They’re wrecking my head hahaHave just completed the 3 OPC trial tests sent. I actually enjoyed them, watch this space
Hahaha well they would, wouldn't they? It's for a train drivers job heheheThey’re wrecking my head haha
Actually...there were only 2 on part 1 that I just couldn’t figure out haha! Part 2 & 3 aren’t too bad either. Glad that’s done now hahaHahaha well they would, wouldn't they? It's for a train drivers job hehehe
Yeah 3 parts for me..Core Skills Abstract Reasoning Test Part 1/2/3! Must be testing different ones out of different people haha!3?? I only had 1 test split into 5 parts! Maybe different one for different people?

In fairness to @Red1980 he does make a valid point. There isn’t much to be gained from criticising Avanti’s approach to recruitment. They presumably have their reasons and, at the end of the day, it’s their train set .
If you’ve passed to enhanced level at another TOC, why not back yourself to get through Avanti’s tests? Nothing ventured nothing gained!
Thank you so much for your wise words. I and others were actually just pointing out that Avanti make a point of choosing to do a different interview style to all other TOCs which in turn penalises every other MMI pass if failed. I’m sure many in this position wouldn’t take the risk of doing the CBI and possibly failing and therefore never being able to become a train driver ever again. Everyone in this post is so positive and helpful, we’ve all helped each other since day one of these jobs being advertised and don’t need such a negative post
3 for me too!Same for me
They might want to mix the OPC assessments up a bit, as people go into the tests nowadays knowing so much about them! If those tests were timed though I’d have stressed out haha!Same for me
That just proves that the OPC are trialling a number of different tests and we've all been given different ones to do. I agree with your commentsJust finished the new demo tests from OPC. I was originally invited to the Core D tests ("Core Skills Diagrammatic Reasoning Test" parts 1-5) but just before I started I got an email saying they'd had lots of responses and no longer needed any more testers. Instead I was invited to a different set ("Core Skills Abstract Reasoning Test" parts 1-3) with the same deadline but it was possible to email OPC and regain access to the Core D tests which I did.
I completed both sets of tests by this morning and I'd concur with other posters that they were interesting and useful. If you still have your invite and can take a look before the deadline it's worth it.
Been invited to an assessment centre in July. Emails must be going out to people today. Good luck all
Me tooBeen invited to an assessment centre in July. Emails must be going out to people today. Good luck all
Rumour had it you were going to decline it as you would lose your MMI pass !Me too
Not a rumour Awaiting on an reply from the OPC, I’m just going from what other people have said about how it works, I’d rather hear it from the OPC themselves before doing anything haha!Rumour had it you were going to decline it as you would lose your MMI pass !
To be honest, it doesn’t make it any more accurate as they themselves often tell people different thingsNot a rumour Awaiting on an reply from the OPC, I’m just going from what other people have said about how it works, I’d rather hear it from the OPC themselves before doing anything haha!

The email just said; On the day itself we will be potentially asking you to complete the following tests so please prepare for all of them:did they state the tests you’ll be doing on the day?
