    Unable To Make Interview

    If you can’t get the time off for the interview, then you can’t get the time off and that’s it, you don’t have any choice other than to say you can’t do that date and request another.

    The only advice I could offer is not to guess and only say what you see 100% as it sounds like this test is heavily marked down for wrong answers (rather than missed answers) There is also software you can buy where you can practise the same test (just with different but similar traffic scenes)...

    I’ve got this exact test, that’s what made me ask the question as you can set a custom display time. Will start it at a second and lower it down once I get the hang of it! Cheers

    I’m in a similar boat for Crewe, waiting for my paper tests. I’ve been waiting since December. After contacting them they say there are no dates planned for any testing at Crewe.
