Congratulations! We must’ve been a pretty good group haha!! From what I’ve read throughout this thread, sometimes the mmi is done on the same day, and others have said they had theirs separate! So I’d say prepare just incaseCongratulations, I had convinced myself I had failed so also relieved to find out I had passed. Was in the same group as you
Out of curiosity, would the MMI be on the day of the computer tests, or after?
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! It’s usually a reaction test, perception test, keeping a ball on a track test (can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head) and the situational judgement test
Yeeh so after your computer assessments you’ll have a 45 minute break while they check the results etc and then if you pass you’ll have your MMI.Congratulations, I had convinced myself I had failed so also relieved to find out I had passed. Was in the same group as you

Congratulations!!
you probably wrote down your mmi answered after your paper assessments? Just prepare them answers in the STAR format.
If you want to use a different answer you can just let them know you would like to use a different answer
Good luck with that. Quick turn around for you
Thank you, tell me about it, wasn’t expecting to be booked in so quick! Need to get some serious practising in now lol

I'll be with you. Turn around has been crazy. Alot of prep needed over the next week!
Thanks you for this. That's really helpful!
I know I’m really shocked too! Snap, I downloaded some software earlier before I even had the email hoping I’d have a bit longer to practise haha!

Cardiff depot I applied for xx
First time posting after diligently watching the forum for over a year!
I had my paper tests in Chester this afternoon, they said we should hear back within a week and then computer tests/mmi would be in Cardiff (if I pass today’s tests obviously!).
good luck to everyone and thanks for everyone’s advice on here-it’s a great source of info xx

Hi, the info they emailed said it would be paper, computer and mmi but actually it was just paper tests.
yep all the tests you’ve mentioned and I’ve got to say I was so anxious but actually once you’re there it’s really fine, the assessor was patient and explained to people to needed clarification and it wasn’t scary at all.
There were no curve balls and nothing you haven’t read about already within the thread, it’s really not a bad couple of hours at all. Good luck! X

Morning.
Does anyone know...with the perception test you are shown an image, for how long? I am practising on 1 second. Also are the potential answers always the same i.e. ‘car, lorry, motorcycle, traffic light, traffic sign’ or could they be ‘what colour was the second car on the right’ ‘what was the speed limit’ etc!? Any help would be much appreciated. X

Morning, if I recall correctly, you are always looking for the same items. They aren't trying to trip you up with specific information like speed limits or colours etc. I stand to be corrected, its been four years since I did mine.
And my advice is, if you think you saw an item, then you probably did, don't start second guessing yourself with 'did I, didn't I'. The brain picks up so much information quickly, if you think you saw it then tick it.

Hi all. Only just registered after spending the week looking through this thread. Just had the paper tests at Chester and wanted to say thanks to everyone who has contributed in here. I don't think think I could have been anymore prepared thanks to you all!
Good luck and let us know how you get on! Xx
Do you mind me asking what software please? I'm still awaiting invite to first assessment. Had an email over week ago saying date shortly so waiting very patiently.
Great thread here btw. Hello all!
I’ve downloaded software for the 2nd stage assessments from traineetraindriverinfo.com they have all sorts of different software on there and how2become also have software for trainee train driver assessments, good luck for when you get your date and keep us updated! X
Brill thanks. I've registered with how2become already for research, forgot about the software they do. Fingers crossed, have read there's a wait for some between tfw requesting NI number and assessment date. Glad to be past application sift and all very exciting. Good luck in your process and thanks for the reply
Thank you
Good luck with it all
The wait might not be that long for you
I had a weeks notice The NI number request came with the invite to assessment
Great news
Don’t know much about it but from what I’ve seen up thread Mainline might be the way to go
Check out the Driver routes post at the top of the Jobs and Careers section might help you to decide
