Does anyone know how many rows one needs to aim for in the SCAAT test in order to pass?

Like the GBT noone seems to know the pass mark, its a secret! I think it varies depending on what the standard is so they can narrow it down further.

To give you a hint, I 'passed with flying colours' and didn't get even near halfway down each page!
I also passed (no idea if it was with flying colours!), and was getting around a quarter to a third of the way down the page, on each page.

I am getting,
1 page for test 1 sub test 1,2.3
halve a page for test 2 sub test1,2,3
quarter of a page for test3 sub test 1,2,3

with around 10 omissions across the whole test, is this good or bad?

Somewhere between WY372 and MV7

That will be fine by the sounds of things - seems like about what I got in the end. Obviously it depends on how big the grids you do are!

Indeed it does, I have been using the Group Bourdon programme, printing them off to practice with A4 size pages.
It is a shame you can not vary the grid size.
One question though, on the day are the grid sizes varied throughout the tests?

The question is - to complete as much as you can accurately and consistantly be that 10 lines 20 lines or whatever - listen to the task and do what is asked

Does anybody know how much time you are given to complete each sub-section on the SCAAT test?

It's two minutes isn't it?? I'm fairly certain of that, I've passed it.

Is the SCAAT test the sme for driver conductor/roles? I'm thinking specifically of the one with shapes.

Am I right in thinking then that each section is divided into three sub-sections?

The Dot test is 2 min per sheet, the SCAAT test is 1 min per sheet, or so I have been told by many who have had the tests.
