Tube lines assesment advice needed.

[theking]

Hi,
I've got an invite to attend a psychometric test for a vacancy within Tube lines, does anyone on this forum work for them or have any advice on what to expect?

I'm pretty sure it depends on the role of the job, what role did you get?

Sorry forgot to put it in my original post it's for the role of an assistant engineer train operator

It'll be the SCAAT test which is same as the dots test but uses shapes instead of the infamous dots.
You'll also have the reactions test, this has foot pedals, buttons and a screen... Oh and earphones. I can't remember the exact way it goes as it's been a while since I done it.
Also you'll probably do MT4.1 mechanical comprehension test, this is a piece of **** if youve got an engineering back ground - it's the pulleys, gears, levers test.

So basically the same type of test as what the TOC's have people go through. How difficult is the test to pass with no engineering background?.

If you can think with logic you'll do fine. Look up mechanical comprehension test on google. Would post a link but I'm at work, sorry.

Thanks for the help and advice, do you work for them?
