D15 and City University Colour Tests

[Guest]

Hi, I was wondering if any engineers who have taken either the D15 or City University Colour tests could explain to me what's involved in the tests. I've found online versions of the tests but I don't know if these are the same as the ones that are done for the ENG1 medical.

Thanks

You just distinguish darke colours, but its not like red vs yellow more like purpley blue against slightly darker purply blue

One has 5 dots one in the middle then 4 around it u select which dot matchs the centre dot the best

you have a row of colours you line them up fading from one colour to the next there is a certain order you get 2 shots at each

Re: D15 and City University Colour Tests

oh and if you fail them unfortunatly like me you get your lovely restrictions

Re: D15 and City University Colour Tests

Actually, youl get a restriction, because you failed ishihara, so no coloured cables. then failing the city test means more restrictions. but as an engineer, usually doesn't matter. Everythings changing in a few years anyway. As long as you have eyes you should be fine for engineering.

Thanks guys, I think I understand what's involved now.

So which test would you recommend taking, the City r D15 test? You get a choice if you fail the Ishihara between the two, right?

Re: D15 and City University Colour Tests

Yes, you do get a choice. but not every facility has them both. City is the book, 15 is the lining up. both pretty much the same thing. YOU may get a choice, but i doubt it. Don't worry over it though

Ahh, thanks for your answers guys, made it much clearer. One last one though, is eyesight tested via a snellen chart?

Re: D15 and City University Colour Tests

actually failing the 1st one gives u both no look out and no coloured cable work

passing the 2nd one removes ur cable restrictions i fought with it for months

failing the 2nd one means you keep both restrictions like i have

Re: D15 and City University Colour Tests

You can't have both restrictions. I've had lantern, failed that but because im going for engine, i dont get those restrictions. colour cables are standard. But like i say, everythings changing soon. And yes, its a chart for your eyesight.
