Did anyone get a question on boots and how good they look? I was genuinely confused by this one. It kind of threw me I really couldn’t care less what they looked like as long as they were comfortable but I was really wondering what they were looking for here.

I completed my initial tests on Friday 15th and have just been sent my SJT invitation now (7 working days later) I did give myself a time frame to hear back between Monday-Friday this week if I was going to be invited at all! Just thought I’d share for anybody still waiting. Don’t give up hope yet.
Good luck all.
Good luck all.

it must be when people do the tests at different times as to how/when they respond. still plenty of time for people I would think.
anyone heard anything back as of yet ?

Hi
I am sure I put stop at the next station & go for a 5 minute walk on the platform.
What did u put ?
I think they said they were uncomfortable as well .
If I remember correctly but there was a lot of information in these questions.
I think they where asking
Who would you go to
Manager or work place rep or just get on with it .
I said I would ask manger about boots.
They are part of your safety equipment PPE .
So I would say the manager
To raise your concerns.
Good luck

that's what I put also am sure, but that question am sure the other 2 out of 3 where interchangeable

Definitely as it’s subjective to each person
Ye I agree and as each question appears to be worded differently with slightly different options for each person (or atleast 2-3 versions of each question) it would be important to guess what they are looking for. It will just be a case of if you clicked what they are looking for the computer will put you through to the next stage.

I disagree. I think if you tick every single number 1 answer they would want that could be a red flag. It’s finding the sweet spot of picking mostly 1’s and 2’s.

Good luck
everyone will find out soon enough if you’ve made the grade with the answers you have given I suppose.
No fair enough I agree with that I guess it's looking for a true representation of your character.
Cheers, same to you
I doubt that,
Some people will be able to score 8 out of 8 on this fairly easily and shouldn't be penalised for it.
The 1st test though I agree with that sentiment.
There is no right an wrong to the first one, just consistency of values.
The sjt there is definitely a right and wrong.

yeah some of the answers you can tell straight away it wouldn’t be that but some are interchangeable also.

I'd imagine it would be the assessment centre for stage 1 paper tests
I suspect its another round of shortlisting were they pick the best of the best who passed their online assessments, looking at CVs and the written answers given in your application then an assessment centre. Unless scotrail do the assessment centre next then shortlisting for the DMI.

No idea as this is my first time applying for the railway. But I’ve been doing loads of research just incase I get through the SJT. Better been prepared than not

What is there to say? its just a waiting game now until we all get the results
Exactly I’m waiting but pretending I’m not bothered but all the while thinking I’m really bothered. Never applied for a job before where I felt so invested in. I haven’t studied any of the further stuff because I’m assuming I’ve failed. I’m taking it one stage at a time and giving my all every stage. I’ll still be heartbroken if I don’t get through though. Best of luck to everyone refreshing emails every 10 mins. I’m on the same pathWhat is there to say? its just a waiting game now until we all get the results
