    Can anybody explain precisely the two strikes please as I'm getting confused?

    The two strikes clock has been reset following the introduction of the revised assessment process. You have two strikes under the new process, regardless of previous results.

    hahahaha- throw me some of that popcorn!!!! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- You are now coming across as an angry twelve year old who's had his train set taken away. hmmm...seems pretty insulting. Notice that there are several who are so up tight they can crack walnuts...

    oh dear....the insults have begun...inability to debate methinks. Give me some of that popcorn! So its' farewell to Regd as he bows out of the forum.......we'll see... Psychometric tests are universally questioned as to their validity. This is indisputable. Therefore, if you...

    Two strikes and you're out....or are you....

    I can't be bothered going back to look- I don't want to post 1000 messages on a forum. Unfortunately, some people don't really realise what a debate or a forum means or some of the definitions. That makes it really hard to have a sensible debate. I put a message of encouragement to those...

    You see how it all gathers with the 'I guess you failed stuff'....! Let's stay out of the kindergarten kids and stick with the message.. If you are worried, as many on here are, be careful of the delusions of grandeur and keep going as you might get in next time.....it's not a test for...

    Not that tired old childish reply... Don't be intimidated by people with nothing better to do than to disparage your chances and avoid giving you some encouragement- JUST KEEP GOING- IGNORE THE NONSENSE

    Not for me, for the others who are discouraged by the self-absorbed claptrap on here- HAVE ANOTHER GO Unfortunately some posts on this thread don't understand the use of logic- here it is simply: By your logic, all MPs are the best for the job. That is not the case as I'm sure we all...

    - 'the tests are based on science' ; talk about ignorance- this is the most cost-effiective method they can devise- so science is always right is it?- you also have zero facts it bears a relation; - the best drivers do not necessarily pass- this hardly needs to be explained surely? The...

    What's wrong with shunters? DONT ANSWER THAT! Ok, i'm not staying on here all day- I don't need to post often, some people post 1000 on here- speaks volumes. The tests are arbitrary. They bear no relation to railway operations. I am unaware of a number of dots appearing in front of you...

    Dakta is correct. The tests bear no reality to day to day operation on the railway. This is why the view peddled by some on here that if you cannot do the tests you should give up and not keep trying is just wrong. The best drivers are not those who pass the tests. The tests are...

    Two strikes and you're out....or are you....

    My message for those who have failed the tests in the old process, have in fact two further attempts and should not give up- this is a simple message. Some posters, for some reason, could be lack of intellect, spite, or some kind of sadistic enjoyment seem to want to invent information to put...

    Two strikes and you're out....or are you....

    There's no slanging match from most of us, but yes, these forums do contain many dysfunctional characters who get pleasure from that sort of thing! My final word would be one of encouragement to those who feel deterred and for some reason are assisting in their negativity by many on here...

    The online assessments do not count as a failed attempt, only the full assesments as detailed above run by OPC at a field location such as hotel, etc where you undertake the tasks. You can take as many of the online assessments as you like, but some stipulate a few months between apps.
