Test instructions
You get a set time to study a passage of railway rules and procedures, then answer multiple-choice questions from memory. There are 12 mocks across 4 difficulty tiers — Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert (3 of each). Both the study time and the passage length scale up with the tier, so the harder mocks give you far more to memorize. This assesses your ability to retain and recall safety-critical information under time pressure.
What It Measures
- Memory retention under time pressure
- Ability to absorb written safety-critical information
- Recall accuracy for rules and procedures
How It Works
- 12 mocks across 4 tiers: Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert (3 each)
- Study time scales by tier: 45s (Foundation) up to 115s (Expert)
- Difficulty rises through passage length - harder tiers give you more to memorize
- Passage is then hidden
- Answer 4-7 multiple choice questions from memory
- Total: ~3-5 minutes per mock
Expert Tips
- Read actively - focus on key safety rules, numbers, and procedures
- Mentally group related information to aid recall
- Don't stress about every detail - focus on the main points
- Practice improves both speed and accuracy
