Well I don't think I'll be going for it again as my stage 1 opc results expire at the end of this year, I resubmitted exactly the same application that got me through to stage 1 before and still got rejected this time. I put my heart and soul into the application before and feel that I cannot...

Got my rejection email early hours too. Passed stage 1 late 2018 then failed at the stage 2 assessment day last year so resubmitted exact application that got me through the sift last time, but got rejected - such is life I suppose.

Yes I realised my error after I’d posted - meant to put East Midlands trains obviously - just getting over that nasty flu and lack of sleep got the better of me I’m afraid.

Stage 2 is what I failed on, don't know what exactly.

Hi all, I failed at Assessment day stage a year ago but my OPC results are valid til November so I'm considering reapplying this time, just weighing up if I want to put myself through it all again as was gutted at failing last year. Has anything changed at all now it's not Midland Mainline and...

Congratulations Optimist

Thanks Amanda and good luck to you when you go for yours again in 6 months. I shall probably reapply after the six months/when they advertise jobs again, just gutted today, feel like I've put a lot of hard work in for nothing and am a failure, know others are in the same boat though, will just...

Same as you JDMFTW I had the unsuccessful email too. It's a shame the email doesn't give any clues as to what actually needs improving if anyone went for it again. Makes you question what you did wrong and what you did right.

Good luck to everyone taking part in assessment days tomorrow

It's around 2 and a half hours. I took mine end of November and it started at 1pm and we were finished around 3.30pm.

That's good news, at least you now know you definitely have the up to date material, good luck

The practice material that was sent out later in 2018 had 2016-2017 on the front, just have a look at yours as up to page 40 was stage 1 practice and then from page 41 onwards was the computerised tests, perception test, 2 hand co-ordination, situational judgement, multi modal interview info...

Just completed the online assessment, can't say I particularly enjoyed that. Just managed to complete all the verbal reasoning questions and managed 16 out of the 18 numerical reasoning ones in the allocated times, maths isn't my strong point so how I've done I don't know :'(

Well done Amanda

Good luck all with the online assessment, I ordered a cheap wired mouse on eBay that was only £2.39 delivered, I'll do mine later this week when I have the mouse and time to sit down properly and concentrate on it.
