Have you heard anything yet Andy?

 

[Andy79]

Nope.

 

[Daydr3am3r]

Well if it was anything like the most recent assessment centre then I’m sure you will hear something soon.

 

[Andy79]

Does anybody know what the assessments pass rates are for stage 2?? Thanks

Anyone else out there that attended Swindon today?

 

[Willum]

Yes. Sadly failed the mmi

 

[Willum]

How did the rest of you get on?

 

[Daydr3am3r]

Oh no Willum I’m sorry to hear that.

Found out this afternoon that I passed the MMI.

Did they provide any feedback on particular questions?

No feedback, so I don’t really know what to do to improve right now. Gutted.

 

[Willum]

Sorry. Congratulations by the way.

You have to call opc. They have a waiting list but they will eventually get back to you. They are quite vauge as they only tell you what question it is you failed on.

Thanks very much Twotwo.

Thanks very much Twotwo.

It might even make you feel better knowing it was just one question you failed on and not a few. Tbh I knew what question I failed on so all they did was just confirm it for me. But they don’t tell you why or add anything else. I know how you feel as I am in the same boat as you.

Crap feeling isn’t it. When did you have yours?
Do you have the contact details for opc by the way?

Hi mines on the 25th March, what type of questions do they ask on mmi and how long is the day roughly, booking train tickets so tryna see what best time to book thanks

We were told 10am until 3pm. All 6 of us passed the computer tests and finished that part by 12:40. We were then given interview times, 2 at a time as they had 2 interviewers, of 12:45-13:45-14:45. I was in the middle, the next candidate went in at 3 and the last was still waiting. There are examples of the questions on these threads.

 

[Daydr3am3r]

I would encourage everyone not to look too far ahead. Concentrate on the computer tests, as if you do not pass these then you will not progress to the MMI.

You will have time to study the questions and come up with answers, and each candidate will have slightly different sub questions dependant on their SJE answers!

Are the computer tests not on the same day as the MMI for GWR?

I’d recommend preparing for the MMI anyway, but not worrying too much about it. The computer tests are really tests you can revise for, so discounting the MMI because if you don’t pass the computer assesments probably won’t be of benefit. It’s good to have an awareness of what to expect from the computer assessments of course, but the MMI is probably the big one which requires most prep.

 

[Daydr3am3r]

Same day but if you fail the computer assessments you don’t take the MMI. I agree about preparing but my point was that the questions could change and sub questions will be personal to you.

Received an invite to DMI this morning for dates in early April.
Still moving very quickly for me which is good!

I failed the mmi, so certainly think that’s the part that needs most preparation. I didn’t think I did too badly on the day, but I could have prepared better it would seem. Some people breeze through interviews, but it’s the part I struggle most with personally. The tests it’s good to be aware of what you have to do, but you can’t prepare all that much for.

 

[Daydr3am3r]

Congratulations.

Thanks mate.
