Guys, what did you think about Helion test?
I managed to fail twice answering 77% correctly. So far, wasn't given a chance to do it for the third time...
Usually I pass from the first attempt. Is the test rather difficult or is it just that I am too tired these days? :-)

How much do you need to score to pass? 100%?

I've just failed too. Soooo embarrassing. Twice I hit the "play" button thinking I was going to play a clip and it went onto the next page & I couldn't go back so had to guess two tests - NOT the best plan. Funnily enough, I didn't fail by that much.
I knew I was too tired to look at it before I started, should have listened to my body . I don't think it is difficult though, it is a good refresher of things we need to be looking for.

Once your first job has been approved, your account will change from probationary to active and you will be able to pick up as many jobs as you like (but certain jobs you can only accept one anyway). HTH

HP, can this be added to the RE FAQs please? This question keeps popping up!

I have MSed for TNS for donkeys' years and didn't know there was a TNS SASSIE site! I have only ever been aware of the MERCURY system. I need enlightenment, please.

I discovered, accidentally, that if you close the webpage while you're doing the test or reviewing your test responses, you can go back to the start without the previous attempt registering as one of your allowed attempts.

I had actually got a pass (92%) on my first attempt, but lost my internet connection while I was at the stage of reviewing my results. I had to reboot the computer (a quirk on my system). So I had to start again. I passed again on my second attempt (but it was still showing as my first), but I didn't submit, just reviewed results and closed the webpage. When I went in and took the test again (passed again!), I submitted and it showed as a pass on a first attempt. There was no sign that I had taken the test three times. I thought this might help anyone who has clicked through too quickly.

I believe this is answered on the first page on the thread topyam.

I had a quirk on mine that my first attempt stayed up for a while and let me go back and re-try the questions. Still showed as failed but I could use it to check the answers before I tried my second attempt. Having said that there was one question that I still got wrong and I dont know why. It looked right to me but failed even when I swapped answers.

Liked the moon dancing bear.

You need to sign up again, you can't use your current TNS login details.

(And I've just added that to the front page )

I had seen this before, but cannot for the life of me be sure where. All I can think is that it must have been on utube some while ago, or that I could have been shown it at some auditor training session. As the clip started, I remembered "13" AND "bear". I watched the clip several times, but still couldn't recall where I had seen it. Now it's bugging me!:rotfl:

I've seen the bear thing before. I thought it might have been on some sort of public information film, like about safe driving or something?

I passed the test with 100% first time *swotty pants* :rotfl:
