Did you get a rejection email?I'm out.
I belive they give you a scenario and you have multiple choice answers, I think I did the same for tpe back end of last year
Last saturday
Me too, hopefully find out today if I will progress or not.
Where did you apply for i applied for Euston
Wolverampton
Think VSE is a nasty one where you have to watch a circle of dots light up one at a time in order and you have to click when it lights up different colour or misses a move goes backwards etc. Then I think there's a column of shapes you have to click when they aren't in order. Then they combine the two which is thoroughly nasty. Think M7SJT is just more scenario questions
That sound great!!! Yeah I must of done m7sjt with tpe
Just had the email saying I didn’t mean the standard Avanti were looking for (I did the test last Friday). Does that mean it’s a fail or just not standard required for Avanti? It says I can’t reapply for Avanti for 6 months, would this preclude me from applying to other TOCs?
I’m not bothered about the fail as I put a previous address down, I don’t live anywhere near Wolverhampton now. I just wanted to see what the application process entailed. Apologies if that breaks an unwritten code of conduct, I didn’t envisage it have hindering anyone in the grand scheme (clearly it hasn’t now as I didn’t meet standard anyway). Cheers guy/gals.
Good luck to all that progressed!!

Hi guys i have got to next stage and been asked to complete VSE online.
What is the deadline as there is not one in the email? I have emailed the conpany back asking

Yeah I got that email as well. I’ve done the OPC and plenty of SJT’s but never the VSE! It says practice first but then says “You will receive feedback on your results within 10 working days”
from the date of the test deadline” when is the deadline? haha!
You read my mind....just asked that also! If you could let me know what they say that would be great haha
No you can still apply to other TOCs don’t worry. Good luck next time though you will smash it
hasosmirza has emailed to find out about the deadline. But yeah I’ll have to find a mouse as well....don’t know the last time I used one haha
Yeah that’s the one!
I seem to remember when they combine the two you still have to prioritise one task over the over. Definitely not pleasant and you just need to stay calm and focused when you do lose track of things.
Weird one that because looking at the practice tests, all it will involve is clicking on different things. If anything I feel much more comfortable doing that with a laptop touchpad than a mouse. Maybe they assume you're less likely to click on a wrong answer accidentally with a full on mouse. Has anyone done these tests before that can clarify??
Thanks mate. I will go and buy one today I'm sure I can find some cheap ones in supermarkets.
