Let's hope that's right.

Fingers crossed for you.

Congrats, don't worry that's the standard email to say you have passed. Actual job offer will be via phone call and could be a few days or weeks from now.

Once again, well done!

Hi guys, just got in from work and checked my emails, I can't believe it. I have got through to the second stage of the assessments this Friday!. Has anyone else heard anything?
I got to admit I was really nervous all weekend and just feel relief, excited and even more nervous. Final hurdle this Friday. Hope all of you guys has some good news as well.

Louby is right. Best thing is to keep thinking you have got through and keep practising the revision material. After my wobbler on Friday thankfully I have been reading through the material so don't feel too bad now.

Thanks. I need all the luck I can get.
I know not much you can do. But I keep going through the material they have sent trying to familiarise myself as much as I can with all the assessments. I just don't want to be thinking what next!

Also it has some advice on how to practice further. Might not be exact same as assessment conditions but every little helps I think at this stage.

I might try and find some games on my PS3 which might help!

Good luck on Friday gholi06.
Don't worry too much about the tests, they are not nearly as bad as you expect.

With regards the computer tests there isn't much preparation you can do, you will either be able to pass them or not. I get the impression that the current pass mark for these tests is set really low, I haven't heard much evidence of anyone failing these and infact a lad who sat his on the same day as me said he made a total balls up of the 2hand test, the way he described it I kinda had to agree that he had messed up but, he passed too.
I would spend most if not all of your time preparing for the interview.
