Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

Passed all assessments and MMI, failed DMI. Try again in 6 months, I’ve asked for feedback on DMI so hopefully can pass next time

Good luck on the feedback, i was told a blunt response that no feedback is being given the other day

Evening all, apologies for asking again, but has anyone got or been given provisional dates for induction 27th-28th November and then starting at Atrium on 1st December?

This was the same as me. Already had DMI and had 2nd tests roughly a month later with 2 days notice. I was told on the day what i failed on. Tbh I thought it would have been traffic one as I didn't do well at home with practise ones for these. However I got 100% for that one and passed all 3 tests on accuracy. It was the speed on the grey squares which was only marginally below a pass. So was very close and felt a bit harsh. 2 out of the 3 tests have a speed score as well as an accuracy score. So really 5 scores. They told me to come back. She was unsure if I'd need to do DMI again (this can vary) but not apply from beginning. I applied March 24 but my 1st assessment day was Jan 25 so I only just miss the 6 months and need to wait the year. Been emailing ever since to see if I can do it any sooner but no reply. Good luck next time.

Hi mate,

I got feedback sent over this morning so I’ve been the same as you, failed me on my reaction speed to the squares.

Even more annoying to hear I’ve passed everything else, didn’t really have anything good for practising this on but glad I know what I need to sharpen up on.

I’ve emailed back to see if they can clear up if I need to re apply to the job or if I can just wait 6 months and re do the 2nd assessment, hoping it’s the latter.

Hopefully they get back to you soon, I’ll update on here if they reply.

Cheers

There is something you can pay to download that was an exact replica of the squares test. I used it and improved quite a bit just from doing it twice

Can you share the name of it and I’ll have a look?

Sat my 2nd assessment centre on Tuesday, MMI to still be arranged, although we were given the 6 questions to fill out in anticipation for it

Hi ,

Just a quick question regarding the day of the computerised tests( I have mine next week) when you were asked to give your 6 MMI examples were these just a brief outline of them or did you have to write your examples using the star method

Thankyou

There's a practice link 4 or 5 pages back and it helped me. Do it on the computer and not your phone though it's easier when it's larger.

It is an adaptive test so the better you do at it, the more complicated the pictures get.

When I did my MMI, all they wanted was something so you would remember what you were going to talk about. As an example, one of mine was about an accident on the M74, so all I put was “M74” for that prompt.

 

[ASL]

Evening all, apologies for asking again, but has anyone got or been given provisional dates for induction 27th-28th November and then starting at Atrium on 1st December?

No, but I'd love to be in that position. When I was at my DMI, I was told it was for starting around December/January for the Dundee depot, but I've still not had a date for my medical.
All the best for whan you start.
