Good Afternoon All, can anyone assist me with a question about practice materials, I have recently been successful at the initial interview with Northern, and I have received the practice material. I would like to know people's views on the relevance of this material to the actual tests, was it good practice or am I well advised to source other materials. If so, can anyone recommend a particular source please? I have done the usual Internet searches which have brought up a couple of options eg how2become.com/train driver tests, but I need to use my time wisely and only commit to the ones which will improve my chances.
Many thanks for any suggestions

The bits the TOC give you are OK.

Google bourdon test and there is an online one. I did that over and over. You soon just see 4 dots.

Alot of people use the train driver info website and buy the material off there. Seems to have the feedback.

Some parts really don't need practicing. From a personal pov.

The tones is literally counting and not sure how you can go wrong.

The plumber part you are just circling double symbols.

I'm not sure if all tocs are the same but mine went through each one before we started and it couldn't be more clear. And alot have practice goes before you start so you can ask questions.

Do You mind me asking which depot you have applied for and when please? It would be good to know where there is movement as there have been quite a few different locations advertised at different times.
