Hi all,
Very new to this thread as I only found it after doing my part 1 on Tuesday. I’m an external candidate so reading this thread has been really helpful although I wish I’d found it sooner.
I thought it went ok apart from the dials test, I completely lost track of time and only answered 20 out of 43. I double checked these answered but I’m guessing because I answered less than 50% it’s probably not going to be great news. Does anyone who has passed have any views?

The only thing I can suggest is that it's not about answering them all, it's how accurate you were also.
Hey, I was there Tuesday as well going through some of the old threads people pass with 18 all correct so if ur accuracy is there I don’t see why you couldn't pass I think the beeps messed me up lol think I got the correct amount but second guessing, wait to find out I guess
Thanks for the reply, that’s reassuring.
Yeah it’s amazing how something that seems so simple can mess with your head.
Good luck
I answered about 21-22 and passed to enhanced.

It usually takes about 2 weeks on average to get results.
Be patient, stage 2 starts the beginning of April (for those already in assessments not those at DMI or further back) so you've not got long to wait

Haven’t had any results yet. On the dials I got to question 33 but found remembering the paragraph a bit difficult. Hopefully hear something this week

Hi guys, I’m hoping someone might be able to help me, I’ve been given an interview for a weeks time and was wondering what to expect and how best to prepare for it as I’m very nervous!!

It'll be a DMI. Plenty of information on this thread and this forum in general. Using the search function at the top searching for DMI will be your best option.
Use the STAR model was the best tip I got. Think of some examples for safety critical incidents. Good luck

Yes there is a car park a couple of minutes walk away fairly cheap for the day.
