse ?
If it’s A1 size then that’s absolutely massive as A1 size is A4 x 8. Did you maybe mean A5 which is half A4 or A6 which is quarter?
A2 is A4 x 4 (2xA3).
You’re not meant to complete the test. It’s to test wether you start to panic when you realise you’re not completing the task and then stop being as accurate. So stop paying attention to detail and stop focusing on task at hand. It’s a real test of focus when you know you can’t complete the task at hand in allotted time. Just focus on what you can manage as accurately as you can and ignore the fine frame.
Good luck to you going forward. Nothing to stop you trying again! These initial tests mean absolutely nothing
Yes correct. I knew I didn’t quite have that right . Goes to check as panicking about how big this bourdon test is
Ngl I used my macbook, I reckon I wasn't too bad because the tasks ended up being some of the materials I've been watching on YouTube.
I think the M7 test is based more on your actual personal choice of a situation that you are put in. imagine being in different terrains consecutively, you would have different judgement of situations as to myself (or maybe the same) because of our view and own thoughts towards a situation we are put in as individuals.
Lol you sound like the FCAOh it’s definitely possible but remember there are companies that still use paper forms and fax machines.

I just did a bit of digging and apparently the OPC has 12 members of staff. That’s according to their tax return.
I won't be attempting this again either to be fair. I'm happy in my current role but I need to find another way to challenge myself!I think if you’re determined to become a train driver you just keep trying? Even though I personally won’t be again. Reason being if I sat those questions again I would answer exactly the same way. If they aren’t the answers they are looking for I’m ok with that. Best to find out now!
It was a punt in a different direction for me I have a well paid job but I’m ready for something new. That’s why I’m philosophical about it I suppose. Not sure what now…something a bit more accessible like astronaut
Nothing to do with the material as level of difficulty
Try with a different TOC, you may find it's the Avanti process that isn't perfect for you rather than the role - I've previously passed testing at WMT and TfW but never made it past the first assessments with Avanti until this timeI think if you’re determined to become a train driver you just keep trying?

I can guarantee many people who have got through don't actually want it, they just want the money.
If you don't fit the mold, you don't fit the mold. At this stage they don't care if you'd make a good train driver, all that matters is that you match their psychological criteria. So frustrating.
Done the OU thing and loved it.
