I applied for Leeds and I'm still waiting.
There doesn't appear to be any practice checking tests. There's verbal reasoning and a whole swathe of other practice tests... But no practice checking test. So I'm not sure what to expect or how to prepare for this. What is the checking test...???

Ive heard and I applied for Leeds.
The practise checking test is when you click the link in the email its there
The 'practise link took me to SHL website's where it tells you about the types of test but does not show the checking test practice test. Do I have to click on the click here button? As this appears to take you straight to the assessment.

Did you manage to work out how to login to shl

Yeah turns out I was already registered on the website but didn't realise. Still can't figure out why I was registered in the first place.

LOL, it varied everytime I did it. Do it enough times and you start to remember where they are though (as they don't get shuffled). So doing it too much becomes self defeating.
I think my best was zero errors and 4 skipped.
My worst was about 6 errors, and similar skipped..
Problem with a test like this.. is depending on how it's approached a certain amount of luck can make quite a significant difference.

Sooooo when I completed the checking test, I instantly got another email from CEB asking me to take the checking test (the same one i had received before). But this time my name had been spelt wrong. So effectively it's asking me to take the same test again. I'm slightly confused as to what's happened lol. I've emailed the recruitment team to see what I need to do. Hopefully this won't impact my results/the system recognise's my first test results
They were maybe giving you a free attempt. Lol

Looks like overtime/pizza for them tonight if they are to get responses to all applicants by 1st November.

Well its either -
A) You've passed the checking test and been progressed further.
B) It's an error of some sort as no one else has heard about a interview.

I haven't heard a thing since applying, I applied on the 3rd October and Newcastle would be the closest depot to me. Seems strange how the majority of Newcastle on this forum haven't heard anything yet!
