New email address. Some different answers geared more towards safety. Still didn’t pass.

The sjt is probably subjective anyway. I passed quite a few . Two with the toc I drive for , passed two with the toc I did my psychometrics with. I passed with a few other companies that offered me interviews , yet failed one with another toc . Don't worry yourself too much , just keep trying.

Thank god! I was so confused because I thought I did pretty well on the assessment! The only one I struggled with was should I help the old lady find her seat and risk being late?

Thank you for your application for the position of Trainee Driver

We’re sorry to say that there has been a slight glitch in the system and your application has bypassed one of the online tests.

The system is back up and running and has been thoroughly tested, so you will shortly receive a prompt to complete the additional steps.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

Good luck!

I received this email even though I have completed the SJT and error checking tests earlier today. It also appears on my LNER account as completed. So I’m very confused!

This actually doesn't surprise me, the fail rate here did seem suspiciously high... Still, how did some people manage to pass?

I’ve just received an email inviting me to the next stage, another online test? Anyone else had this? Already done 2 online tests? X

Just tried to do it, it’s just saying both completed, there’s no more online tests to complete. I’m a little confused ‍♀️

Done the 2 tests there. First one was easy and I think I did good but the 2nd one was in my opinion hard. I won’t be surprised or have any complaints if I fail there, never mind get in the highest scoring bracket. Good luck to everyone.

Yeah likewise with the email and then when i log in it shows that both tests have been completed. Strange, I’ve emailed them anyway.

Same as you - done the two tests online and have the same email as you. I've checked and double checked yet I'm lead to believe there is only the two tests?

Slightly confusing tonight.

What was the 2nd one?

I had a series of 12 small paragraphs about different topics with 4 statements below and you had to pick whether the statements were basically either TRUE / FALSE / DONT KNOW based on what the text in the paragraph was.

The pass/fail rate seems fair, they have a lot of applicants to weed out. I passed the SJT and the assessment after. From what I gather there is supposed to be at least 3 assessments and I've managed to skip one in the middle

Ahh right. Same two tests as you then the last test was missing. Hence why some of us are getting those emails tonight. Now it makes sense.
