Also searching for hotels. So you guys suggest the Airport Hotel? Will have a look into it. Any other recommendations?

Who is going in November?

See you there and good luck to all of you!!

Anyone figured out the file problem?

I`m going in for the 15th of October :uhoh:

Mine opened flawlessly, both versions. And I bought the Skytest CD. I am also there on Oct 15th, Ibis Hotel.

Buona fortuna!

DK :ok:

Going on 15th and staying in Motel One - seems to be 2 minutes walk from DLR Centre.

Re: Drag King
 

Drag King, check your PM`s:ok:

Going on the 22nd Oct
 

I'll be going on the 22nd of October.

I'll be staying at Meinhotelinhamburg, which apparently is well located (next to the airport and next to the DLR center), cheap and OK : http://www.meinhotelinhamburg.de

See you there perhaps :)

Hi. I'm also there on the 22nd and staying at the Mein.

That may help for the English test...
 

15th October
 

I'll be there on October 15th.
I'm gonna stay at www.meinhotelinhamburg.de , apparently nice, 44 euros per night.
See you there guys, good luck to all of you !

Anyone else having their DLR on the 7th October?

Count me in for 7th October.

I am on the 7th, Meinhotel

Has anybody an idea about the OWT test, if the zero point for the clocks is at the same point for 1 exercise, or does it change like in the CBT lvl3 from DLR.

I'm sorry, you're wrong, it does NOT change in the CBT al lvl3!

:ok:

If you are able to recall anything about the test afterwards, you have probably failed! You need to know that there will be digits missing and that you have about 1.25 secs to scan the screen. You will have NO capacity to recall what you saw!

On the same subject, the best tip I read was to move your chair as far back as possible from the monitor. This simple trick means your eyes have to scan through a smaller angle and I found it remarkably helpful.

Also, don't panic if you have a blank on the day. You almost certainly won't get all four dials correct. I averaged three and on at least one run, I only got two.

Most of the tests at DLR can be seen as a test of your ability to cope under pressure and keep going without giving up. If you feel you have loused a round up, try to put it immediately behind you and carry on. You will, hopefully, be pleasantly surprised. As you will hear on the day, many of the tests are doubled such that they take your average over two tests.

Just to confirm: Is there an interview that day? and also is Maths and Physics being tested? Still finding that Cube rotation exercise a nightmare!!!

hi again,

As I understand DLR test is one day long.
Then we go back home and if we pass DLR we are invited back to sim and interview.

Correct me if I m wrong.

Cheers,

A question for the people who already did the DLR test last week.

Do you receive pen and paper for KRN - Mental Arithmetic?

And a question about RMS, what is a good average to pass this test. Is 4,5 sufficient?

Thanks in advance.

@SW1.

A good tip on the cube rotation is to imagine a pencil sticking out of the cube such that if the opening position is up, the pencil points vertically upwards and if it is right the pencil points horizontally right. Somehow, imagining the sweep of the pencil through the air with each rotation is easier than trying to picture the cube itself. Try it you'll see. And again, don't be phased on the day. The last run is almost impossible. I think they include it just to see if it is humanly possible. And make sure you are clear from which perspective the "forward" rotation is (i.e. is it away or towards the observer) I misunderstood this at first.

@ rubino

A good score at RMS is 4+. Here are a few tips to help with this if you are finding it difficult. Firstly try grouping the numbers into logical patterns. You are laughing for instance, if you get 325 (a BMW) or 767 etc. Assuming, that isn't the case try visualising the numbers in a rack four digits wide. As soon as the rack is full move this rack down in you mind and start filling the next rack directly above this. When the second rack is full, nod (yes really nod!). If your mind is like mine, you will immediately forget the first four digits but still retain the last four in your minds eye. In the worst case, the numbers will stop now and you will only get 4, but if you are lucky you will get between 5 and 8 as the new rack fills up. There are enough runs to easily get over 4 as an average. Incidentally, I tried variations of this method using three racks of three and two racks of five etc, but the two racks of four worked best for me.
