Thanks for this. How long does each test last for? Also, how long does the STL last for and how many questions?? Do you get enough time?

There’s being helpful and being extra helpful. Answered earlier in the thread. 5 minutes each vse and 70 minutes sjt

Completed them both about an hour and a half ago...has everyone who failed/passed received emails already? Got about 6 wrong on part 2 and 8 on part 3....part 3 wrecked my head haha! Never concentrated so much in my life haha!

 

[Trackman2]

so im the only one who got a rejection email immediately?

 

[Craigk8163]

I think it was only the one person who said he got the unsuccessful email straight away.

 

[Trackman2]

that was me.

 

[Craigk8163]

not many have said they’ve completed it mate.

 

[puffpuffgive]

I finished about 5 mins ago and have been fearfully refreshing my email, hoping not to see anything

 

[Octopus28]

Yeah agreed, don’t worry Trackman you won’t be the only one

 

[Trackman2]

Yeah agreed, don’t worry Trackman you won’t be the only one

it couldve been an error. i will definitely be chasing it up.

Definitely, you’ve got nothing to lose. Especially seeing as it said, you have to wait about 10 days after the deadline which is May 7th

 

[Cassy j]

do you only get invited to the sjt if you pass the vse??

 

[Octopus28]

No you do both at the same time

Good luck to everyone who’s just done theirs. My mouse doesn’t arrive from Argos until tomorrow evening so I’m patiently waiting to take the test . I see from this forum that the practice material is actually completely different to the real test. I’m clear on the first part, but slightly confused about the second. Is the second part of the ‘VSE’ 2 symbols lighting up at the same time and you have to click wether they match or not?

Good luck for tomorrow!! You get a practice go before doing part 1/2 anyways so wouldn’t worry. Yes you have to say NO if they match (meaning NO error) and YES if they don’t match (meaning YES there’s an error)

Great, thanks Octopus. Much clearer in my head now

I contemplated it, but I thought I wouldn’t risk it incase it proved to be my downfall. Good luck to you though.

If you failed you’d always think..would I have passed using the mouse! Well I would anyway haha

 

[Railroader22]

Yep, exactly my thoughts

 

[PlexiDriver]

Anyone still waiting?

 

[Ana D]

Anyone still waiting?

Yes, and we’re not the only ones )))

 

[Erowe]

Yes

 

[Ana D]

I always recommend a mouse, much faster, bigger precision , you can click quicker , you don’t lose extra important seconds. By the time you slide your finger, click on the mouse is done.

I was similar, none wrong on part one, probably about 5 on the second one because i couldn't get my head round the "yes" "no". On the third I made 1-2 mistakes on the track and probably about 10 on the signs. I also got double losses for hitting a fraction too late.

Just saw the answer to my question in the forum

 

[Cassy j]

I only had to do the VSE not sure if its because I've already passed the SJT at the OPC last year?
