only done my AC couple days ago. 2/3 role plays I think I done quite well, one of them caught me slightly off guard tbh. How long after it did fast track candidates get an email? And when do u receive an email to say when results will be out and confirmed?

@drum.72 , I got fast tracked and got an email 3 weeks after I sat it. I think I know the roleplay you’re on about aswell. Admission/confession straight away? Ye that threw me aswell.

Fast tracked still don’t have physical results, they come out in August. You’re either informed your in top performing candidates or your told you’re not within it. Best of luck. Everyone ends up in the same place

thank you! No mine was basically a head of resources asking for advice on stats, weird one lol, there was no plan for it either which is weird just had to read stats and write notes on it. But other 2 went quite well and report seemed okay! Not even bothered on fast track or not just hoping for a good merit placement

Had my ac done few days ago 💀

Can’t say it went well

drum.72 · 08-06-2026 11:50PM

why don’t you think it went well?? Don’t beat yourself up too much you might’ve done better than you think

I drank monster energy large can 40 minutes prior to AC starting and it made my heartbeat a bit fast and jittery hands… thus increasing my nervousness during the interview.
I forgot to mention critical points in some of the scenarios which I believe could've been helpful… looking back, I feel I wasn't being coherent during the discussions.
I would always utilize the full 6-7 minutes for role plays whereas other candidates exited earlier I noticed. oh well lets see

drum.72 · 16-06-2026 07:54PM

I noticed a lot of people leaving earlier too! I actually felt like I was rushing every time I looked at the timer because I was actually using up the time a lot. all the best though, let us know when you get word back !!

lozzapalozza · 17-06-2026 07:56PM

Best of luck! I left each one having ran out of time and not really wrapping things up each time. We always overthink it after!!
I wonder is there many more ac days? If 2025 first intake was august i really

Hope 2026 is as soon. Not enjoying work now i have my mind on this

I was under the assumption you were meant to use all the time possible to talk with the actor I didn’t even attempt to end the interviews mid way I’m actually surprised people did that
