TfL (Transport For London) graduate scheme - 2012 intake

Hey Guys

I have got through to the online test (bit of a miracle as its the 3rd consecutive year I have applied) and just did the practice one on SHL.

Very hard!

I got 29%, 15 correct out of 22 I answered. 36 questions in total.

Has anyone else done the practice test?

Does anyone know what the required pass mark is for the actual tfl one?

I have applied for LU PM - got through to online testing and I have completed the practice but not the real thing yet. The practice from SHL for LU-PM is just verbal reasoning. 34 questions in 20 minutes, and a new peice of text to read and comprehend every 2 questions.
It was hard!

How do you know what you got on the online test? Did they send an email? I did mine on the 10th Jan, but can't remember getting results back.

Hey I thought the test for LU PM was a numerical reasoning test, not verbal?

I expected a numerical too - but all that SHL gave me for the practice was verbal. Doing the actaul test this afternoon so will let you all know after Ive done it.

Cool that will be a help , good luck!

Havent you done a numerical practice before? I just selected a numerical one when I logged in to SHL. Might be worth doing a practice numerical just in case
as on the link
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/microsites/graduates/639.asp#Online_ability_testing lists it just lists numerical test or inductive reasoning, not verbal as such..

How do you feel about it - confident?

I'm glad others haven't had any sort of reply from TfL either, makes me feel a bit better! I have applied for Transport Planning for Surface Transport too. Can anyone tell me how I can log back into my TfL account where it tells you the status of your application please? I can't seem to find how to get onto it

When I did the practice test it only told me what percentage I got correct and said that not enough people had done the test to give me a percentile score (this was on wednesday). Nevermind, good luck people!

Did you just have to do numerical reasoning?
Any ideas what sort of per centage you need to get through usually?

I have tried to log in but i can't remember my log in password, tried clicking the 'forgotten password' link but I don't get a password reminder or reset email in my inbox.

I think i'm going to email the [email protected] address given in my application confirmation email if I don't hear anything by close of play tomorrow, I'm just concerned that I am not getting anything from them in my inbox as my uni email address has an apostrophe in it and I know from experience some email servers don't recognise it as a valid address (damn irish lineage)

If anyone else that has applied for transport planning hears anything back will you post on here so I know if i've missed something. thanks in advance.

Thank you for the link it won't let me log in either and I know that my password is right and the 'forgot password' link won't work either bit annoying but oh well.

Yeah I think that might be a good shout, I would just like to know either way so I don't feel like I'm just sitting here waiting to hear from them.

I would log back into SHL and it should have a link to your results where it list the tests you have completed.

That is the wrong log-in. The correct one is here: https://tflcandidate.gradweb.uk.com/Graduates2012/Login.aspx?cookieCheck=true

I have done the test, the numerical test was hard, not enough time to do all the questions and I panicked at the last 5 questions n just guessed so i don't think i ll get through to next stage...... but the inductive test wasn't as bad. All the best guys!
