I didn't get one, no.

Thanks friend. Same here, didn't get one so no need to panic I suppose. Still haven't got a response though, maybe I'm not as good as I thought I was at situational judgement tests! :p:lol:

After having done so many SJTs, I thought and positiviley believe that I also did well, but like you guys, I am still waiting to hear back also. Having said that, they got over 4300 applications yet there are only 180 positions to be filled. There is still hope though...unless if they are waiting to send batch email to those who didn't make it..

I've just had an email inviting me to an assessment day. My choices are Monday 1st, Friday 4th or Saturday 5th. I think I'll choose the 4th to give me time to practice the shapes test. :)

Does anyone know how long one has to book their assessment day for this position. Am hoping for more favourable days to be added as my schedule is full and hard to juggle around. Or should i just book with the options am given and then call for a reschedule. Any good advice would be of great help.

Second stage is done on another day, they don't tell you if you pass on the same day. It is done by email usually 3-5 working days later.

I think the best advice will be to use the practice material that TFL send with the assessment day confirmation email. Of course to practice the SCAAT there's the tool on this forum.

I'm told that TFL don't follow the same recruitment tests as regular TOC's. So the tests while similar, may well be completely different.

First stage assessment centre complete, results within 10 days apparently. Content pretty much exactly the same as in the practice tests. Error ID possibly a little more complex but much the same idea.

Good luck to anyone else attending this week.

With the understanding & following information tests do you keep the passage of text while answering?

Yeah, they're exactly the same as the example material.

Forgot to say the bloke told us there were several thousand applicants for this. Less than a thousand at assessment centre for jobs in the 'low hundreds'.

So, the job advert says that the contract is for 15 hours per week, and these core hours will be on Friday and Saturday nights. Do you guys know if there will be possibilities to do overtime on other days?

And I've already answered your second question further above.

From what I've read no. This was a concern Unions had, with night tube staff being used like Zero hours people. Only way to do more hours will be to move to full time I think.

Had my AC1 yesterday and got the email today that I've passed and they 'want to see me' for AC2. Got dates of 9/10th March, anyone else got those dates? Got a start date with Crossrail for training so depending on when the start date for TFL is I may have to turn it down (never thought I would be saying that lol)

That's what I heard as well. And not being able to apply for full time until completed a years service.

Mresh91, I still haven't heard either. I phoned their recruitment on Friday and they said they haven't finished going through all the test yet.

London Underground Train Operators, regardless of whether they are part time or full time, do not do voluntary overtime.
