Scotrail assessment centre question.

I have a question reggarding Scotrail assessment centre in Glasgow. I passed an assessment there in March 2020 and could have sworn that they said if you pass the assessment you are kept on file for 3 years and don't have to do any more. Now I have applied for another job there and the other day I got an email to do an online assessment (you had to pass this one before going to Glasgow). I submitted it anyway but am I misrembering about the 3 year thing (it was Abellio at the time)

Cheers

    I'd recommend throwing this question on railuk forums as they have a whole forum dedicated to this and some very experienced hands. 

    I haven't done the newer test centre but back when I did the old ones they did keep results on file for a number of years, I think it was 5 but I might be wrong.

    BUT this only applied to the opc standard tests done at the centre. Some companies did an I initial sift with their own online tests before you got asked to go to the test centre in which case they can do it any way they like, I'd expect to have to redo that stage for every application 

    Good luck,
