Great news, well done, I'm still awaiting a date for the psychometrics. Did you do them in Doncaster?I had my psychometric testing today and passed
I did, there was myself and one other person from lner taking the tests.Great news, well done, I'm still awaiting a date for the psychometrics. Did you do them in Doncaster?
Did you get much notice for them? Assuming you found out on the same day you passed? Is the assesment day 8-4, just wondering as I will probably have to stop over the night before.I did, there was myself and one other person from lner taking the tests.
No problem it's what the thread is for! I stayed overnight just so that a traffic jam or something else out of my control couldn't ruin all of the work I had put in so far. Also wanted to be well rested and not stressed out first thing in the morning! I got about a weeks notice for when it would be. Assessment started at 09:00 and I was out by 14:00 but there was only two of is and I did the final interview first.Did you get much notice for them?

Sorry for all the questions
Many thanks, appreciate it, found out I passed the DMI beginning of April so hopefully not much longer to wait for themNo problem it's what the thread is for!

Hi MawCo, can I ask which package you went with on the how2become website? There are so many to choose from!If you want to practice the psychometric tests, I'd recommend the how2become.com software - it was harder than some tests, so it was good practice.
Good luck with your future application!

Thank you shunted. Just not sure which one to get, submitted GCSE evidence and wanted to practise for the psychometrics in the hope that I get invited soon but the software listed on there appears to be for some of the tests I have already done at an earlier stage?I would definitely use the software from this company instead, it’s a lot closer to the actual tests you will do on the day.Learn To Become A Train Driver

I was very disappointed with how2become software

If I had to recommend any, it would be the package for the vigilance, traffic perception and 2 hand coordination!Wh
Which ones have you already done?
So have I and would be grateful to a link for the ‘free’ practice aids??Having sat the real things, the training available for free is superior to that you can buy.
I don’t, was just intrigued by this ‘superior’ free training aids you can get and from your description it does sound useful but definitely not superior!Gb test is a sticky on this forum.
Theres a tone test on this forum.
There are vigilance test on YouTube identical the real test.
There are real ATAVT examples online, some images used in the real test too.
Two hand coordination requires the specific hardware, the real practice materials you will have got as practice material is the most you're going to get.
If you've passed why do you want the material?

Thanks palThink there are about 15 if I remember right. They are up for about a second, if that
Many thanksSearch for the test on YouTube, a demo of it is available there. Timings are exactly as per that video.
If you want to practice, get a friend to use Google Street view to get images from various traffic junctions in Vienna and have them show you them on a print / screen for 1 or 2 seconds.
On the day Its 15/16ish images plus a practice. Two of my images were in the software manufacturers YouTube video
Hi MawCo,Hi,
I’ve received an offer and start this month. There’s a lot of different stages still so I think they’re looking at it based on notice period and what not also. However, I’ve heard they’re taking a lot on so if you haven’t heard anything yet don’t worry too much about it they’re just trying to work thru everyone.
That's great news congratulations!Hi,

Congratulations! Amazing oppurtunity.. What line of work are you leaving behind if you don't mind me asking? Is Train driving something you have wanted to do for a long time or quite a spontaneous dicision?Hi,

Hey,Hi MawCo,
Congratulations on the start date! You looking forward to starting? I’m sure you’ll smash it!
I do have a notice period of 2 months so maybe that is a factor. I imagine there very busy so will just have to wait it out.
All the best in the job role!
I was self-employed as a researcher but was also a sparky so bit of a mixed background. I’ve always wanted to do it as I’m now a third generation so it’s kind of the family business in a sense so very happy to be continuing the traditionCongratulations! Amazing oppurtunity.. What line of work are you leaving behind if you don't mind me asking? Is Train driving something you have wanted to do for a long time or quite a spontaneous dicision?
