    Yeovil commercial guard roster

    Applied for the above role in early November and just received an email saying my online tests were successful and they will inform me in due course regarding the assessment centre day. I assume the assessment day will comprise of similar tests for a GWR conductor. I managed to get through to...

    GWR Conductor vacancy Exeter

    So that’s assessment 1 completed. Whilst doing it it felt like a car crash if I’m honest! I wasn’t too worried about completing the SCAAT test but wasn’t able to complete the ticket checking test and the rules and aptitude test. I got about 3/4 of the way through on both. Was very well laid...

    Does help a lot so thanks paul. If lucky enough to get into a talent pool I’d be happy with that. I’m currently working so no rush with regards to work. Are you a conductor yourself or work with GWR?

    Ideal the practice material seems to be straight forward enough anyway :). How many other candidates were on your first assessment? When I chose the date for mine there were two other sessions one in the afternoon on the day I attend and another the following day.

    How did you find the assessments compared to the practice material given? I’ve also just noticed that on the email they sent it states a verbal test any idea what’s involved with that? Best of luck with assessment 2. How long did it take to get your results back after completion of assessment 1?

    I guess its hard to know really what they are looking for regarding that side if you have a couple of different people with different personalities. Fingers crossed i get through assessment 1 first anyway! Have spent more time reading up on the company and the more i delve into it the more i...

    GWR Conductor vacancy Exeter

    so would you need to re-apply each time a suitable role becomes available? or would you be considered for any future posting for another shot at assessment 2? How did you find the second assessment 2 first time round?

    So completed the assessment this evening, took 55 minutes to complete, as LMC mentioned some of the maths involved was seriously tricky. i felt i done ok on it but only time will tell. With that does anyone know how long it takes for results to come back after completion?

    i think i'll spend a bit of time brushing up on my percentages, mean mode median etc before leaping into it. It states 48hrs to complete assume thats from when they emailed me the link to the assessment.

    First post here! Applied for the aforementioned role on Saturday and completed the initial online assessment Saturday evening. Communication thus far from GWR (albeit automated) has been very good. Is anyone able to confirm how the assessment is scored? i assume an automated points system...
