I'm in. Had email yesterday and then another one today saying will get links to tests tomorrow. Unclear whether all three need to be completed in one sitting or can complete one, then return to others later as long as it is before the final deadline. Good luck everyone!

When I did it, you could do a test then return to the others. However I opted to do all the tests in one hit, massive strain on the brain power doing one after the other!

Good luck

Hi everyone,
I've just completed those three tests in one hit, I think it went alright, but just have to wait and see.
How far did you get with the questions in the two tests?

Tests all done.
Also did them in one hit.
I think the timing was a bit tight on some of the questions,but I think it was ok.
Just got to wait and see now.

Yes, good luck! Just remember that we gave it our best shot, and I hope to see you there. Don't be disappointed if otherwise.

Got to question 35 on both before time out, not enough time for sure. the SCAAT was better using the mouse in my opinion.

All done.

SCAAT was generally awful. Gave me flashbacks of doing the Group Bourdon which i have previously failed. The other two were ok. I finished them both but that means nothing. It didn't help having my kids being noisy & interrupting me but that is just life. Will see what happens next. Good luck all.

Yes, SCAAT was a bit strange using the mouse (felt slow and uncoordinated but actually might have helped to minimise errors), but good luck and lets hope we get a reply this coming week about it. Don't know what tests would need to be done at the assessment day, storyboard, but don't know what that involves, and interview of course.

Which of the two positions do you guys prefer by the way?

Whilst i am not money driven i would only afford the IRM post (and that is a £10k paycut). So it is that or nothing really.

Well. That was much harder and more technical than I expected. Not too hopeful, but will keep fingers crossed. Don't appear to have answered as many questions as others have.

I didn't seem to answer as many of the questions either!!
Did not receive a confirmation email.
Just the message at the end of the tests saying the results had been saved.
Just got to sit tight and hope for an invite to the next assessments.

I would be going for the IRM post if possible, as I would also be looking at about a 10k pay cut! Would not rule out the other role though.

Good luck everyone!

Yep no email for me. I imagine they will wait until tonight when everyone has to do the tests. I think both roles would be interesting but unfortunately i am partly ruled by my mortgage. And er...wife.

Hi all, I think it just said results saved or something like that. If all goes well I'd be leaning more towards IRM, but I wouldn't complain about the other post. No idea who or how that would be decided.
I also completed the application for trainee train driver with Great Northern today, just wait now. Good luck!!

Unsure if anyone else has noticed this - I went onto my profile on the TFL Careers site and noticed in relation to this role that it did show an update on 8th March. However there isn't actually an update. I presume no one else has heard anything?

Where are you looking to see where it says "update"? I've checked messages on my profile page and there is nothing there. I'm still waiting to hear, but not too hopeful after pretty disastrous online tests!

It is isn't on the bit that shows you the emails you have been sent from TFL. It is just once you have logged in and cand see the the job listed that you have applied for. Near it is a bit where you can click to withdraw your application. As I say mine says last updated 8th March. Could be my mind playing tricks on me! I went back to th original email re the tests and it did say it could be 10 days or possibly more until we find out.

Could be a long wait, although they say 10 days. I know for the SIMs it was anything from 3/4 weeks to 10-12 weeks after doing the tests.

I believe they take the scores and create a group norm to figure out the highest scorers but I may be wrong! Fingers crossed for you all.

Just had the Dear John email.....very annoying. Hey ho. The news you want on a Friday afternoon.

I hope some people on here got through & good luck with the next stage if you did.

I've applied for the Traffic Manager role (it was advertised together under one advert as the IRM role). I've passed the SJT but waiting on news on the concentration, Following Instruction and Understanding Instructions tests.

Anyone else applied for the same role or heard anything back?

I'm out. Same email this afternoon. I was worried my performance on the test was not up to scratch, so not too surprised, but still disappointed.
