I've sat the assesments for a toc that accepts standard and i applied for GTR recently and I was informed that my assesments met their standards (I've been told GTR is enhanced) but I'll have to sit the DFFT as I haven't sat it. So, the way it works is they will check you results and see if it's up to their enhanced level.

I have just been sent a reminder to do my VSE...

Trying to find time to do it with kids at home is near impossible!

Agree - it is a really good test of focus and concentration! I wonder what the pass mark is/how many errors are allowed...

Just completed it.
First one was ok (ish).
Second one was TESTING.
Third one......

I'll update you.

That exactly what I thought too stage 3 was really intense on the VSE.
How do you think you did?

I found that 3rd one surprising!

Yeah - hahahahahahahahaha.
I really want too know also, it was no walk in the park!!!

it was tough!
I think it would be easier to fight The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior and Big Daddy, at the same time, with one arm tied behind your back.

Wow... just... wow! Think I'll be lucky if I get through to the next stage!
Best of luck.
We all did our best with what we had.

.
So true.

Yea, you're right. Task 3 was the most difficult. There should've been a practice screen for that one . Now I've got everything crossed!! Hope I pass this one.
Agreed.
There should have been a practice screen, because that 3rd test is alot.

Its designed to make you multi task, whilst prioritising a primary task. The whole point is to fluster you. Remain calm, recover if it goes a bit wrong and most of all focus on that primary task don't get too distracted by the secondary task.

Hey! It was the assessment I found most difficult!

I wonder when we will here if we passed or not!

I have a feeling they maybe pick the top number of people within a certain criteria, Hence why we get the results after the deadline it seems and not individually, Could be very wrong but im guessing from tomorrow onwards , as Today at 5pm was the deadline if im not mistaken

Best of luck and hope to hear you and everybody else who has passed in the near future.

Well done! I've not heard anything yet. How had you felt you did with the VSE before getting the results? Many errors?

Thanks guys! I completed the test on Saturday. I believe I had about 6/7 errors on the last 2 stages each, not 100% sure of course.

That's encouraging! I've no idea what would be considered good enough to pass!
