    How many driver manager interviews have you sat ?

    Managers interviews aren't part of your passable assessments. If you had failed the MMI twice then yes that's a different story...

    Andy999 and raoa4x ... The MMI comprises of 6 questions asking you to give examples of ( can't remember them all ) - When have you had to persevere to learn something? When have you done something where it was imperative you didn't make a mistake? When have you been in an emergency...

    Hello, Thankyou, much appreciated. Okay, so... the day starts with the most obvious test to weed people out from the start, the GBT. Apparently i did well on this and i only did around 7 lines per block but i did them with pure accuracy. All the other tests, in my mind at least, were...
