New email address. Some different answers geared more towards safety. Still didn’t pass.

There's no point. They offer no feedback so you'll never know where you're going wrong or what question is causing you to fail, so all you'll do is annoy yourself.

The sjt is probably subjective anyway. I passed quite a few . Two with the toc I drive for , passed two with the toc I did my psychometrics with. I passed with a few other companies that offered me interviews , yet failed one with another toc . Don't worry yourself too much , just keep trying.

 

[MisterWhippy]

I’ve just received this email. Interesting!

 

[Ace91]

Likewise

 

[na281093]

Yes me too.

I’ve just received this email. Interesting!

Good to see the process is running like a Swiss watch...

 

[Rachelftd]

Thank god! I was so confused because I thought I did pretty well on the assessment! The only one I struggled with was should I help the old lady find her seat and risk being late?

This actually doesn't surprise me, the fail rate here did seem suspiciously high... Still, how did some people manage to pass?

 

[Busyboy89]

I’ve just received an email inviting me to the next stage, another online test? Anyone else had this? Already done 2 online tests? X

 

[Busyboy89]

Just tried to do it, it’s just saying both completed, there’s no more online tests to complete. I’m a little confused ‍♀️

 

[na281093]

Done the 2 tests there. First one was easy and I think I did good but the 2nd one was in my opinion hard. I won’t be surprised or have any complaints if I fail there, never mind get in the highest scoring bracket. Good luck to everyone.

What was the 2nd one?

 

[xabi83]

Yeah likewise with the email and then when i log in it shows that both tests have been completed. Strange, I’ve emailed them anyway.

Same as you - done the two tests online and have the same email as you. I've checked and double checked yet I'm lead to believe there is only the two tests?

Slightly confusing tonight.

 

[Caad12]

What was the 2nd one?

Checking the data for transport of goods - codes, destinations, company names, etc.

 

[na281093]

What was the 2nd one?

I had a series of 12 small paragraphs about different topics with 4 statements below and you had to pick whether the statements were basically either TRUE / FALSE / DONT KNOW based on what the text in the paragraph was.

Not had that one. Random tests I think was mentioned earlier in thread.

The pass/fail rate seems fair, they have a lot of applicants to weed out. I passed the SJT and the assessment after. From what I gather there is supposed to be at least 3 assessments and I've managed to skip one in the middle

 

[na281093]

For me it went SJT, Error check test with tables and then once I done that immediate invite on to the paragraph/statement type of test

 

[xtradj]

ive been sent two error checking tests, both the same test. one says error checking, the other says error checking - copy.

whats going on

Ahh right. Same two tests as you then the last test was missing. Hence why some of us are getting those emails tonight. Now it makes sense.

me too. I just cracked on and did it again and actually got about 10 further then second time haha. Now asking for the Verbal Reasoning to be done

So you did three tests?

did it appear after you did the duplicate test? Don’t know whether to do this duplicate or not

I also have these 2... do we need to do both? Jesus what a mess...

What did the error checking involve?

 

[na281093]

So you did three tests?

Yes pretty much, the SJT was when I applied initially and then the other 2 were just now.
