What is RIS-3751-TOM?

RIS-3751-TOM is the Rail Industry Standard that sets out requirements for psychometric assessment in train driver selection on the GB mainline railway.

How many attempts do I get at the train driver psychometric assessment?

From December 2024, new candidates get 3 attempts under the three attempt rule. Candidates who started before December 2024 follow the two attempt rule.

What is the 2HAND test?

The 2HAND test measures your ability to track a moving target using coordinated hand movements. You control two axes simultaneously, requiring smooth, proportionate inputs.

Do I need gaming experience to pass?

No. The test measures coordination, not gaming skill. In fact, gamers sometimes over-correct. Focus on smooth, deliberate movements rather than quick reactions.

What if I keep over-correcting?

This is the most common problem. Relax your grip, breathe steadily, and make smaller movements. Accept small deviations rather than chasing perfect tracking.

Is hand coordination trainable?

Yes. Regular practice builds motor control and reduces tension. Focus on smoothness first, then gradually increase difficulty.

Hand Coordination (2HAND)

Practice making controlled, accurate movements in response to visual stimuli - essential for smooth train handling and precise control inputs.

What This Test Measures

This practice develops controlled hand coordination: the ability to make accurate, appropriate and smooth movements in response to changing visual information.

Why This Matters for Train Drivers

Train handling depends on smooth, proportionate control inputs.
Over-correction under pressure can make performance worse.
Drivers need stable motor control during high workload.
Good coordination is calm, economical and controlled.

Real-World Examples

•Making smooth traction and braking adjustments.
•Correcting speed drift without abrupt inputs.
•Maintaining control during low-speed movements.
•Avoiding tense or exaggerated control movements under pressure.

RIS-3751-TOM Standard

RIS-3751-TOM links Hand coordination to the 2HAND Two Hand Coordination Test, assessing controlled movement in response to complex stimuli.

Pro Tip to Improve

Focus on smoothness and stability. Small deviations are normal; aggressive correction usually creates bigger errors.
