    I've had a go at the bourdon test from here and it's not as straight forward as you'd expect. Only just had a go this evening but I'm only getting about 10-11 odd lines and missing the odd one or two at least. I definitely need to practice! Anyone have an idea of what they think from past...

    Have you had much of a chance to look through all the practice material sent via email? All 88 pages! Think I need to lock myself in a room for a few days to digest it all.

    Yeah I was struggling as well. I've had to chop and change a few things to make it there on the date they've asked.

    Thanks for that, I appreciate it! I'm going for Chester. I was expecting a phone interview so now I know, unless Chester does theirs slightly differently of course, that it's straight into the deep end with the DMI. Can I ask if they were questions along the lines of, "tell me a time when...

    Yeah Acorn site mate. Worked my way through the questionnaire, finished with about 25 minutes left and then decided to go back to the first two questions as I had "loads" of time. Proceeded to finish with about 50 seconds left! I'm happy with what I wrote but whether or not that's good enough...

    I've applied for Chester but am yet to hear anything. To be fair, due to the circumstances at present, I'm not expecting anything anytime soon. We can only hope they don't pull the jobs entirely.
