    No your still in.....you will be scored on the ones you have completed.
    I reckon plenty of people have not completed them in the required time but still pass.

    I honestly thought there would be 1000’s applying for the position.the officer doing the orientation talked about the amount retiring etc.who was he?he presented it very well.

    You may have done better than you think. Besides, they're not looking for a perfect score.

    Can anyone explain how the scoring is done?

    Last calculation test I missed two answers (timed) and passed. This time I think I got two wrong :-/

    Found it frustrating to be giving a calculator unlike the one I had practiced on at home.
    Ie: hitting multiply instead of the plus sign today, because of different positioning.
    Little extra panic added 🀦ðŸ»*♂️

    Iv no idea how the scoring is done,really wanted to know.if you knew what the pass mark was we might not be so nervous.
    I’d the same issue with the calculator.i brought my own but couldn’t use it.

    I was the same. Had brought my own but couldn’t use it. My own much smaller I’m comparison to the one I was given today and buttons not in same place.

    Verbal was okay, I thought I did good, but we all think differently so I’m unsure now.

    Can’t understand what harm using your own calculator could do but suppose they have there rules.
    Just have to wait and see regarding the results,hard to tell because I found the verbal tricky.
