Gave them a phone, they said we shouldn't have it sit it.

Another question is motorcycles included as motor vehicles in the computer tests?

No they are separate and come under another option.

Is it the cyclist section?

Honestly everything is all explained on the day. You will see the options for yourself. Your going to stress yourself out with all these unnecessary questions.

Nevergiveup · 12 Feb 2020

Nope it was just the ones they mentioned in the email except there was no written communication test

Did anyone sitting tests last weekend sit the DFFT test? Would really appreciate to know if l need to look at this one?

Motorcycles come under “cyclists, moped, motorcycles”

Sorry, l have terrible attention to detail.

@PickleTree The DFFT is an enhanced only test, so not all TOCs/FOCs do this (SWR don’t do this). The MMI counts towards your lives as it’s part of the psychometric assessments but the DMI doesn’t as it isn’t an assessment.

Perfect thanks @Stigy - that is what I thought. Glad I have completed and passed all my tests and the MMI with a FOC, just hoping I might get invited to a DMI with SWR once they get people to this stage as the FOC are renowned for being very slow!

GB getting average 11/12 lines with 4 total missed , will that be good enough? o_O

Nevergiveup · 13 Feb 2020

Try slow down a bit and not miss any. Rather have 8 lines with no mistakes than 11/12 with mistakes

Fair enough, so is it true that TEA part one the low tone is the tone played first and for part 2 do you just circle the double symbols?

Yeah that’s true.

DriverGB · 13 Feb 2020

Does anyone have any information they would like to share on the DMI as I have one coming up for SWR? and also the MMI

Take a look at this thread, there’s plenty of good information and advice in there:

Is it true that MMI also has 2 strike rule just like the psychometric tests? And if you pass MMI with one TOC then are you not required to do it again with another TOC?

The MMI is part of the 2 strike rule yes. I am not sure how it works between different TOC's but I assume that if you have done it and passed that they wouldn't ask you to do it again. I could be wrong though.

Nevergiveup · 14 Feb 2020

Ah I see so that’s another I’m gonna have to worry about lol

Unlucky @UPS1550 that will be difficult to take now but at least you know where it went wrong in preparation for next time. We’re there many others there today?

Were you all there for the Bournemouth vacancy?

UPS1550 · 15 Feb 2020

I really don't know wether to apply again or not, just seems so remote a chance getting through every test & the MMI with no lives left??

GemGem · 15 Feb 2020

Take some time to think about it before you decide either way. I know it will be a tough decision.

Passed. Was a long day. I’m over the moon I really am. I’m not sure how many passed. Was 2 of us from our computer section. They did the computer tests in 2 sittings. My advice would be don’t give up. Reapply.

Was it just tests today or did you do MMI too?
