Hi mate ,yeah last Wednesday, haven't heard anything yet.you had yours yet ?
Deadline is Wednesday I’m gonna do them tomorrow I think. Few people got a day in Crewe on the 4th I think. Was hoping maybe would get on that if I passed the tests.

Hi there not really commented on here b4 I've recently done the VSE and M7 for Avanti the other night for Liverpool vacancy I absolutely smashed the M7 VSE part 1 and 2 but part 3 it was so tough think I made about 8 errors I was fuming with myself but lesson learned for next time I suppose good luck to everyone who gets through

Also on here I've seen that people saying they only had a couple of errors on track I had loads on test 3 semi circles pauses different colours skipping extra dots it was alot more intense

Yes this, but there were no pauses however on part 3. Semi circles yes, skipping stops yes, changing colour yes, more than one dot yes, reversing dots , but no pauses. It was a constant speed

Any Wolves applicants heard back since the original 5 tests? I’ve not had any correspondence since submitting the 5 tests on the 14th March, deadline was 15th March. Not even a 28 days letter.

Yes, a few of us have sat the VSE test already. I have received the 28 day letter too. I’m sure you will hear something soon

I'm still waiting to hear back too, submitted mine on the 13th for a 15th deadline. No 28 day email either.

It doesn't appear to be an indication of whteher an applicant has made it through to the next stage, so I'm just going to try and wait patiently until I hear something.

Does anyone know if they do the Edinburgh and Polmadie tests at Crewe as well or if they get done in glasgow? Just trying to be hopeful on getting to next stage and planning for event of it being Crewe as if it is it would need at least a couple days off work short notice.
Ah best of luck! Yeah hopefully! Thanks for the quick reply.
I’ve also received the 28 day email.

Yeah I agree, I think like others have said, until we hear either way, we’re still in the process. Fingers crossed we hear something soon.

On the email I received from OPC it says you get 60 mins for both tests. On the log in page it says 50 mins for VSE and 80 for M7. Is this right?

Nope still waiting!! Not even had 28 day letter either x

Invited to Crewe for the next stage. (Wolves applicant)
No way congrats!! I wonder why it’s all so different for other applicants who haven’t heard anything yet?
