They’re all working from home as expected so drop them an email. I did as I’m waiting a start date and I got a call the next day.

Well I used one of the personal emails but yes they said that email to me if I have any further questions.

Just received this back:

Thank you for your email. I can see that your application is ongoing. Unfortunately, due to the current circumstances there maybe some delay. I have no further update for you.

I’m in the same boat as you, waiting for my mmi date.

I applied for a commercial guard position in basingstoke around abouts in Jan. I only just had an email yesterday saying I passed the screening and I'm awaiting a date for assessment due to COVID-19. What should I expect, anyone know? thanks.

It will be in Southampton at overline house. Tests will be::colour vision,maths,scaat,Raat, customer service situations,rvce(railway verbal communication). And ticket selling & checking. It's a long day & you are sent home as soon as you fail a test. You sit in a room together & if the door opens & your name is called then it's game over

Ah, okay. What kind of maths are involved in the test?

Usual stuff really. Some adding,some taking away and some times tables.
Also stuff like ? + 27 = 30 or 8 x ? = 40. I'm no whizz kid at maths but only 1 person failed in our group of 16.

Cheers, I wasn't really given a chance in school so Maths sort of go away from me after Year 8, among other things!

Guess I'll need to brush up on basic algebra, though. Want to give this my best shot.

Can I just ask if the SCAAT test is done with pen and paper?

 

[Nevergiveup]

There is no SCAAT test for train driver at SWR, it’s group bourdon instead which is done with pen and paper.

Can I just ask if the SCAAT test is done with pen and paper?

Although SCAAT should be done on pen and paper I guess
