So is the numerical reasoning test about basic maths or interpretaing data from a table as the practise test on shl seems to be about data

Cool! I didn't get through to the interview. Really annoyed. But I felt I was underaged so at a disadvantage. I was the only one there who was 15. Most were 18 or 19 and at college, studying mechanical engineering. So how old are you, and how did u do on the tests?

The numerical is not like shl. It's areas, basic subtraction. Ratios, but it's not really easy as you might think. I passed the technical, which is reading passages and answering questions. I passed the numerical The fault and mechanical I failed. This was probably cos I haven't done them at school. People like you are at college so may be studying it. Mechanical is pulleys and stuff. Fault will be explained ,I can't explain it to you. When is your testing day. As sizewellls testing is finished now so?
Thanks for the information and my test is tomorrow and I'm not at college yet so haven't seen them before, so in your opinion what grade would the tests be, B,C?

Grade C. A although if your at high school like me. Then you wouldn't have done any of the mechanical or fault. So good luck. So u applying for sisewell
No I applied for the maintenance engineering at Portsmouth and I have done lots of mechanical aptitude tests before when I applied for Nuvia and Heta so I hope there similar haha
the email for the post testing interview doesn't say that we need to bring a presentation but i have read that other people saying they have took a presentation and I remember him saying at the testing session that we need to be able to present a presentation on any given subject.
I got the apprenticeship with EDF starting in September. Anyone else successful? 😄
