Just completed my VSE there, will attempt my M7 shortly! Part Three really does spice it up a bit!! I think from what I memorised I had no errors on Part One, 2 or 3 on Part Two and then on Part Three maybe 6 or 7? Here is to hoping that was adequate enough, MacBook mouse going a bit slow could’ve maybe prevented one or two of those in part three ;)!

Don’t be disappointed just yet, I can imagine there is a lot of tests they need to look through. Wait until that email which informs you! Fingers crossed for you bud

How do you know this, did you recieve an email?
Hi mate, nah no email as of yet but would have thought these are computer marked ...so if tests taken day after me have recieved their next invite and have a pass mark then possibly I've not me the standard ....
Yeah I know before you say it ,just got to keep positive but logic is talking in my ear too ;)

How do people think they done on part 3? I think I maybe missed 1 or 2 on the priority task. Is this bad news?
I guess no one really knows the passing criteria other than the OPC. Suppose we’ll just have to wait and see until that email comes! Genuinely have no idea if I done well or not well enough! If you’ve tried your best and remained calm when making the mistakes, I guess that’s all you can ask of yourself! :)

My apologies, must have missed that post.

But yes, you're in it until the OPC say otherwise. Patience and perseverance are a prerequisite for applying for any railway role. Took me nearly 18 months from application to start date as a conductor
Wow that's a long time. The date for mine closed on the 15th March, that seems so long ago when you are just awaiting for a pass or fail. How long did it take from application to interview?

6th, I have passed assessments with other TOCS and I might pull out depending how many more tests I might have to re do
Hi mate, which assessments did you pass with another TOC? I passed the paper and computer tests to enhanced level last year and also passed an MMI with another TOC. I haven't heard back from the application stage yet, I'm hoping I will only have to do the CBI and DMI.

Hi mate, all of them to a national standard. I felt they all went really well and might have even passed to enhanced so I am hoping the OPC let me know.

On invite it says that will tell you on the day you attend which seems odd!

Afternoon all,

Completed my VSE last week and deadline 29th. I noticed a extra error very late in stage 3 as I was so focused on the errors I had already spotted. I presume that error was there throughout so I'm thinking I did poorly and just waiting the failed email.

Only right as you need that focus to do the role. I wish you all good luck and hope to see many moving on to the next stage on here

Well Done! Best of luck, I’m still waiting from the initial 5 tests, so I’m not holding my breath. Fingers crossed!
