Hello,

I've been invited to take some online assessments for an Apprenticeship role at Abellio ScotRail.

I have taken these assessments before, and I believe I failed the calculations assessment. Does anyone have any tips for this, anyone who has taken it before and what they did to pass?

Thanks for any help.

Which role was it for? I applied for the customer service apprenticeship with Scotrail and did the online assessment on the 22nd of April. Have you heard back?

If it is the same as the calculations one I sat , they are a bit difficult in terms of trying to complete some of the calculations during the set time given. Did you even hear anything back?

Yes, I sat the calculations test and scenarios based test. I did the practice test for the calculations one and got them all correct, but there was a few tricky ones in the actual one which were impossible to do in the 10-20 seconds you get for it.

I got an email yesterday inviting me for an interview next week. They said it’s from 10am-4pm, with a lunch break in between and as part of it you are required to do a presentation on “something which interests you.”

Congratulations! Yeah I passed all the practise ones aswell but same as you the timing threw me off during the actual test, still think I done ok though.
The position ive applied for isnt the apprenticeship so not sure what the next stage is if successful but it did say "assessment centre" so might be something similar.... I hate presentations so I hope not lol.
