You can't really prepare. I have a Degree in English but failed - they didn't say which test I failed on. With the STVT I only managed to read through about 5 passages and answered I think it was 5 questions per passage. It was no way 30 mins as I was watching the time on my computer and it just stopped after my last answer on that particular passage (Unless it is only 5 passages to read through). (Do you remember how many you had to do as you obviously passed that part)? Pretty sure all my answers to that point were all correct.
The other test just concentrate, no language skills required just need to be quick. (I'm sure you'll be Ok) I guess there is no way to practice it. As I mentioned I read in a few posts that best to concentrate on the dispatch part of the test. I did that to make sure that part was right - I only managed to answer a few questions alongside that test. I guess its a 50/50 chance of what to concentrate more on and exactly what they are looking for. Can't really advice further as I failed it. But Good Luck with yours and fingers crossed you will smash it.
I was surprised that the email came the same day to say I failed? Anyone here know if this is the norm?
Hi
Thanks for the information, I will bear all that in mind. I did a STVT test just over a month ago before recently being told I need to do a TDMT for my final assessment.
thanks for the information, the position I have applied for is based in Worcester, what about you?
Thanks, I have read up on the OPC website about the test but there was not much information, much appreciated for this information.
How did you get on with the test?
