Hi Jeff - I think from reading the forum there have only been two rounds of Part 2 tests so far from those of us at Chester earlier in July.Hi,
I was emailed on 13th July that I’d passed the paper tests in Chester the previous week, and that I’d be given a date for the computer tests ‘very soon’ if I hadn’t had them already.
I haven’t heard back yet, I’ve emailed Laura gently enquiring if there was any progress and that I was worried I may have been missed off a list, but not reply yet…just wondering if anyone else from the Chester paper tests was in a similar position or if I have been forgotten?!
I know patience is a virtue, I’m just hoping that I haven’t slipped through the net!
Ahh ok thanks for replying-I have been looking through the messages on here but obviously missed that!Hi Jeff - I think from reading the forum there have only been two rounds of Part 2 tests so far from those of us at Chester earlier in July.
What depots are you in for?
That could be a factor due to TFW need etc
I don’t know but just guessing from what I’ve readAhh ok thanks for replying-I have been looking through the messages on here but obviously missed that!
I’m in for Chester, I’ll try to forget it and just wait for the email to drop into my inbox!
Apologies for the delay, when I had my medical, I didn't hear anything at all. They will only contact you if there is a problem. Literally, no news is good news, as they say! Hope it goes well for you.Out of interest, what's the procedure after you have had a medical? Do you get told straightaway if you have passed? If you have passed are there further steps? How long after you passed is a job offer made?
Thanks
P.s no I have not had a medical yet
I should add, After the medical, then next thing I heard was the Background / DBS check then right to work documentation and a date for the course. A month after the medical, I was ordering my uniform and sending photos off for my ID etc. Fingers crossed it shouldn't take too long.Apologies for the delay, when I had my medical, I didn't hear anything at all.

No, nothing as of yet. I had an email back in march asking for my N.I number again, second one I've had. Saying that they will arrange an assessment day in a few months. Still have not heard anything.Anyone had any news on Carmarthen yet?
Thanks for reply. So is that the attention tests and memory tests?It'll be paper only.
It should say in email what tests it will be. Did you get prep materials?Thanks for reply. So is that the attention tests and memory tests?
Yes received a 90 page train driver assessment document that starts with the dot style tests and finishes with the MMI. Email says:It should say in email what tests it will be. Did you get prep materials?
Did you sit all your tests in one day?So DMI done yesterday
Nearly 90 minutes
Very relaxed to be fair and now the wait begins.
Should hear within a week or so.

Cheers PalGood luck mate
Hope it's good news for you mateCheers Pal
That helps massively thank you. At least I know what to practice for now. I’ve been practising the dots and dial tests which are readily available with a quick google search. Any other tips/advice on how to practice what to expect without sounding too cheeky. Thanks.Hi mate - no
Paper test at Stage 1 takes about 3 hours
Written Communication
Group Bourdon
Tones test
TRRP test - GLOP
Dials Test
Complete a questionnaire for the MMI in stage 2
Stage 2 was a few weeks later
SJE - not scored but links to MMi
Vigilance Test
Concentration Test
2 Handed Coordination Test
If you pass those it’s the MMI
hope that helps
Yes this forum has also been of great help for me so thanks everyone. I have my assessment day this Thursday in Chester as well. One thing I haven’t been able to get an answer to though is the dot test scoring? Do you get downgraded for missing dots or just crossing the wrong ones if that makes sense. I normally get to line 10 without any errors but occasionally miss a few out? Any ideas anyone??Hi everyone, this is the first time I've posted on here but I just wanted to give a huge thank you to the contributions people have made on this thread. I have my Paper Assessments in Chester on Thursday and the information available on here has really helped me to prepare and certainly made me feel much more relaxed about what to expect.
Best of luck to everybody on here, whichever stage of the process you may currently be at!
Good luck. Hopefully, you won’t have too long to wait.So DMI done yesterday
