Yeah I did my DMI last week and Group Assessment what seems like an age ago! It seems like a lifetime ago that the application form was filled in Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end!
Just completed the online assessment, can't say I particularly enjoyed that. Just managed to complete all the verbal reasoning questions and managed 16 out of the 18 numerical reasoning ones in the allocated times, maths isn't my strong point so how I've done I don't know
The practice material that was sent out later in 2018 had 2016-2017 on the front, just have a look at yours as up to page 40 was stage 1 practice and then from page 41 onwards was the computerised tests, perception test, 2 hand co-ordination, situational judgement, multi modal interview info, wct written communication test. Just check Amanda that you have those same things from page 40 onwards and I would've thought its probably the same?Hey everyone!
I managed to print off the practice material ahead of the stage 2 assessments but I just want to check it's still the same material that is being given out nowadays. It's what was sent to me ahead of my stage 1 assessments, but they were a year ago so I just want to make sure what I have is still current.
It's "RSSB Train Driver Assessment 2013-2014" .
Is that what everyone else has? I'm not expecting anything to have changed over the past year but I ought to be sure of that!

I can't imagine much will have changed, this is the railway industry after all...
Hi guys finally been invited to first stage assessment, is there parking available there or u have to find one or is train best option, how far is it from train station thanks.
Hi guys! Has anyone got stage 2 opc testing on the 31st January 9am?
Hi there Hasan Shah,
If your Stage 1 is at the Academy in Derby, parking is available out the front. If it’s full, then there is a Pay & Display car park next door and another at the station, which is a five minute walk away. (If even that, you can hear the station announcements from the academy )
Ahh brilliant! Well good luck, you'll have to let me know how you think you've done! How you feeling about it?Hey Olikay93, not on the 31st but mine is the day before.
Did mine today.... My head is pounding . Just glad its out the way, not sure how i have done.Just done the tests.... Don’t think I did very well at all lol, they were unnecessarily hard
Has anyone had the stage 1 date through this week? I’m on the 18th Feb.

1pm for me Dave91131, how’s the practice going?Hi - yes, 18th Feb for me too. In Derby.
Hi all, ongoing with the process which seems to be going very slowly. I was told last year around Nov 2018 that due to demand i wouldnt get a date for stage 1 assessment until sometime in New Year.
On Friday the 18th of Jan 2019 i finally received practice materials via e mail from the Talent Team but i still have not been given a date for the assessment as of yet.
Anyone in the same position ???? Any tips or ideas when next round of assessments will be ????
Regards......
That's good news, at least you now know you definitely have the up to date material, good luckHello, if you are in any doubt, e-mail Marie Perrygrove. When I was at the group assessments stage I overheard someone say they had received the e-mail from Talent Central before they'd received anything else, so they'd sent an e-mail in and then the one with the details of the assessments they were due to attend arrived afterwards. I would definitely send an e-mail just to be on the safe side.
In my news, I got a reply from Marie about the practice materials and now have the correct version which is dated the same as yours, López. Just need to print it out now. Again!
1pm for me Dave91131, how’s the practice going?
I have got my stage one tests on feb 19th. Any idea on how long the tests take?1pm for me Dave91131, how’s the practice going?
