Freightliner - Trainee Drivers (05/12/22)

[Suraggu]

Received an email from OPC earlh this morning to complete PQ/SJT/TB-DT/KQ.

All completed and now we wait.

The 2 fails only apply to freighliner application, the two fails begin once you reach OPC testing stage at the centre.

Applies to all that use these. Avanti use these also

Stage 3 of the Visual Search Exercise was very demanding. I did excellent at stage 1 and 2 but on 3 I felt I couldn't get both exercises done in the one go. Is this normal and is it expected to get everything correct? You have 2 tasks to complete within 4 seconds

I was the same, feel I might have failed on part 3

Stage 3 you get 4 seconds to complete "2 boxes" which is stage 1 and 2 combined. Box 1 which is the same as stage 1 is to take importance over the second box. it definitely takes 100% concentration and the chances of being fully accurate is near impossible I reckon

Has anyone applied for the Scottish depots of Mossend or Millerhill?

where and when will freightliner hold their train driver assessment tests?

 

[J3053B]

Just finished the vSE and M7SJT.

Give yourself a couple of hours - phase 3 of vSE was tricky but not impossible. Hopefully did ok!

Good luck to others

I sat and passed the PQ/SJT/TB-DT/KQ, along with VSE and M7SJT the other month with another toc. Would Freightliner require me to resit these assessments? And how long do Freightliner accept previous paper and computer based assessments for?

from the email:

'These tests are part of Freightliners enhanced driver recruitment process so you will need to sit these again - regardless of whether you have completed them before.

In addition, these tests will be part of your ‘2 attempts’ for those organisations, such as Freightliner, that use these tests within their recruitment process'

Thanks, still waiting to receive email with link to the tests.

I’ve got to sit these tests, how similar are they to the practice and what exactly did they entail?

Many Thanks

You'll get to do practice tests before each, not too inclined to go round giving tips apologies. But take your time and read what they are asking

That’s fair. Appreciate the reply

Has anyone still not heard back? I submitted my application and did the initial online test on 30/11 and got the following email:

'Thank you for completing this test, your results have been saved and submitted to Freightliner.

You will receive your feedback / results within 20 working days.'

Still not heard anything back. Can't work out whether that's a positive or negative as a lot seemed to have got the link for the next assessments. I applied for Crewe, whether that makes any difference

Who was that email from? I don’t seem to remember getting anything like that

It was from OPC admin

Just completed the M7SJT and the VSE tests. The VSE one is awkward completing it with a mouse, actually think I done better in the third exercise than the second one. Not confident at all after that.

You've probably done better than you think. Fingers crossed for you, I did great on 1/2. Then just don’t know with 3. I know I’ll be over analysing it until I get the results!

Hope you done well too, would have been a lot easier if it was touch instead of having to move the mouse and click. I think I had more time than what I was giving myself. Haha same here.

Just got the email for the two extra online tests and decided to download the practice materials, the visual tests, just to ask, the three parts is it to finish each part within the times because it doesn't seem possible or just to complete as many as you can within that time, bit like the Barbon test? Thanks for responses

I’m literally thinking by the same thing. Like part three of the test, it says you should spend no more than 4 seconds looking at the rectangles and the letters. It doesn’t seem possible, however the priority is the rectangles. So does that mean don’t get to bogged down in the letters?

 

[Babysaint09]

Yeah because it say go left to right, boxes first and then letters so you can't skip some of the letter boxes! Completely confused

 

[default]

Im abit confused and hope someone could shed some light on this. I received an invitation to complete VSE and M7 SJT. It's mentioned that we have only 2 attempts.

Does anyone know if these 2 attempts count as part of your 2 lives overall? Or is it for this application form process only?

Much appreciated

Thanks

It counts as a life for any FOC/TOC that use these tests. I believe Avanti use these tests too.

From what I understand (I’ll be doing mine today) your priority is the first task when doing both but do try get some on task 2. It’s 4 seconds per box so 196 seconds in total which is 3 mins 20. Time yourself 3 mins 20 and see how much you can do.

I’ll be giving this a go later. I’m probably over analysing this as usual. Could the emphasis be on obeying the instructions. “THE PRIORITY IS TASK 1” right?

 

[david0207]

Hi, completed this morning and I'm quietly confident, it wasn't so bad. How long can I expect to wait for the results of the initial tests?

 

[WombleGuard]

Is freight work from Acton mostly nights?

How did you get on??

Hi all. Bit confused, I thought all these tests (PQ/SJT/TB-DT/KQ/VSE) were done at a test centre. Also thought VSE didn’t count towards one of your lives.
