Thanks for the support but I'm not applying again. I know I performed better on the tests this time because to be honest, I made a complete mess of the ones I passed in 2021. Like you, due to personal circs i couldn't take the job back then but they urged me to reapply when I'm ready. So I did last week, which is the next time a local vacancy came up.
So this time I really put the effort in because i wanted a strong performance on the tests. Across the three tests that mark you as you go, I barely made a mistake. The Grid Challenge I know I did better on because I was really prepared for it, so all i can think of was i selected a wrong answer on the psychometric questionnaire test. There's no way of preparing for that one or knowing what they're looking for so I'm not putting myself through this disappointment again, it's really not worth it
