Problem Solving

Reasoning · 5 / 10 / 25 questions

Free

What you do

Timed operational questions: faults, signals, and what to do next.

Why it is useful

Selection is not only staring at squares. You also have to pick a safe next step against the clock. The dramatic answer is often worse than the boring one: stop, protect, tell someone. Practice here is for the type of decision, not a leaked paper.

Route Monitoring

Reasoning · 5 / 8 / 12 trials

Plus

What you do

Read a junction request and choose Set or Hold. Occupied, locked, or unproven means hold.

Why it is useful

Signaller selection cares about this default: do not set a route you cannot prove. The trap is setting because the request is sitting there.

Error Detection

Reasoning · 5 / 8 / 12 questions

Plus

What you do

Compare two papers. Spot the mismatch, then name it.

Why it is useful

Noticing that two versions do not agree is cab and signaller work. Finding a difference is not enough. You have to say what kind of error it is.

Reasoning · 5 / 10 / 25 questions

Plus

What you do

Harder timed questions: compound faults, signalling, and multi-step logic.

Why it is useful

The first problem-solving set is the shape of the task. This one stacks steps. The boring safe answer is still usually better than the dramatic one.

What you do

A short work scene. Pick the most appropriate response, then the least.

Why it is useful

This is often the first filter, before you ever sit a vigilance screen. They are not testing whether you like trains. They are testing your defaults: do you stop when you should, tell the right person, and avoid passing danger because it would be inconvenient. Silence is a common trap.
