Tdk,
Sorry but that is the worst advice ever, I was given that same advice by a driver, he said "they are looking for accuracy don't go to fast" I heard the guys behind me going for it and I thought wow I am slow but at least mine will be accurate, I got 10 out of 25 lines on each page and I was on the early train home because of it, I asked the assessment officer why and she said I was accurate enough just to slow.

Thanks for this, hopefully a lot of practice will help. Does anyone know the breakdown of the assessment day at DB Shenker?
When I do the scaat test it says I have omitted a number of shapes that it didn't request?? does anybody else have this problem?

Shall I take that as a no then?
Any response much appreciated.
hi,
On the group bourdon test sheets how much time is there between each change?
No time at all.
You search for 4 dot groups on sheet 1 until you hear the assessor call 'Change', and then you move to sheet 2 and continue....
It is surprising how quick the group bourden test goes. just work quickly and accurately. if you have any practice sheets or have the software tool, learning to recognise groups of 4 dots rather than counting them is a good tip!
All is good. i took all assessments and the mmi yesterday and passed the lot. happy days are here again.
Hi, I've been called for my test, do Northern use paper or computer method? I've downloaded the file at the beginning of the thread and practising. How many tests will there be?
Thanks
Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum, I have my assesment next week. This is my first attempt today for GBT and I only got 7 rows on each sheet with none omitted and none incorrect. i asked someone already in the field and he says its better to have less errors than speed. Any suggestions on my result will be very helpful, Thanks

I have my assessment with DB on the 24th of Feb any hints or tips out there. Also how will the GB test appear, have been doing some practice ones in books and the grids are more clearly defined so it seems a bit easier to do than the downloadable one attached to this thread.
Cheers
Best advice is to keep practicing, you will come to a point where u will get used to the shapes the four dots are in and it becomes a lot easier.
