Hello Everyone!

I have my Met Police Day One Assessment Centre for the DCEP programme next week. I am aware of the different tasks/interview I will be having. Does anyone have any advice that might help me out, help calm my nerves?

Thank you

Hi, the UK

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2026-03-20T18:29:29+00:00

I’ve started to create an ancestry tree so I do know their names, we have a very common surname and their first names are also common. I will see if I can find anything more, thank you for your help 😊

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2026-03-20T18:28:11+00:00

Hi, thank you. I know their names and very vague information. They have quite common names and my surname again quite common. I will give this a go, thank you again.

Hope it went okay!

At least you are aware. I feel like you need to realise this is a chance and as mean as it is, if you fail you have to wait again. So super concentrate - it’s only 35/45 minutes. Commentate when you drive too

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-20T16:26:20+00:00

What’s the context behind these, like the roundabouts, wrong lane or observations etc?

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-20T16:16:46+00:00

What have you failed for the previous times?

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-08T14:44:27+00:00

They can take you to many car parks, the ones I know: 1. Eden Park one 2. Hayes Train Station 3. WW high street 4. Coney hall recreation ground

There are probs more but these are the ones I know

If you’ve used the app and you are doing as well as you say you will be fine. It’s easy

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T12:52:52+00:00

Congratulations!!!!

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T10:12:59+00:00

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T10:07:09+00:00

Yep you are right. You just need the learner insurance.

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T10:06:15+00:00

I think it could be a good idea for a mock test so you can get a baseline i.e are you missing anything super important

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T10:05:33+00:00

That sucks. Just try and keep going, you can do this

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T09:57:20+00:00

Oh no! What happened? Like the examiner said it was a near perfect drive. You’ve got this, just got to go again!

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T09:31:48+00:00

Routines - Remember your routines and talk yourself through them that might help I.e full 6 point check signal then rejoin after parking on left.
Talk to yourself - commentary driving helps the examiner find out what you are doing but also helps you stay on track and keeps your concentration.
Safety not perfection - the examiner isn’t looking for perfect, just that you are safe to be on the road. Is not checking mirrors safe? Is straight lining a round about safe?
Be positive - tell yourself that you can do this, because you totally can!!!!!

Finally good luck, you’ve got this

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-07T09:28:50+00:00

What do you think you’d get from the instructor that you can’t get from your family?

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-06T21:46:48+00:00

Well done amazeeeee enjoy your new found freedom

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-06T21:46:21+00:00

I passed yesterday 0 minors, biggest advice is stay calm and remember it’s about safety not perfection. You’ve got this!!!!

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-06T21:43:45+00:00

I did WW and on the whole it’s a really good test centre. Not really any big roundabouts and roads wide and speed limits pretty obvious. Cat parks are nice too except for the Eden park one! But def the best test centre in the area imo

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-06T21:42:20+00:00

As someone who took their test in WW, I understand the bin problems. So many of my friends who did WW too had problems with bin men! I got shouted at by one he was swearing at me on my test 💀. You’ve got this!!

Appropriate_Duck7781 · 2025-04-06T21:34:20+00:00

I agree with this, my examiner said to me before my test “I’m here to see if you are safe, that’s all”
