Fingers crossed!!
I felt like I did okay with the English and Maths tests. Not to sure with my second interview though! Just the anxious wait is going to be a killer!!

doesnt matter about the maths anfd english mate,you cant fail them so dont worry about that,there to see what academic level your at to see if you might need a bit of tuition during your training,thats what we were told as we were the guinnea pigs of that style of testing and firsat ones to do it.

Congratulations mate, well done! Glad your joining the team

YOU OFF FOR YOUR NEW WHEELS TOMORROW MATE??WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO FOR THE ASSESMENT?HAD MY CONFERENCE CALL TODAY,ALL SORTED NOW READY FOR SUNDAT AFTERNOON.

Yeah mate, van colllection this morning! Up early excited haha.

Assessment varies depending on what instructor you get for what I can gather.....I just drove for an hour then swapped with another guy who drove for an hour all while being assessed but I've heard other guys only driving 20 minutes then swapping then the instructor would drive and highlight anything that they may have been doing wrong.
