E-mail this morning......passed the interview! Off to Watford next week for the next lot of tests! Just looked at the practice material though.......oh gosh.......
Quality mate, congratulations! Good luck with the tests next week im sure you will be fine!
I reckon I'll be OK with most of the tests, but there's one I've got serious concerns about, and if I'm going to fail, it will be that one!

Be positive mate, you have done so well to get this far! Im sure you will do well!
Evening folks!
Literally just joined the forum but I've been snooping on here for a while!
Had my interview at Carlisle on Monday. Received an email today saying that I've got the psychometric assessments at Watford on the 12th. Obviously I'm really chuffed!
Good luck with yours LRV3004. Sorry to hear you dipped out Borocarl88.

Awesome Well done Blakes, you have done so well to get this far and the end is near now, fingers crossed for you at the next stage! Good luck!
Hi LRV3004Nice one @Blakes, thanks, and good luck with your psychometrics!
I've been following this thread for a while - just wondered how you got on with the psychometrics - were they as hard/harder than expected? Hope you nailed it!
Hi @SAlty I passed all the tests, they were gruelling but at the same time not as fearsome as I thought! Just awaiting results of the interview now!
Fantastic! Hope it's good news for you soon - must be a nerve wracking time! How was the MMI?Hi @SAlty I passed all the tests, they were gruelling but at the same time not as fearsome as I thought! Just awaiting results of the interview now!
I'm hoping I did well enough, it seemed to go reasonably well; my current employment and its related tasks helped me to answer a couple of the questions really well! It's out of my hands now, just keep nervously checking my e-mails!
All the best with it mate - sounds like you may have smashed it! Did they say how long it would be before you hear...?I'm hoping I did well enough, it seemed to go reasonably well; my current employment and its related tasks helped me to answer a couple of the questions really well! It's out of my hands now, just keep nervously checking my e-mails!
5-7 working days hopefully; they said the results would be sent to DRS that same evening. Not sure when DRS will let me know however as there are more people sitting the tests next week apparently. Not sure if they'll tell me ASAP or wait until everyone has done the tests.
Cheers!
If the worst happens, I can reapply in 6 months and will only have to do the MMI; I won't need to resit the tests (luckily)!Oh that's a bit grueling - hope it's sooner rather than later. I 'may' be one of those going next week
but haven't told anyone! Did you meet the other candidates over dinner/breakfast or keep yourself to yourself...? (this is all very new to me).

I saw one of the others at breakfast but didn't realise he was one of them until we were in the test centre! He finished shortly after me so we walked back to the station together afterwards!Oh that's a bit grueling - hope it's sooner rather than later. I 'may' be one of those going next week

Quality mate, well done!! My fingers are still crossed you go all the way!Hi @SAlty I passed all the tests, they were gruelling but at the same time not as fearsome as I thought! Just awaiting results of the interview now!
Thanks for the info. Good luck to you!
@Blakes - good luck with your psychometrics tomorrow! Hope you're not too stressed! If it helps, I found that the tests weren't as scary as what I thought! Challenging, yes, but not as bad as what I thought either! Let us know how you go on - I'm still awaiting the results of my MMI!
