    And what did you think of verbal I even found that tricky ? There were two or three questions that I was lost on ! So had to guess

    Id delete this comment if I were you. You definitely can’t tell people what will or possibly could come up on the test, especially when it’s still live. (This was stated to you before you started the exam). You put yourself and us at risk of being disqualified.

    I appreciate it but at the same time, how many people do you think take the exam unaccompanied?

    There is far too little supervision in the test to make it fair, it only records you at the start and end of the test. It’s a bit of a farce.

    When I done it I was recorded , had to scan room and desk with Camera and show my ID.

    But when the test starts they don’t record anything so nothing to stop someone from getting someone else’s help and then make sure you’re on the camera for the last question … not something I did btw but just an observation

    I completed the written assessment this morning and made a mess of it, I completed the first scenario and clicked next to go the next one and it saved my progress and logged me out as if I was complete🤬🤬, so I would say that is me gone for this year.

    It wasn't very well explained

    So do you have to write it as two separate parts ? or do you know can you write it as one whole thing like in the courses ?

    I’m assuming you mean the written exercise? The way your man describe it in the video it was two questions. In paragraphs. I think once you do that , explain why you’re doing blah blah and have the gone over the limit of words you should be fine. ☺️

    Something similar happened to me. I answered the first question and then clicked submit answer by mistake and that was my test finished. I was so upset by it. Only one question answered in the written assessment... because of a mistake. It should say to you are you sure you want to submit. Some warning should be given

    I did the numerical reasoning test just there. Some ridiculous questions in it but I expected that.

    The written assessment was a DISASTER.... I answered the first scenario, counted my sentences etc., and then clicked submit answers by accident... I never saw something to send so quickly in all my life. Written Assessment submitted and only one section answered. Raging... probably end of the line before the line even starts.. 😫😫😫 after all that. Good luck in advance to those who will get to stage 2.

    As per the information for the written test. There is only 1 scenario and 1 box to put your answer, so if you put both answers in there, you’ll be grand.

    unfortunately for the maths there is a require pass mark. I don’t know myself what it is. But yeah I’m pretty sure you have to pass all exams to go to the interview stage. I wish I wasn’t that case as I myself am worried about the maths exam. I’m doing mine this evening

    I’m raging over it I’d say I got half right then after that I didn’t as my mouse wouldn’t move for me not saying I would have gotten those anwsers right I’m just wondering let’s say I got the half of them right would that be enough or that fact that I took well over an hour does that mean I’m gone on that if that makes sense thanks for reply !

    I done a course also but noting prepared me for this what came up it took me over an hour my mouse broke couldn’t get it to move , but anyway the questions some would take you 15 mins alone to work out and the guide time was 15 mins total Einstein couldn’t do it in that time !

    I didn’t find it that bad at all but now I’m second guessing myself… All but 1 of the answers I worked out were an option on the screen so I was fairly confident after doing it. Only took me around 30 minutes.

    This is the fear for me, I'm doing it this evening and my head is melted over it. I just haven't got the head for it and probably will feck it up for me.
