Oh it’s definitely possible but remember there are companies that still use paper forms and fax machines. :lol:

I just did a bit of digging and apparently the OPC has 12 members of staff. That’s according to their tax return.

The OPC are a really small team.
You should see the size of their office in Watford - you’d think it’s a massive testing centre but it’s really not. They’ll also be managing other TOCs recruitment as well so it is a slow process due to their insane workload. The majority of their admin/testing emails seem to come from just 1 person as well.

Yeah, I just thought if I could show how small the team is then people might cut them some slack. They’re going as fast as they can.

Can anyone confirm from past experience wether the Group Bourdon is completed on A4 or A5 paper on the actual test?
Last time I did the test it was done on A4 but it wasn't the only test on that page. Probably covered half a page. Could well have changed now though.

Would you say it was A5 sized on an A4 piece of paper?

Tests are A4 sized, but all 5 tests fit on a single sheet of paper. So the paper is like A1 sized.
Did it cover the full page of A4 or only part of it, as in half etc?

Full page I think. Probably like 20 lines of dots. So no way you’re completing them in the 2 mins

Just completed the VSE and M7.

As hard as I remember. I passed the M7 but failed the VSE last time, so fingers crossed.
