Blanka said it, Sirgerbil. 156484 certainly comes across as " on the money ".

Don't fancy your chances with your observational skills and attention to detail :D

My apologies 156484, I was mistaken!

No need for you to worry about my observational skills and attention to detail though, all psychometric tests passed already Sam!

Not being funny or anything but why would he\she tell u that when they had to figure it out for themselves. It's like giving another competitor the upper hand. And we are all competing for the same job.

No harm helping someone or is it?? No, it's not giving upper hand. For example, me telling everyone that it is Multiple choice.

I don't see anything wrong in it. I will surely tell what the test is like if someone needed to know.

That's why applicants are still waiting for their reply.......:cry:

No, they are waiting to hear because it is not 1st November and they had 15000 applications to process!

I have no problem with people asking about assesments etc some may be more inclined to indulge other like me may not. It is an open forum and entitled to ask the ?

I'm still waiting to hear but I don't want, as I see it, an unfair advantage on people who have already completed the online test.

Exactly my point! But some people treating it as someone will copy or take advantage.... If someone want to share the info, brilliant, as it help applicants who don't know much about these tests. If they didn't want to no one is forcing them.

This is a public domain and people share information like they did about the job.

Good luck everyone

Got the rejection letter this morning, is anyone who got through able to say what the general gist of their cover letter was, for future reference when applying for more posts. Understand if people don't want to share. It may have been down to the cv but any advice welcome.

Just completed the tests. Not overly confident about it, but never mind. I blame being slow on the old mouse.

The tests reminded me of trying to note down signal numbers as you pass them when they've suddenly turned to red on you...not quite sure if that's what they're going for with them though!

I've just received the email for a 20 minute test. Any idea what it involves?

I didn't state a location I said I would re locate to any location
