That's true - I think they would have said no already if it was a no.

no news yet mate, they told us in the assesment expect atleast 7 - 14 days before we hear anything, especially as its bank holiday weekend.
so im hoping next week i hear something.
you started your revision yet, i noticed we got a few practice tests in the email which could relate to stage two.

Yeah they said 7 to 14 days to us too, but i did forget that it was a Bank Hol Weekend.
Ive been going through the pack again this week, and searching the internet and this forum for old posts about the assessment.
What did you find the hardest task in the 1st assessment?

I be honest I didn't like the multiple choice bit at the end, where they place you in a situation and you need to put the 4 statements into order as you would answer.
All of the others I thought were alright
How about yourself ???

The SJE felt like it lasted for ever, although I did notice a couple people in there didn't finish it.
I feel prepared for stage 2 on Wednesday in Watford (well as prepared as you can be). I find it strange that there is no one else, who's registered on this forum saying that they are going to stage 2. (Either that or their not posting).
You might get the email tomorrow Joe...........

I honestly don't think alot of guys from our assesments are on this site as I was talking to them at my assesment and they knew nothing of this site.
Your second stage is Wednesday what next week ??

Really tough day, thought I was going to get thrown out at the beginning but I survived to complete the MMI. It's a waiting game now.
Any news for you yet?

Yep, they told the 4 of us who where there that if we didn't pass the tests as the assessment ran then we would be given feedback and asked to leave...... (That put the pressure on!)
What tests where involved and what length of time was you there ??

The day started off with trp1 a memory test based on a fiticious substance called glop. TRP2 which was the dials and cables test. Three computer tests, WAFV, ATAVT and two hand coordination test. The lorol specific visual search exercise. The situational judgement exercise that linked into the MMI.
The day started at 9am and didn't finish until around 4ish.

It was mentally tough. There were four of us overall, and thankfully we were all there at the end of the day.
So does that mean you all passed and are through to the interview stage now then ??
Got the email got my stage 2 next thursday. Did you need to take lunch with you??

Waiting on the MMI outcome and VSE results. Well done on getting to stage 2. There was a chance to go and get food so it's up to you. There are quite a few breaks where they are marking the tests.
That's alright then as long as there is enough time to get drinks and food it should be alright
How do you feel you have done ??
Did they say how long til you hear anything ???
Seaza

I was convinced at every stage I was going to get booted out........ And that's still how I feel now. They said a 7 to 10 days for the outcome.
Well I got my fingers crossed for you hopefully you get through.
Did you have to do the test where they show an picture for like all of 2 seconds and then you had to click what you saw ???
Seaza
Member
Yeah that was one of the tests... Some of the examples for that one are on YouTube.
Yea I been looking online at the variety of tests that are probably going to come up and I have been amazed by the variety.
I saw a test where the screen is grey and you need to click one it gets darker.
The 2 hand coordination test
Dials test where you need to put them in order of correctness.
An amazing amount of tests
Did you also do a test where you have like a mock interview ??
Seaza
Member
Ohhhhhhh yes!! More of a full on interview!!

Was the interview a one on one situation with you and a manager ???
Seaza

No it's a competency based interview based on behaviours and experience. It's one to one with a examiner from the OPC.
There was a thread somewhere with some advice but I can't remember exactly where it was.

What kinda advice do you give for that ???
Feeling alittle nervous with this second stage, I was confident about the first assesment but finding this one alittle daunting.
Did you stay at a hotel the night before ??
Seaza

Yeah, i was bricking it at the second Assessment. I stayed at the Travelodge opposite, not the nicest place and the brecky was crap!
Advice for the MMI.....
1) Think about how your experiences relate to the drivers role.
2) Prepare to be interrupted and subjects to change quickly.
3) Expect the unexpected...

I'm normally ok when I'm put on the spot so should be ok with that.
May have to consider the hotel as I'm working the night before the assesment so will be in a rush on the day.
One good thing about this stage is if you make a mistake they let you know.
So next stage will be a formal interview right ???

Hotel is a good option!
