MTR Crossrail - Now recruiting for Trainee & Qualified Drivers

[D1939]

Do you do the mmi on the second assessment day? Or is it on a separate day? I'm slightly confused as I thought the second day was just the computer test and then you have another day of mmi and dmi?

 

[Trainguy590]

It's all on the 2nd day, but you sit the computer tests first. You will only do the MMI if you pass the tests, if not you will be sent home.

Hi flyerr88, how did you find it? Got mine tomorrow!

Hi guys,
I have my assessment 10th July and nerves are kicking in. How did you find it? Was it easier or harder than the practice papers you've done? I'm OK with the group bourdon test I mainly focus on the accuracy thinking it's more important (not that I'm too slow) just hoping for the best!

Hi Mozi,
I sent you a personal message yesterday not sure if you received it.
Would you mind assisting me with Day 2?
I may have some advice from a friend that completed DM interview.

Get back to me via personal message.

Thanks.

Hi mate, hope your well, I've sent you a message.

hi easy guy I didn't get your message yet reply back to me mate when you get this cheers

Hi I know it's only been a day since I had my DM interview but has anyone heard a reply if you sat it on 07/07/2015
The waiting game is so tense keep checking my emails frequently hoping to get some good news.

Hi flyerr88, how did you find it? Got mine tomorrow!

I studied quite hard so was well prepared for most of the tests. They were still difficult and was surprised that i passed the TRP memory test, thought i would bomb that one for sure. It's more the waiting around while the assessors mark the tests that's the killer!
there were 20 of us at the start, and only 5 passed. I didn't finish all my tests but I was very accurate and didn't make many mistakes, which is very important. If you try to rush, mistakes will happen and those go against you more than not finishing but being accurate.Let me know how you get on and good luck!

Sorry to hear that mate, just out of interest do you know how may lines you completed on each set?

 

[Doodle1980]

roughly about 8 id say, although i wasn't counting the lines only the dots !!!!!
however many it was, she said it wasn't enough.

Mate u can print off exact copies of the group bourdon and practice loads. You also get used to the shapes.

Already been looking online for them, gonna print them off and practice the hell out of them until I can go back to try again, honestly I am so gutted as using the Toc's practice material, I was scoring well, I know my nerves didn't help me, since I couldn't even pick upy bottle of water yesterday morning !!!

 

[387star]

In the VSE online test identical to the test LOROL use at their assessment centre?

Also the online SJE test is this the same one LOROL use at their assessment centre?

What does the otdpq questionnaire involve (outstanding train driver personality questionnaire)

Hi,
Work your way through this whole thread, I'm pretty sure everything you need is covered. It's certainly helped me.

 

[bazstead]

I missed the closing date this time round , do you know if and when crossrail will be advertising for new trainee drivers. Also I wear glasses is this acceptable for me to apply ? Many thanks

 

[Nuttytoffee]

Glasses are fine so long as you pass the required standard with them on.

 

[NisitPatel]

Hey guys, hope you're all keeping well. Got a quick question, I passed my day 2 assessment about 2 weeks ago and I've not heard anything yet from MTR in regards to the line manager interview, how long did it take MTR to contact you after your day 2 assessment with an interview date? I'm tempted to contact them but think it might be too soon to do so. Thanks in advance for any help
