TFL apprenticships ability tests

[mrredrunner100]

hi

i have applied for the london underground operational apprenticship and i have got through the situational strengths test so far and they have asked me to take an abilities test next that will be timed. i have a few questions for this

what sort of things am i likley to get tested on? they have sent me a link to practice questions and im not sure which ones i need to do to practice

also it mentions about getting reasonable adjustments for the timed test and i have aspergers and dyspraxia which affects me and in my GCSE's i got 25% extra time and im wondering if they would give me the adjustment. i have called tfl but no reply yet

any help would be great

thanks

Mrrdrunner,

Are the practice tests they have sent you from a company called SHL, or are they using something different for apprentices?

Yep it's SHL

If you spend some time on Google, there are SHL online sample tests available that will get you used to doing the online version of them before you go and do the one for the assessment.

The standard tests that I know to be carried out are the Numerical Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning tests, the Mechanical Reasoning might not be a bad idea either.

(I don't have anything to do with TfL apprenticeships so don't take what I say too seriously, especially for operational apprenticeships, not my field. There are people on this forum better placed for operational TfL recruitment questions.)
