Make sure you are absolutely clear on the instructions for each test before you begin. Ask as many questions as you need to in order to understand what you're about to do. Don't compare yourself to the others in your group, since the tests are graded on a combination of speed and accuracy. Other people will power through and answer more questions than you, but that doesn't mean they were correct answers.

The night before, collect all the documents you need to bring, plan out what you're going to wear, and plan your route to get to the test centre 15 minutes early. That way, the morning of your assessment will be stress-free. Make sure you eat something, even if you don't normally eat breakfast.

Finally, good luck on your tests!

The London Midland assessment team are so friendly and helpful when it comes to making sure everyone is happy and all questions are answered before the tests begin. The room itself where you take the tests is by the driving simulators and very comfortable and well lit, was a nice environment! I'm sure Sheila did my tests and she was very reassuring. Test themselves are done back to back with toilet breaks in between every 2 tests if needed. The TEA-Occ is one to watch out for, done in 3 stages you'd think it would build up in difficulty but IMO the hardest part is part 1

Best of luck

Next will be the Manager's interview. After that the WAFV, ATAVT, 2 Hand Coordination and WCT. If they go well then the SJE and MMI. Acronym overload! Lol. Best of luck. I found out about 2 weeks after that I'd passed!

I expect that counting the low tones in part 1 is not easy as it seems. Probably a good thing that in the end they did not choose to implement that part of the TEA-Occ test where you also have to count the high tones as was suggested in an earlier document from the RSSB.

Still, it is only a short exercise so it should be quite easy to practice if you can improvise.

Yes, counting the low tones was rather difficult. I did it using my fingers on the desk (making sure to be silent), but in a couple of places the tones are very rapid so it's easy to lose track.
