When I did my rules, I found that the biggest pressure I had was in the time allocated as opposed to the questions which came up.
I think virtually every person in my class knew the answers to the questions which came up, but the big challenge was cramming in all the details required of the questions in the time allowed. My writing hand felt like it was going to drop off by the time the day was up.
By the time your Rules exam rolls around, you probably would have covered every topic which comes up to death.

Yet everyone will share the psychometric tests. The irony.
This is a valid point. If your a trainee or existing driver you shouldn't need to ask for things like this and if your not in the industry you do not require this information
They are 2 completely different things!
You can either do the psychometric tests or you can't. There are not answers you can learn and you can only practice the tests. You are even given examples and ideas how to do so by the OPC.
However in an exam you can.
You are given questions and you must answer using your memory and knowledge. Having been given the questions before hand would then make the exam a doddle and a complete farce.
Or can not you see the difference?
Well although I would never post exam answers or give them to anyone, I would think different toc's would have different ways of examining trainee's. That said and I do agree with you, playing devil's advocate here. What advantage would you have getting the answer's from someone here when you get them in class through training or out of a rule book, not much difference really.

This website is brilliant. It’s run by railway personnel and they actually mark your answers. It s up to date and perfect practice material.
I dont get what the above issues are, you need to know the rules before you do the test!

Cheers mate
Your either in a position to do them or not. You should not have access to material pertaining to anything railway related (exams/tests) end of story.
And fyi anyone can pass the psychometric tests if you understand them and the attributes they're looking for.
Yes have to agree with sw1ller, this site is awesome. I know a few people in my group when i trained used this site and was better than classroom content. Would highly recommend for practicing rule modules. I actually done the rules refresher and best of all it feeds back, so if you get a question wrong it educates you as to why its wrong and sometimes talks to you to help you understand why.. Fair play to the creator who i understand is a trainer.. Great work.
Nobody is actually suggesting the answers to assessments are shared. I certainly don’t see an issue with somebody wanting an insight in to the sort of questions pertained in said assessment. Having said that, all the help anybody needs should be readily offered and attainable from the trainers should it not?

All the answers are in the rule book.
It doesn't matter (in fact is actually better) if people remember the questions as long as they end up with the right answer.
I can't see the issue - skill and knowledge fade is natural and instead of going cover to cover with the rule book and getting nowhere then brushing up and becoming familiar with the type of questions that always come in on rules is a good thing - such as degraded working and DOTE.
No one is infallible, and anyone who gets 100% of rules right every 2 years is either a trainee or a office based trainer.
Rules are meant to be a period where your knowledge is tested and bits forgotten is rebriefed.

Not really sure what the OP is after, if you are undertaking a rulebook exam, you should be employed by a railway related organisation and thus should be properly trained to where you are ready to take the exam or if you are having your knowledge tested (normally every two years) in which case the individual should know what's expected of them and revise accordingly.
