The practice test is just to give you an insight to how it works. Doing the practice test over and over will likely do more harm than good in my opinion.
The problem with the practice test is that it's the exact same questions in the same order each time you do it. Even the answers don't get...
Well one thing I'm certain of... I think their recruitment timetable as originally posted isn't now just shot to bits, it's been blasted into orbit! :-P
Yeah I noticed after the fact..

That's the problem with e-mail applications..
Email isn't a guaranteed service, despite what most people think... I have this discussion with some particularly needy users on my company network almost daily! Yeah...
Yeah I think everyone's online test was the same (other than one or two who have been given different tests due to a glitch apparently... but the all ended up doing the checking test).
It seems there's now at least 2 people on here that have heard they're through to the next stage..
Either that or looking on the bright side.. those that haven't heard yet are taking longer, as they have to be collated to areas, and allocated a place on an assessment day? :wink:
*apologies to the divine powers that be for tempting fate!
I'm pretty surprised that if one person has already heard back results from the checking test that more people (i.e. everyone who's taken it already) hasn't heard something...
I mean these tests are all online, the results are now a matter of stored data so it would take seconds to filter the...

I think I read there's still a final day of sifting to do today.. so still in there!
Now the question is do you do it again? You might get a better score, you might not... the dilemma :roll:
As for whether I'd have applied if the salary was much lower, then honestly.. yes I would have! When I made my application I actually had no salary expectations or idea of what they were...
Generally speaking I don't think people are getting different tests.. granted, the number of people here on this forum is a small sample.. but it would seem that aside for the very odd exception everyone had to do the 'checking test'.
Why there appears to be the exceptions like yourself, only...
Well I imagine that they're testing for both speed and accuracy. But I would expect there's more weight on accuracy because guessing the answers would have a bigger impact otherwise .
That said in a test of this nature it's quite possible an element of luck could carry you through over and...
Yeah you can take it multiple times, but it becomes slightly self defeating after a few times as memory kicks in as opposed to doing what they're asking.. the answers don't get shuffled..
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
