Trust me you were just lucky there are variations on the questions
I disagree, it is a set 6 questions. They may ask it differently but it's pretty much the same 6 questions and no I wasn't lucky, i worked hard and prepared for it
. And like the others have said knowing the questions doesn't really give you much of an advantage, the answers still have to be good enough and and they can see through any bull.Totally agreeI disagree, it is a set 6 questions.

Yes I had the same notification a few weeks ago. Unfortunately you are no longer in contention.
Thanks mate. I wonder how they decide? i live close by and have already passed psychometric tests. The process is a mystery.

When you say you had a notification ON db website of end of process, do you just mean you logged on to the portal and the status had changed or did they send an email to show it had changed?
Just logged in to the portal.

Hi Mate mine said end of process on the portal after my dmi and i also thought my application had ended..... but! a week or so later i had a teams meeting and was told i had successfully entered the pool.
Not sure what stage you're at but if you have taken your dmi all is not lost.
Hi mate, that’s good news, you must be happy. I did psychometric tests with another Foc but nothing materialised. I just applied to DB. Today I got end of process on the portal.

Did your status change back to In Process then, or stay End Of Process? Or disappear altogether?

just disappeared after a couple weeks but it showed end of process for at least a week.
Can I ask where I can find a example of these 6 questions please ?I disagree, it is a set 6 questions. They may ask it differently but it's pretty much the same 6 questions and no I wasn't lucky, i worked hard and prepared for it

Type into the search box at the top right hand side of the page ‘DMI‘ or ‘MMI’ then select ‘this forum’ on drop down list. You will find all the info you need with a little time spent reading and making notes
Thanks for the link, I’ve done another application even though I went for the original one!
Thank you .. I have everything needed now.
Minor and finer details now if anyone can help.
When doing the Hand eye coordination the directional joysticks!!!! Can anyone confirm if “up and down” controls for moving the ball are on the the left or right???? I have been practicing with the “up and down” ball control movement on the left and “left and right” ball control movement on the right

Hello all! 
I am new here! Literally been reading through this thread as I have an assessment day coming up in Doncaster on the 17th June for the Warrington talent pool! Very excited and nervous about the day though! Any pointers or advice for the day would be greatly appreciated! Currently working through the booklet they have sent me! It's taken a while to get here as I applied for this post in May 2021! I know they were recently advertising for Warrington again too. I'm hoping I don't crumble on the day! Haha!

Congratulations on the invite to assessment. There is a search function at the top of the page, using this to search MMI and the individual tests (as named in your test pack) you will find stacks of information. Some people have researched loads before the tests and some have just stuck to the booklet and been fine, so I wouldnt worry too much. I personally spent a long time searching and making notes. The one to practice is the dots test (Group Bourdon), see separate thread further up the page. Only thing to note, some TOC’s/FOC’s do separate days for the paper tests and computer tests, DB Cargo do the lot in a day, can be quite intense and means you cant just prepare for first half first etc.Hello all!

Thank you so much for the response! I appreciate that! I shall look into your suggestions. From the booklet I can see that it’s pretty intense! I’m kinda ready for it mentally! My current job is a Midwife and a 12 hour shift is intense all day long! Fingers cross is works out!

As long as you at least make your way through the booklet a good few times so you know what to expect when you get there then you won’t go too far wrong. Id say the dots practice and researching the MMI would be worth the majority of your time. As a midwife you will have plenty of work experience to cover the likely MMI questions.

Thank you! That’s my plan for the weekend! Practice the dots and think of answers to some questions! I do have quite a lot of experience to use that’s for sure! A lot to do with safety and having a high responsibility role! Can’t really lapse in your judgement as situations in healthcare are always changing. There’s no greater pressure or time limiting situation like resuscitating a baby!

Wow…that is such a scary thought. You don’t really like to think that has to happen, what an awfully pressurised position to hold in so many ways. I’m not sure what else to say, my mind is blown thinking about having to do that. I worked as a lifeguard when I was just out of college many years ago and obviously did first aid and lifeguard quals where in part we trained using the resuscitation dolls including a baby one, and doing the light two-finger chest compressions and weaker blows of air into the mouth. I never really envisioned having to do it, but for yourself in a birth situation as a midwife it somehow seems so much more critical. And the fact that you have had to do it, perhaps many times… I tip my hat, chapeau..
