I believe SWR use the SCAAT. Good luck with the assessment.

i have done the assessment day and passed, I don't know what it's called but it's in the form of shapes and gets harder as you go along if that's the one you mean.

You should receive a pack of practice material along with your invite no fewer than 7 days before your assessment day, practice everything in the pack as the tests are almost the same format with the exception of the concentration test where the practice material is letters and the actual test is shapes!
Good luck

The verbal test is an audio message played to the group, you have to make notes on the message and pass on the key components of the message back to the test administrator. I believe it goes along the lines of ‘train 1 has come to a stop at puddle town station on platform 2, waffle waffle waffle, driver had placed track circuit clips on the track, assistance required’.

The concentration test is the letter/symbols test which gets progressively harder.

Hey
I've just passed my assement day for the same role and I'm waiting for my interview now with the managers. Can anyone give me a heads up on the questions they ask?
