No, they say should hear back in 7-10 days.
They are not allowed to say pass rates etc, so whilst I know I got se questions wrong and ran out of time to finish most tests, it's hard to tell how well I have done.

I have just finished the Stage 1 tests at Crewe Hall
Everything seemed to go well, apart from the DFFT test, I think I only got to 8 or 9th question.

I've seen on this forum that people have passed DFFT with 6-8 correct answers, but I don't know if that's national or enhanced standard.
Fingers crossed!

DFFT is considered an enhanced only test, shouldn't have a national standard just a set minimum of correct answers to achieve.

What if you were to get one wrong though, say you answered 12, but got 1 wrong. Would that be worse than answering 6, but getting them all right?
RebeccaHW

Ah ok, interesting! Thanks for that
Only if 6 was above the minimum questions answered.
I.e. if say 8 is the minimum, getting 100% from 6 would be a fail, but 11 from 12 would likely be a pass (pretty sure don't need 100% right)
Out of interest how many did you get?

After speaking to a few many in the group got 7-9 answered
Think i answered 8 today
Same mate, 8.5 to be exact, not sure if that’ll count. How did you find it?
think i focused too much on accuracy throughout the day after doing some reading on here across old thread. seems like its aimed more at speed.
The OPC assessor advised the group that for most tests speed and accuracy are no more important than the other.

I think I did 8 or 9 when I sat it and that was enough - you need both, typically
Did you know you hadn’t done as well on this? What let you down?

I didn't pass the initial SJT sift this time, so I didn't get through to resit the tests. My error!

I heard back today that I am through to stage 2. However, I can't do any of the dates. Does anyone know if future ones may come out?
Respond to the recruitment team and they may offer alternative, though in my experience this hasn't been the case (some have missed out as they were abroad and no alternative dates were given)
How long did you take before you booked your slot after receiving your email?

I booked it about 2 hours after getting the email.

Have you heard anything from your assessment day?

That’s amazing! Well done you
Something isn’t right with their system. I know of people who have clicked it 10 minutes after they received the email to find all the slots had gone!
I've booked mine for the 13th, straight after I've received the email from them. But yeah, looks like there might be something wrong with their systems, I've received a text message around 3pm saying that I've got an email from them but nothing came... then another text message after 4pm and only then the email arrived with 3 different slots to choose from.

Hi Gaz think I was with you on the 29th I still haven’t heard anything back! Not looking good for me I don’t think xx

The process is very hit and miss don't worry. I was there the afternoon I think.
I applied back in January as well on a previous process and after video interview didn't hear anything for months, so they let people know they have passed each stage at random times also.
I was at the 29th also for the Stage 1 assessments, had the same issue had a text on the 5th around 15:09 no email, it was followed up with another text and an email to book stage 2, whilst pricing trains and moving things around I booked the 13th trains but then when I clicked back to book the OPC day both the 13th and the 20th had gone off the list only the 16th left, was able to get on that day at the cost of 60quid more as the 06:03 train was more expensive than 13th/20th, I'd say no news is good news from how quick the stage 2 slots went as by 18:13 there was just the 16th left and the stage 2 email came at 16:12 so depending how many slots are allotted a day, that's fairly quick. so if you've heard not it maybe awaiting more available dates from the OPC.
Hope this helps
