My advice is take a day off, if you can.
I have re-booked it for the 18th of May and I have a day off

Good luck and just keep on practising. Be prepared for a long wait if successful !
I'm now into month 5 since being offered the job, from what I was told when calling recruitment they were training internals and getting the odd slot or two coming through. They couldn't give me even an idea of which month, so I'll have to keep waiting and probably take another job for now

Honestly, I cannot remember but certainly way more than you can manage. Just take your time and work carefully through what they present. Accuracy over quantity. I learnt the hard way!Hey guys. Does anyone know how many pages of scaat we will be tested on at AC1?

I number 16 on the list but as said above it just waiting game and have to redo my medical as been over 6 months since my last one lol.
Good luck for tomorrow Mabs, there's quite a bit of info on this thread. The test is pretty much the practice material, except traffic lights instead of water tanks, obviously a lot more questions.
Head down concentrate and keep going until they say stop !
As for drivers, I'd love to know! Got offered another job (which i don't really want) , if I take it TfL will come up with training dates and if I don't they won't for another few months !! Sods Law
I have my assessent on the 18th of May 2018. I wanted to know how different is the actual test compared to the practice material I was sent. I am comfortable with the material sent to me but what is the point if it's completely different to the assessment on the actual day.
Also I am wondering why does TFL need so many Train Operators? Do staff leave after a few years? what happened to the full time drivers from a few years ago?
You might surprise yourself!! You probably done better then you thought!!!!!I just completed the assessment and it wasn't easy. I didn't finish any of it so not sure if i will pass.
There was 24 other candidates and I was the only external candidate. All the others already work for the TFL as CSA.

There are 9 pages in total, you will have 3 pages for each sub test and the time allowed for each page with vary from page to page. You will stop between each sub test for the instructor to read the instructions for the next section, along with a chance to complete an example, which will then be solved in the class, you will then continue.
Would anyone be able to tell me if the SCAAT shapes are the exact same as the shapes in the online practise material they send you?
In the Assessment centre, The scaat test shapes are differnt. If you Google scaat test under images, you will see the shapes like V (^^/(/VV/) ₩ and so on.
There is 9 pages, Three for 1 shape, then Three for 2 shape and then Three for one shape plus first shape on the line.
Scaat test is easy, What I struggled on was the Understanding and following information. The sentence was long and it was about a mechanical problem and I didn't understand most of it and reading it again I wasted time. Problem is there just isn' much time. I think it was around 22 minutes to answer 40 questions. I answered around 19 or 20 and I'm not sure what will happen.
The taps are traffic lights in the assessment and I found them easy, I answered 35 out of 36 in 22 minutes.
I am waiting for my results but out of 25 people I was the only external candidate.
I number 16 on the list but as said above it just waiting game and have to redo my medical as been over 6 months since my last one lol. I lucky enough I in full time well paid job atm in the motor trade so I can afforded the wait.
Hows the training going? You must be fully qualified by now?First day of training today...went good...and excited .....Good Banter today from the trainer ....look forward to next week driving the train
Any news on when the new training dates are available
