I got 43/43 in the dials, but high end borderline pass on Dots test.. bum.

I got my results but got a borderline result in the group bourdon test. So didn't progress to the next stage. Very frustrated and disappointed mind.. I got very good pass in TRP and Dials test. Trying to find out at the moment how close I was and if it was not completing enough of the paper...

I managed to get through all of them. When I did the practice materials I overcomplicated and didn't read the instructions. I then did the 8 questions again and breezed through. When it came to assessement alot of people struggled to understand. It felt like a long wait so everyone had...

I was also a little suprised at doing dots test on paper. Makes sense though because the PC's with software are at reading and newport. The information pack didnt clarify but lead me to believe we were doing all of the tests and interview in the afternoon. This is being done this way simply...

Its not black and white really I'm afraid. TOC's dont contact you because theyre not interested in either you or recruiting more people. If they do contact you, its because they're looking for staff again, so important to be top of the game to make sure you dont get put to the back of the...

I had an assessment on Tuesday 4th September. Waiting to hear back results wise. Not sure how long it's actually going to be. But from what the assessors on the day said, it was going to be marked then as soon as its marked the results fed back to candidates rather than waiting for all...

I think I will use the train, not 100% sure yet though. I'm booked for the same day at Bristol Hilton. The information pack sent to you has the types of questions you will be asked in there I believe.

Good stuff, hope all goes well. Keep us updated! How are you finding the different tests, if you've started any practice yet!

Correct, you can get marked down for being too slow too. I have started to do it by setting a rhythm and keeping each row the same length of time.

I have had my first go on the tool on the PC. My eyes are spinning through staring for 2mins x 5 attempts. Ended with 3-4 ommited on each sheet, total at 20. 0 incorrect 1200total cells 46 completed rows

I'm very much into my gym and fairly good shape. Ive got around 12% bodyfat as an estimate and I'm 3-4points over the top end of what I should be. its for a typically average person, which I dont think exists really, not often anyway!

I should be fine then. I did know about the cab size being a restrictor. Can't have me being 8foot hanging my head out the window ;)

FGW do mechanical comp yes. If my research is correct, approx £22k for training salary. Takes on average 9-12months. You should know the rest, its not hard to find out.

Hello, I am around 6'3" - 6'4" and seen some TOCs have a height restriction. Apart from slouching when I get measured, is this actually anything to worry about?!

Same to you. I did a few of the practice questions, really didn't understand the dials and arrows practice questions, I thought I did. I got 1/8 I think that one was a fluke, so I re-read the question and examples.. It's actually even more simple, the order is dictated to what colour the...
