ATW Trainee Conductor Assessment Day

[snowdonwhite]

Hi there - my first post here......but have been dipping in and out over the past few weeks!

Got my email confirming my attendance at next weeks trainee conductor assessment day - happy days! Has anyone attended one recently and can shed any light on what to expect? I've heard its an interview with SCATT test and group exercise. If anyone can give me any further guidance, I will be eternally grateful as I've been trying for ages to get on board!

Cheers

Not ATW, but had one for LNWR. They emailed practice material to me before the test, I will be surprised if ATW don't do the same. Practice makes perfect. I always find these tests easy, but others struggle, I guess you either have the mindset for them, or not-which is probably what they are designed to find out!

We had a ticketing test, which tickets are valid, and if not, why not?
We had a dot test-circle all the groups of 4 dots and ignore all others.
We had a ticket selling test, sell the correct ticket at the correct fare.

Good luck

Cheers Deaf Dog! The SCATT tests are okay - pick certain letters out of a grid I find quite easy.....just the group exercise !
