Extension because you requested it or just because? I did the tests yesterday and haven’t had anything.
No just got an email saying “assessment changed” 22/6 deadline now. I will do it tonight anyway.
Ah ok. Good luck!

Still haven't done it yet, but have found more practice materials on a site called 'JobTestPrep'.
I had the extension email too. The 2 attempt rule, when they talk about 'assessment' does that refer to if you have been invited to the initial online tests, or if you make it to the assessment centre? I completed the 2 initial tests for a GWR job a few years ago but unfortunately didn't get any any further. Does that mean this is my second and last attempt?

Where does it say regarding 2 attempt rule?

No, you only get 2 attempts at proper psychometrics. This doesn’t count as that

If any of us actually pass haha, is the next stage psychometrics then an interview?
Ah I see. If we’ve passed them already this year with another TOC do we have to do them again?

I thought it was 3 attempts now or has that change not come in yet?
Think it depends on when you did your first. My understanding is that if it was pre Dec 24 then you have 2 attempts, after that 3

No, if you’ve passed them already. Just just need to tell XC when you get to that stage. They’ll need your National Insurance number to check

That spatial awareness test was a total headf*ck. Thankfully I already passed the OPC psychometric test last May with another TOC so hopefully no more headaches

I take it we have to pass this initial lot of tests before we tell them about passing the OPC? I failed at the Avanti enhanced standard but passed the national standard.That spatial awareness test was a total headf*ck. Thankfully I already passed the OPC psychometric test last May with another TOC so hopefully no more headaches

Assuming the DMI being the next step I’d think they would ask then…

I would certainly recommend you mention that you have passed OPC as part of your interview. The "Enhanced Standard" is specific to certain companies Cross-country do not have an enhanced standard to pass
Absolute joke that Spatial ability test! Haha the Avanti one was easier than this and that’s enhanced stats.
Cheers mate will do! Although that spatial assessment was a nightmare don’t even remember the early Avanti stuff to be that hard.
