this is a great program thanks
I know there are quite a few omissions,(what does omitted mean?) but for the first sheet at least i was working out what to actually do and how to control it. this was on the SCAAT mode but can anyone tell me if this is good for a first attempt

Looking at your previous posts mrredrunner100 you're still at school (is that correct?).
If so then ignore the comment above and just keep trying. You have plenty of time to perfect this test before you're old enough to apply so don't worry.
If your dream is to be a driver then that is what you should aim for.
You've already taken the first step by researching the application process.
I hope you get to do it one day.
By continuously practicing this test does give a false impression of a candidates abilities, if you cannot concentrate you cannot concentrate. Possible using other tools to hone your concentration is far better than practicing a gbt. I do worry as if a driver loses concentration at a critical time they may kill people!

Yeah, but this kid is 16/17 so doesn't need knocking back at this stage.
I just thought your comment to 'forget it' was a bit harsh.
I have no idea as I have never met the member in question but I see some people on my travels, encased in headphones, tapping away on mobiles for the entire journey complete oblivious to the outside, and you think, never in a thousand years.

Sorry but the age is irrelevant if the said candidate cannot concentrate or doesn't have a natural ability to concentrate they may hone their career on being a train driver and waste a lot of time that can be used on other careers.
They have time, time to mature and get into that work ethic that you need to be a driver, or whatever they want to be.

That is probably the worst score I have seen. If that is all you can do I would forget it.

yes i do really want to be a train driver, i have been in to trains since a young age and it is my dream to drive trains![]()
Really odd question, and for this I will assume that the SCAAT program here is like the one when getting tested by a TOC. but if that is the case at the end of the 1 min for each sheet, say you was to move onto the next symbol and as soon as you did the time ran out before you could mark it, that's still an omission i guess? as unfair as that would be.
I have never met him/her either but suspected it was a young person by the tone of the post and simply looked through some old posts to confirm.
Please don't tar everyone with the same brush.
I see adults happily texting away, drinking, fixing makeup etc. on the M62 every day. That doesn't mean everyone does the same.
I think it's great that someone of that age is already planning their career and chasing their goal.
A little encouragement goes a long way in my opinion. And it will be a very sad day when youngsters are discouraged from pursuing a career in the Rail Industry (or any industry come to that) simply because they are young and have yet to acquire the necessary skills.
im guessing your stereotyping here because there are young people that aren't like that, just because people have seen programmes like the only way is essex (which i have never watched by the way but i know what the programmes like) and other things like that they immediatly get the image of what young people are like and yes i agree there are some people that are oblivious to the outside world but there are younger people and people in general like me that aren't like that, that go out and do something different, achieve stuff, voluenteer, explore the world and stuff so your sterotype is a bit unfair, yes i see people on my travels on the train that are on their phones a lot on the train but then there are also young people which i see that arent on thier phones all the time and look out the window, talk to fellow passengers and other stuff so it is not completly as you see it, its only when you get to know the person that then you know what they are like and if they are likley to be "encased in headphones, tapping away on mobiles for the entire journey" or not.
Well I've had a little practice with the download and on paper and I'm getting there slowly.. I've got an assessment in a little over a week and my information pack suggests they don't do the Scaat test? I've had a couple of goes though as it must be good for reaction and memory which will help.. Below are my results so far... I know I need to reduce the omissions but can I get to the required standard within a week?? We shall see...

I think I've got some work to do....
Cheers, l keep working on it... I managed zero omissions but only averaged 6 or 7 lines per sheet. Slower seems to work but that might be a little too slow?
Although there is no clear pass mark on this I heard that you must score at least 96% accuracy with at least 51% of the paper complete....
You heard wrong
. I was under the impression you had to complete as many rows as possible, but reading comments on here it would suggest that isn't the key. More so the accurary % as opposed to % complete...is that right? Overall Statistics:

Just given this a go, got my assessment next week. Results below. If you could give me feedback I'd really appreciate it. I was under the impression you had to complete as many rows as possible, but reading comments on here it would suggest that isn't the key. More so the accurary % as opposed to % complete...is that right?
Thanks.
