TDK, You make a good point... However, the TOCS send out an information pack with practice material to help prepare you for the assessment. You even have to confirm that you've had it for at least seven days to make sure it's a level playing field. The paperwork Actually recommends you practice...

It certainly did pay off. Many thanks TDK

I'm not sure about DBS but I did the paper version. I really wouldn't worry too much about it. It's a simple test designed to make sure you can focus and concentrate.... I just made sure I was accurate and worked at a steady pace. It's good to have a couple of practice goes so you know what to...

You're doing something wrong. Slow down and Mark the group's of 4, don't miss any and don't Mark any incorrectly. You've missed (omitted) 84? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- You're doing something wrong. Slow down and Mark the group's of 4, don't miss any and don't Mark any...

Yeah I agree, definitely wrong. I passed it today and probably managed a third of each sheet, maybe less. An element of speed is needed as someone on the assessment failed on it, but a steady pace is fine. Accuracy is key!

Well done mate, that's good news! Got my assessment on Tuesday

Sounds good! Thanks for the heads up... I can achieve that already so I just need to keep practicing. I won't get stressed about it but it's good to be prepared ?????? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I just had another couple of goes.. I dropped the speed right down and got zero...

What sort of stuff did they ask you? When do you think you'll hear back?

Cheers, l keep working on it... I managed zero omissions but only averaged 6 or 7 lines per sheet. Slower seems to work but that might be a little too slow?

Good luck with those results... Have you heard back yet? Sounds like a long old process?

Well I've had a little practice with the download and on paper and I'm getting there slowly.. I've got an assessment in a little over a week and my information pack suggests they don't do the Scaat test? I've had a couple of goes though as it must be good for reaction and memory which will...

Many thanks

Sensible advice Haikarate ( and I certainly wouldn't bug them) but I've always personally admired keenness when recruiting staff in the past. Anyway, they've got back to me now & I've been given an assessment day which is great news! Any advice from people that have recently been through...

Well, I emailed Southeastern three days ago to confirm they received my application and to see when courses are likely to happen, but they haven't replied? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Also, does anyone know of a contact number for SE recruitment? ??????

That's interesting... Hopefully that will mean my application will be close to the top of the pile as I've already sent it off to them :)

Hello guys, I've recently applied for trainee driver positions with both Southern and SE. Southern is not likely to come to anything due to my application being placed in a 'talent pool' with about 1500 others awaiting future positions. However I'm not sure what the current state of play is...

I got one as well... It's a shame they weren't screened though. They could just keep the applications that have passed the screening process for future roles then? This way nobody knows if their application was any good... Frustrating....:evil:

Put my application in on 12th February and I''ve been checking daily online to see if there are any updates. Hopefully won't have to wait too much longer...

I didn't realise they were taking on so many drivers! Hopefully my application makes the grade. I'm a twenty minute drive from Selhurst so the distance certainly won't be an issue. Good luck to all that have applied
