Any btw engineers about lol

Ah that's good news freeview simply ain't gonna cut it for the next week

Do you mean BT Wholesale engineer? I'm thinking you're perhaps referring to power or data engineers? Some of us CSE's do full broadband but I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to get at.

Got Assessment 31st May.
What exactly is the colour blind test, do they use the plug you have wired up to ask you the colours or are they the wires from a master socket etc? Are they all bunched up or separate?

Just worried as those disc tests show me as colour blind, but when wiring up plugs and phone sockets etc in the past I have never had a problem.

They just ask you the colours of pairs from a cable. I only got asked 2.

When I did this, I was asked to identify three pairs. Ie, Find me the Grey and red pair, or The White and green. This was after I had completed my Plug.

The color test for me was a cable of about 50 pairs and you had to correctly identify 3 different pairs, the hardest one was a brown/red pair.

You where not allowed to get to close to it either!

Hi any advice got my assessment tomorrow 12.30 in Cardiff do you know the failure rate or are some invited to make up the numbers? Bricking it how's the diet going good I hope

Just be yourself mate and dont over think and stress out,maths and english test on laptop,cant really say more than that,its a level checker to see where you are,you cant pass/fail it,same as plug test really its just to see that you can follow instructions,remember to put safety glasses on as it doesnt tell you to.colour blind test is a bunch of cables joined together in pairs and he will ask you to picj out green/yellow,red/brown etc.and the 2 interviews,remember they are trying to see who you are as a person not trying to trip you up,they may ask you some information about openreach they may not,just try and relax and dont babble on or whisper and also they will only write down what you say so dont wait round for a prompt,thats about it,good luck mate.8 pound gone in 6 days so hoping to be back for 3rd july.
