Hi SLR. Never applied for CSA so not sure and let's hope someone will be along to help soon. In the meantime, all I CAN say is try to relax, listen to instructions / read questions carefully and if in doubt, ASK!

Have you tried to find any practice tests on Google? Might be one on SHL.com At least if you've given it a go you won't be going in blind, so to speak...

Best of luck!

Hi, thanks for that info. I did look for some practice tests and could not find any, but I will have a look at that website now. Thanks again xxxxx

Try some of these on this page

I know these are the ones used by South West Trains, I have no idea if Virgin use these them though.

Yup - pretty sure I used this site for practice for mechanic comprehension test. Pleasantly surprised that I scored 3.21 in range of 2.5 to 3.5 for acceptable score range!

I can't say I've heard of Virgin using SHL tests for any of the CSA roles.

There will be a multiple choice comprehension test, where you're required to extract the relevant information from a case study. There will also be a Maths test, where you'll be presented with a menu, you'll need to add up prices so only basic arithmetic (no calculators!) addition/multiplication skills required. You'll also need to read a timetable and answer questions about journey times.
