If you answered them the same as last time but didn’t progress then perhaps they have increased their pass standard on the test?? Cant see how else you would pass once and fail this time otherwise.

Does anyone have an email address for TPE recruiting team?? I want to ask a question.
Completed the error checking test yesterday, think I just submitted the 25th question then time ran out. Guessing they look for a good balance of quality and quantity. Just a waiting game now, my first time applying for a toc so I’m not too sure what time scales they work to.

Timescales are whatever they like. Don't expect anything soon

I applied for this too. Got to around 28 on the error checking, timed out as I was clicking submit on another. Not holding my breath but I'm confident I got all the ones I submitted correct.

How difficult is the error checking tests? Is it similar to any of the standard tests that form the main opc assesments?

Depends on what your definition of difficult is, in reality most people would say they are easy, its because your up against the clock that it sorts the wheat from the chaff
Sift will be done on percentile. So the results effectively league tabled. You may have got the same score as last time but depends on how everyone else did.

Sorry to hear that. Had you done the error checking test too?
Yeah did it all. Email says my application didn't make it in to the top scoring bracket.

I haven’t heard anything yet either . Done both SJT and error check . Hoping no news is good news
Sorry to hear that ! Onwards and upwards . Which depot did you apply for

Sorry to hear
It was York. I think my CV is strong and very confident I did well on the error checking but seem to let myself down with the SJT I reckon.
Not too downhearted, just know I need to work harder and practice it for next time.
Good luck to everyone else still waiting, I hope it's positive news for you all.

I didn't attach a CV to my application. I didn't see anywhere to do it? Just answered questions about my education and work. Did the SJT and error checking but heard nothing yet. I applied for Manchester though.
Hope I've not shot myself in the foot with that oversight, I had just come back from the dentist and I wasn't my best self.

I didn’t attach a cv either . Don’t think there was a area for it ? Maybe I’m wrong too . Sat Both tests and also applied for Manchester
I didn't have to attach the CV to my application, it's just on my profile where I applied through, they might not even look at it tbh.

It took 40 days between competing the SJT online to being invited to the 1st stage assessment centre when I completed them last year.
