Glad it went well yesterday. Getting a bit nervous about tomorrow....but thanks for the info.

So it was the 3 tests and the MMI....no Situation Judgement Test?

Standard safety and concentration related questions on the MMI?

Sorry yes the situational judgment test was just before the MMI and i also had to write down my answers for the MMI after all the first tests. All 3 tests are an hour in total then the MMI which is an hour interview and just questions like on the revision stuff, practically the same they just go in a lot of detail.

i Sat mine yesterday and it was all fine, i did the grey square which i was able to work out after 10 mins i was 15 seconds behind the guy next to me so i just kept counting in 12-15 after i heard him press it and i passed that fine even though i did accidentally press the button when the square wasn't there twice.

The picture one is very quick and i was unsure if i passed that one, but that was okay.

Then the 2 hand one, well this is horrible to be honest i thought i failed, you get the same shape 10 times and every time at least once or twice i went out the shape.

The MMI is an hour long interview about 6 questions so that can be quite mentally challenging.

All in all i passed the 3 tests and i am waiting for the MMI results.

Hopefully i hear back soon, and good luck on Wednesday!

If anyone reads your post , they might listen to the person next to them and follow their pressing. I would recommend people don't do this , what if they are doing it wrong.

Of course i understand that it was just able to work it out and i was able to focus on mine and where they are not noise cancelling headphones and everyone does the same set of bleeps after 10-15 mins you hear a rhythm around the room as there was only 3 of us that sat it on Monday.

It is just headphones but you could hear other people pressing there buttons that is what i mean by the bleeps. i am new to using forums so i probably say things the wrong way round lol

Hopefully it all goes good and we hear back soon! The lady said to me 7-10 days but it shouldn't take that long, So hopefully today if not i am more optimistic about hearing back by next week.

No details yet.... I got an email responding to my confirmation saying they’ll let us know during the week...although Easter weekend might delay that a bit.

Maybe East Ham or Shoeburyness as possible venues for it.

Dan any tips for the interview?


I failed that stage so probably best I don’t haha. You’ll have three or four people interviewing you and you’ll be put on the spot. A LOT. What makes it difficult is you’ll get lots of questions about the industry which are quite hard to answer in depth if you’re new.

I’m sure it’s all good. Maybe email again just to be sure.

My return email was at 00:19 on Easter Saturday morning so I have no idea if it was a person or a computer replying to me.

C2c are notoriously bad at replying to emails from what I’ve noticed. I got my confirmation email an hour after my interview :/
