I’ve failed the mini SCAAT test for southern (gutted) but I also applied for thameslink in December and haven’t heard anything back. Can I assume that I won’t hear anything back for thameslink now as I’ve failed mini SCAAT for southern?
Definitely don't assume this!
I applied for GN, TL and Southern back in December.
So far I haven't heard a peep from GN but have completed everything up to and including miniSCAAT for TL and Southern. Interestingly, I got a no from TL following the miniSCAAT but a congratulations from Southern and am now invited into the next stage of the process with them.
Although I doubt my miniSCAAT results were exactly the same for TL and Southern there must be something different to get a yes from one and a no from the other. What the difference might have been is anyone's guess, I can only say I did my best on both tests (which were identical).
Hi!
My experience has been much the same as you I think. In my initial application my responses were just honest and short. I applied mid December and heard back early January. Then each subsequent Email came roughly seven days after I completed each test.
Now looking forward to attending the assessment day early February!
I agree with you regarding answers to questions at initial application. My answers were as short, direct and honest as I could make them and I made it through that sift and am now awaiting a date to attend psychometric tests. I saw several posts on this forum theorising that you needed to write x amount of words at a minimum. In my experience that was nonsense and being accurate, brief and clear got me through that part.
Does anyone know if they only accept enhanced passes only?
Yes, enhanced passes only for GTR.
