Mine went paper assessments in a hotel.
Computer assessments and mmi a few weeks later.
Then finally DMI a few weeks after that.
I only used the material they sent me for practice.

Looks like South Wales are doing paper then computer tests over two dates whereas North Wales, Chester, Crewe & Shrewsbury are being invited to sit psychometrics in one day.

Hi, best of luck for the paper tests! I didn’t purchase any guides but used things online and the practice pack they sent.
There is also this brilliant online resource for Group Bourdon which I used both online and also screenshotted to print out and try on paper like the actual test.
Group Bourdon test - dot cancellation test
The group Bourdon test, or a variation of it, the Bourdon-Wirsma test, also known as the dot cancellation test, will help you assess your ability to focus

There is plenty of info on this forum for the high/low tones test; this thread I found really helpful—
TEA-OCC.

Computer tests and MMI done, waiting game now so relieved it’s all over. Possibly DMI if successful. The assessor said there wouldn’t be a long wait if successful as there are not many in the pool
Wow there's lots of movement going on now..exciting. Well done to all so far.
I am booked for paper tests on 2nd Feb at Cardiff.
Anyone got tips for TRP? Is it tones and directory?
Have downloaded all the software I can find and read the prep material a thousand times. Fingers crossed!

Just found out I passed the assessments, and the MMI. I got my DMI on Monday ! So excited, is the interview with two managers ?
yes mate with two. Research a bit about the company and the role / expectations of a driver and go over your answers from the MMI. Think about customer service and conflict resolution as well. Good luck!

Thanks for this mate, hopefully I will be fresh it’s 9am, and I’m not a fan of the teams interviews, would much rather face to face.

I had my DMI just before Christmas. Like you I'd much prefer face to face but the Teams interview went well and the two DM's were excellent, very personable and made me feel at ease. I actually quite enjoyed it so don't get too stressed about it, they just want to see the real you and make sure you're a good fit.

Thanks, that’s good to hear. Are you in the Pool now ? I heard there are not many left in the pool from the assessors.

I have a start date already, was only in the pool for about a day! Probably because of the low numbers, as you say.

Hello, congratulations to everyone who has already heard, passed and in the pool !
I applied a couple of years back, and last email was around Nov 2021 to advise I’m still in the process I’ve passed the other stage and they will be in touch, seems be taking a while, just wondering if anyone else was still waiting? I have email the contact a few times with no response.

When you say you have passed the other stage, do you mean the the applications ? Or have you sat any assessments ?Hello, congratulations to everyone who has already heard, passed and in the pool

So pleased you got a dmi! Congrats!Hi, been following the forum. I've had an email today to say my dmi is next week, just wondering how yours went this week? Thanks
I feel mine went well, at risk of jinxing it - a fair few positive comments after questions and never was stuck for an answer. So, fingers crossed!
Took dot on an hour with about 6 sections based around different, and I think all, aspects of the role. The interviewers were very nice thank you! ah it sounds like yours went really well! I've got my fingers crossed for you, when are they letting you know?So pleased you got a dmi! Congrats!

They don’t actually make the decision but send it back to recruitment apparently - or something along those lines. So I think roughly next week perhaps! Thank you very much thoughthank you! ah it sounds like yours went really well! I've got my fingers crossed for you, when are they letting you know?
