Its possible you could have all five answers in a photo but as you aren't told the answers during the test you'll never know know. It's best to just select the answers after each photo as best you can. You won't see a bus 'turning' up, the photos are shown for less than a second at the most...

No these are the only answers mate. They do point out that buses, motorbikes and cars all come under motor vehicles though. Good luck!

Hi Other than the practice materials you can buy through the first few links that come up when you Google the above tests then not really mate. They are very straightforward. The WAFV is literally staring at a computer screen at a grey square. You have to press a green button every time the...

Thanks for the advice and good luck too Jon

I remember talking about signing on, picking up a diagram, checking for any notices that may affect me, speed restrictions, changes to stock, safety notices. Being responsible for hundreds of passengers and getting them to work etc on time and safely. Insanely that's probably all I said. I...

Yep a lot of it has to be how you perform on the day I suppose but thinking back to some of my examples just makes me cringe. Don't know what I was thinking :-( @ theironroad - Cheers for that, felt I stood a good chance and had revised enough but ultimately I let myself down, can't blame...

Yes had my feedback. In a nutshell: Examples given for organisation and safety were too weak. Lack of understanding of the role of a mainline driver. A touch too desperate for the job. I'm kicking myself as I work within a depot there are loads of suitable examples I could've...

Hi spider8 yes I have shared your view n the past, seen it with my own eyes - fact! In this instance though my TOC contacted me a month ago out of the blue as a vacancy had been created at one of my chosen depots. I met only 1 other candidate on the assessment applying for the same vacancy...

Yes I can relate to that, especially relying on follow up questions. I felt I answered questions very well but some of my answers needed prompting. Maybe too vague, after all you're being marked on what is written down hence what you choose to say, NOT what is read between the lines on the day...

Cheers for that mate. It's all about getting the feedback at this point as I'm at a lost to where I went wrong in the interview really. You can only pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again. Perseverance pays off n all. Right now gutted doesn't come close but I'll keep trying and...

I sat mine yesterday. I found that out of all the competency based questions I'd prepared for only 2 of them were asked. The rest of the questions apart from the 'tell us about yourself' ones I wasn't that well prepared for in all honesty. However as the interview progressed I felt I was...

I've got mine tomorrow, I have an idea what they'll be asking. What questions did they ask you dazzayid? Cheers

Hi mate. I sat my assessment a couple of weeks ago and did all 7 elements. GBT - Done on paper with my TOC, left to right. TRP 1 & 2 Part 1 - Listen to a recording about the application of GLOP whilst reading the same info from a card then answer something like 18 questions in 7 minutes. Very...

Ooops! My apologies, the two tests look identical!?

Blimey, I've only just seen this message, sorry mate Im no use to you now but how did you get on?
