    Can anybody recall the letter you search for on the final wall of letters?

    T and the first letter of each line

    Good luck. Give yourself a good 2 hours to complete so you can have a little break. The 30 questions section is mind-numbing. But at least it's not timed.
    (The other two sections are timed but don't take too long)

    Just finished the tests.

    Yeah, the 30 SJT questions were painful, I thought I’d never get to the end.
    The RAAT was grand, it’s just a verbal reasoning test and I’ve done loads of them in preparation for the Civil Service aptitude tests.
    The miniSCAAT is designed so that the majority of people won’t finish it, really checking how you deal under pressure (the time constraint).

    Pretty happy with them!

    It doesn’t matter if you don’t finish the timed tests. What’s more important is that what you did answer was correct. Your score will be compared to a norm score anyway and the majority of people don’t finish timed tests.

    Just finished stage two testing. After the first part of The Scaat section, I just selected random letters for part 2 and 3. Only way to get it all done as didn’t even get halfway through the first bunch of letters.

    You aren't meant to finish all the rows.
    You lose marks for getting things wrong in the scaat tests so part 2 and 3 are probably a lost cause.

    Ah no I’m they look at it as me being fast and quick off the mark. I rarely chose quantity over quality but did this time so fingers crossed

    I wish Id sorted a mouse for that last test, would have been quicker, using the laptop touch pad didn't make it easier.

    Not yet, but the test only closed yesterday. I presume everyone will hear at much the same time, when they've had a chance to digest the results. At a pure guess, I'd say a week or so.
    Never know, maybe the computer can spit the results out quicker...

    That’s how all psychometric tests work. These tests are generally designed by occupational psychologists, I have a little experience in the field, especially analysis of results etc

    CIE are notoriously slow at this sort of thing.

    You could be waiting months , even more...

    If only it were that simple! Here is a short training video from the UK.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WlCaSDgvFiE

    Drivers need to learn every inch of the line. Speed limits, signal numbers & what they relate to, geographical stuff (gradients, nearby locations, landmarks, bridges etc).

    Then you have the ups and downs. (On the East coast route in the UK you go up to London and down to Edinburgh)

    I understand the application is back open in six months time. Presumably they'll have progressed some of the initial applications by then?
    Do you mean waiting months or more for actual appointments, or this could be the wait time to hear back from the Stage 2 tests? If the latter, that would be slow by any measure.

    Open again in 6 months? No chance. Applicants in this cycle in the 5 figures. It will take a long time to exhaust that panel.
