I know. I was replying to WBA0986 who asked me what dates I’d been given
Cheers for the reply and cheers tezza. Unfortunately I am only at stage 1 same as you tezza. Oh well the wait goes on.

I’m not going that day but I’ve booked a room the night before too. I’m getting the train though not driving.

Top plan. Booked a hotel to stay the night before my final interview. Glad I did, helps to relax instead of stressful travel on the day.

Well done I'm going for mine soon just a bit unsure about the plumbing exam and glop

I didn’t find it too difficult tbh IMO you just need to keep calm, not go mad and try and rush just keep to a nice pace and be accurate.

Also try not to let others sitting around you distract you or effect your rhythm as you do sit quite close together and I seemed to have some genius next to me who just flew through everything haha was difficult not to get drawn into a speed contest!

Hi. It’s the lowest arrow in the actual test not colour.

Yeah. I couldn’t be doing with the stress if there were delays. I’m dreading the interview the most. I find it hard to think of interesting examples.

Hi, dont worry about that...you all have 3 practice examples on the day and the examiner will come around and make sure everyone gets them right and ensure everyone fully understands...i quite enjoyed the dials test, managed to do 31 questions from around 43.

Good luck to the anybody sitting the Stage 2 this week.

Sat mine today and managed to get through to the MMI so very happy I don’t have to sit that concentration test again!

advice for people sitting the Stage 2 Especially on the joystick/hand eye coordination don’t get stressed about coming out of the path/channel I did it a few times on each attempt and still passed to the higher standard. Be aware they expect mistakes they are also looking for speed of completion so don’t spend ages trying to be perfect but slow.

MMI is still the standard questions that are posted all over the forum so do abit of prep on those and you should be fine

and don’t expect to be done by 1pm as mentioned in the email!

I've never known anyone that failed every single assessment, least u went and had a crack at it, I remember reading u were close to giving up as the recruitment process was too long and too much waiting.
