Of the above tests sent for this position what does each of them entail?
Did you get to the test stage?

No was after filling in name address and NI number got an email fairly quick for fair play on that. Seem a lot quicker in replying than other TOCs / FOCs

Has anyone heard anything after they done the 4 online Freightlinner tests?

does anyone know if you have to complete the 4 tests in one go or can you do one then go back to them later?

Just done the tests myself, the instructions page at the very beginning when you log in states that you must complete them in one go.
Just go ahead and complete the test like everyone else and come what may, it’s unfair and lazy to expect people in the same process as you to provide you with a competitive edge over themselves when they have already taken the plunge to complete all assessments.

Not yet, completed the tests online last week

You’re right, my mistake!
I have applied for Crewe and hoping to hear back soon. This is the first role that I have applied for so I’m not entirely sure what the rest of the application process consists of and which tests we complete/when. Could anyone please explain what happens from here (what tests are completed? Are they generally online or in person somewhere? How long does the testing process generally take? And where does the interview and medical fit into things?)
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.
I’ve had the email today inviting me to sit the online parts. Does anyone have a definitive answer on if these online tests by the OPC overwrite any previous scores or can affect any current application? I’ve seen a few people asking similar but no real final answer.
I have enhanced passes with another TOC and I’m just awaiting a start date. I don’t want to wait forever for something that might not happen though and as others have said before apply for as many vacancies as you can. On the flip side I’ve come quite a long way with my current application and don’t want to risk screwing that up.
Will fire a couple of emails off tomorrow but just wanted to gauge people’s opinions.
Cheers.

The tests which overwrite are from OPC are the online tests of Visual Search Exercise and M7 Situational Judgement Test onwards. If you retake these and pass then your assessment day test passes may be enhanced enough for FL and not have to resit these and straight to DMI.
Also regardless of your previous pass mark for the online tests-
Visual Search Exercise and M7 Situational Judgement Test, you have to retake these every time
Do the vse exercise and sjt online tests for Freightliner count towards one of your 2 attempts at passing the phscometric tests to becomea train driver?
Only for this Foc/Toc's which require these for their enhanced mark. This was something I queried withOPC before I withdrew my application with avanti as I had already passed everything thing with freightliner earlier this year

I wonder when we’ll hear back the results after doing the online tests but also when will the assessments, interviews then medicals be taking place?

Has everybody received the online tests?? The last I heard was confirmation they received my national insurance number etc, I’ve not had the 4 tests.

Yep I received my email for the online test a few days ago. Applied last week.

I've not heard anything, I got the email for the survey asking for extra details, then another email saying thanks for filling in the details they will get back ASAP etc, then that was it. Can only assume I'm out of their catchment, as others are getting second tests.

Are the extra tests compatible with a mobile phone or do you need to complete them using a laptop or PC?

States on the email should be done on a laptop. However not sure if this is because they believe it will be easier reading etc or because it is not compatible
To quote the email I received :
It is very important that you complete these tests on a PC or Laptop with a mouse. You must not try to complete the tests on a phone or tablet, doing so may negatively impact your performance

You will be able to do it on a laptop without a mouse, it is only a box ticking exercise
