I want to click true, but its automatically false as have to and try to are not the same... i'm ok with the logic when i have time to read the passage through at my own pace but under time constraints I speed read and I miss all those little key words that make the difference... Feel like the more practice I do the less I want to do the Ist! The sjt still isn't 100% but I can work those better than verbal reasoning... Went to try it this morning and i've just said nope to myself again... maybe go for it in a few days.

The test was quick but actually harder than what I was expecting. I used my watch for timing. Hopefully I'm allowed to say this but my approach was actually different to what I was expecting myself to do; I was thinking that I would read the paragraphs then the questions but instead did it the other way around. I was nervous which was strange because I don't regularly get nervous about things like that. I had a glass of water beside me and a quiet house but still was worried that I would have to go for a nervous pee. The test said completed but I still wish we had the reassurance of an email confirmation.

Honestly it’s difficult to say how I’ve done, I know I got at least one wrong on the VRT as I seen the answer for it on the following question, also as another boardie said it’s hard as you can justify more than one answer on the SJT but it’s out of my hands now. Good luck to those still to do it!

In practice questions I have been doing it both ways, when I read the questions first and skim read for the answer it is def quicker but often I miss a sentence further down that tries to trick you or makes it then be a different answer if that makes sense, where as I pick up more info reading the whole thing and then looking at questions but this slows me down... the joys lol What are we like! Roll on Next month.

I only answer like 5 questions !! the other two sections I smashed!! I was happy enough.. do you think I've a chance of passing

E18 wrote: » Well that is me for sure out of this years campaign. I just know myself I haven't got enough correct to pass, as negative as this sounds i'm just being realistic. Always next year, good luck to everyone still to complete it and I hope you all do very well.

E18 wrote: » Thanks Tom! Aw I can only hope.. I'm a very optimistic, positive person the best of times but I have very little faith in my performance this afternoon, honestly, even afterwards I was thinking I should have selected something else or read the passage again. What will be will be though. But guts telling me I'm out!

All week I've had doubts but I keep telling myself I may have got enough right to just cover a pass. Don't give up hope, we may be surprised!

BlueCop8790 wrote: » No you won’t fail automatically, there will be a set pass mark for everyone to pass, the 3 questions you missed will be just marked as incorrect. Good luck mate!
