    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    Sorry to hear it. Thing is if you applied again and got identical results, that time you could go to the next stage if you are amongst the upper side of the results list that time compared to others

    What I want to know is what justification RSSB has for only allowing people to take the train driver tests twice in their entire lifetime but that's a moan for another thread :P

    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I haven't seen it any time I have looked, but it's probably like a lot of First Group jobs where it gets un and republished multiple times. It happened with Croydon Tram Driver 4 times over a week. The Trainee one this thread is for disappeared and reappeared at least 3 times too. Looks like...

    That's exactly why I kept quiet - I'm all for helping each other but if I gave someone advice and then they passed and I didn't, I'd be pissed 1781043218 Look what also came out today... https://careers.firstgroup.co.uk/jobs/qualified-train-driver-new-cross-greater-london-united-kingdom

    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I got to around almost 40, but of course don't know TRULY how many mistakes I made without screen recording and reviewing what I selected later - which I won't lie, I have done before. Like someone else and the email said, they can change the passing goal post to wherever they want to suit the...

    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    No harm sending an email with the evidence and asking, but equally messing up one, if you got far enough through, probably won't matter, and there is a small risk you could retake and actually do worse. But if you do want to ask the question, I can't see any harm in asking, at worst they say no...

    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I can't speak for First but I expect they won't allow you to unless you have evidence of how the test looked (e.g. screenshot) when you took it. They might see that as you using an excuse that you sucked and want another go which would be unfair to other candidates - just saying how they MIGHT...

    I don't think it told me but going by the progress dots at the top of the screen, I'd say 50

    I don't personally ever remember the examples being timed It's 10 minutes for the main test though

    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    It's not a difficult test to grasp so I feel that is enough examples. All you are doing is comparing data between a table of 6 rows and 4 columns, against a single row below, and identifying which columns (e.g. "Carrier Name" or "Priority") don't match the single row below. Your speed and...

    Some of you are so impatient that I don't think a train driving job is for you

    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I'm not worried, each time I've applied for First Group stuff in the past, I usually get a rejection email when I fail a test, at least of what I can remember, but could be wrong
