    No one was suggesting that they had done anything wrong but when a company suddenly pops up offering exactly what a large number of people want (myself included) for a not insignificant amount of money then I'm certainly checking them out before parting with my hard earned money, hence why I...

    I believe so, learn to recognise the patterns of dots instead of counting, your results will soon improve the more you practice

    Not everyone who wants to be a driver is in it for the money, though I know of Job seekers being told to apply for railway jobs with no expectation ( or want ) of hearing back just so that they can show they're 'looking' for employment to claim there benefits :frown:personally I'd jump at the...

    All valid points but the main question is has anyone ever heard of them before? I haven't and I found it surprising that I've not heard of them mentioned on here before

    Good luck, sounds like your heading on the right track, the TRP is pretty easy so long as you can remember information well then answer the multi choice questions,the 2nd part of TRP 'the dials' test is a little more complex than the practice material, some dials will have the arrows in the same...

    Has anyone had any dealings with a website called Traindriving.co.uk or railway competence group ?

    I found the actual test a LOT easier than the practice material, the dots are bigger making them easier to pick out, I would keep practicing until you get to 10 lines average, the practice tool at the top of this thread is very good, first time I tried it my score was terrible, 7/8 lines average...

    I just failed this Saturday, basically there is 3 parts 1) you only mark the matching double symbols in a 'telephone directory' , ignore everything else 2) counting the low tones while ignoring the high tones 3) mark the double symbols again while counting ALL the tones - these are all the...

    Apparently got all the symbols but didn't get enough correct answers for the tones, Im sorry but I really don't think you can judge wether someone is suitable for a job on a 2 minute test, Im a gas engineer so constantly doing several things at once while repairing boilers etc, they say on the...

    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??
