    Hi mate ive got mine today, you got any tips? And was it the brake or clutch pedal test that you had to do?
    It was the Brake pedal, no other test, I was expecting 2, was expecting the magnet test also but never got it.
    You have 6 mins, 13 stages, they show you what to do, just watch & listen.

    Ive got mine at Castle Vale, Birmingham. I got nervous last time too and the time just flew by. Yeah i reapplied after 3 months mate, the vacancy dissappeared for a while but then it came back, and yep you have to do the online test again.

    What did you get stuck on during the test?

    Did my manual assessment today at Halewood. Does anyone know what the rate of pay is with Manpower and likely working hours?

    Did my manual assessment today, and completed it with time to spare. However im worried I might have made mistake, when screwing the bolts onto the brake pedal, the bolts were NOT completely tight, and so the brake pedal was a bit loose, could this mean ive failed?
  • Yer did mine today messed it up put the nuts where they should'nt go and then redone it all,I did just make it in the time but don't think i'll go any further:(

    My other half applied again today, did the online assessment then got an email almost straight away saying he has been unsuccessful and they won't be taking his application further :( He said the questions were 'pretty much' the same as when he did it last time (he passed it back then and got all the way to interview stage but unfortunately didn't get it). I don't really need any advice, but rightly or wrongly I can't help but feel upset with him although I don't want to go on at him as he's upset with himself too. I don't understand how he can pass it first time but not the second. If I wasn't pregnant I'd just apply myself but right now it would be pointless. I'm guessing he'll have to wait another 3 months before applying again. So disappointed.

    Sorry to hear that, dont know if it will work, but you could try applying again using a different email address?
