Do West Midlands require standard or advance passes?
Can confirm they ask for enhanced pass. (In the process myself)
Hi
As anyone else had an email off West Midlands Railway about stage 2 assessments in Jan 19. I've booked on 5th Jan I'm Watford
Hi
Tests I completed were the computer test: -
1) Flashing grey square that turns black and you hit the green button when this happens. Takes around 30 mins. Not as bad I thought really as it is clear when it changes. Just have to watch your finger for involuntary pushes after a while.
2) The picture of traffic and then selecting what you saw in it. The picture goes really quick and you convince youself that you saw something that wasn't in the picture. My advice go with gut feeling Id rather miss something then say something was there and it wasn't
3) 2 Hand c0-ordination test- I personally found this the most difficult. The shape stays the same for the entire 10 rounds but I found the joysticks a little sensitive.
Following these tests your scores are reviewed against the enhanced mark and if you pass you go onto MMI if not you are sent home
I passed Tests one and two at enhanced however only reached national pass mark for third test therefore I was sent home. Not too bad as I can redo it in six months and just test three.
Hope this helps
It helps a lot if you are mouse and keyboard gamer and/or know how to control drone - I found 2 hand test easy enough. One more thing - you do NOT have to sit perfectly between lines, if you come out of route, just come back as soon as possible and you will be fine. Be fast with this one! I passed at enhanced level and found 2 hand easy. Only test I was not sure about was pictures - it was pretty quick, although my advice would be to mark only what you are sure you've seen, During 2 hand test I found I've got better control when I keep both hands on the base of control panel.
