The VSE should certainly be completed before invited to attend OPC in person.

Do you think it's worth raising this with the arriva contact? Or just let them get on with the process?
My email doesn't mention a VSE

Then it appears someone has made a mistake... Chiltern recruitment features an online VSE test as part of the sifting / selection process. You shouldn't be being put forward for full OPC testing without having completed the VSE, unless you've already passed the VSE elsewhere.
I don't believe I've already done a VSE.

Ive had a email stating i have to complete vse test by the 3rd of may. Can anyone provide about what a vse test consists of?
Same, lucky considering I missed the deadline for the invite I had end of March.
It’s a fault finding test as far as I know. There’s some good threads that you can look up for more info.

I'm the same but with Chiltern.. it's all very higgerty piggerty.... waiting on an email for vse tests from opc..... had an email today from Chiltern...
You’re correct. Come to think of it, the last time I had this email, I never got a follow up one from the OPC. Is there anyone who has already completed their VSE on this application that can confirm they got the test from the OPC? What if it isn’t sent before deadline day?
*EDIT*
Just had OPC invite

Could you tell us how long the test took you? Is it broken into 3 stages or one continuous test?

Anyone got an idea what the pass mark is etc?
Anyone know what the pass mark or % etc to pass the VSE?

Does it really matter? Just do your best, you can't really aim to reach a certain score, it doesn't work like that. Only the OPC would know how they score the tests.
No one knows, it’s the sort of test you won’t know what you scored anyway, so the pass mark is irrelevant.
Just completed my VSE, first time doing it.
Without giving away what it involved, how did people feel they did? I made 3 mistakes on part 2, part 3 I made a few too but overall feel didn’t do TOO badly, it’s up in the air as to wether I’ve passed.

Guessing you downloaded the software first? That’s what threw me and did exactly what you did in going over it in my head on the practice multiple times. Did you pass or fail if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi guys, just did my VSE today. In Part 2 I made 9 mistakes, part 3 was the hardest, couple of errors on the track and a few on the shapes. Let’s see if I get through

I do wonder if just 1 error on the track is a fail as that’s what your priority is, I know I didn’t click for one as thought my laptop had glitched.

I got one of those which looked like a glitch. Pressed for it anyway.
