Good luck. Hopefully, you won’t have too long to wait.
I have mine on Wednesday at 10.30am.
In the email they included potential questions, did they do the same for you? If so, did they stick to them?
No way!
No potential questions at all
Just the date and time and the link for the meeting :D

Best of luck to all still either waiting for results or ploughing through the process. I've just been told I've passed, thrilled to bits.

Hi all, first time posting on here! Had my DMI earlier today and found out 2 hours later I have been put into the talent pool. On the email it says that if your not called for a course within 2 years you have to repeat the process all over again!
Does anyone know how often this happens or do they just say this to cover themselves?
Cheers

That helps massively thank you. At least I know what to practice for now. I’ve been practising the dots and dial tests which are readily available with a quick google search. Any other tips/advice on how to practice what to expect without sounding too cheeky. Thanks.
You mentioned on first assessment about completing a questionnaire for MMI? Is this something I can prep for? Am I answering questions which I will be assessed upon ? Thanks.

Well done on passing mate. Where are you in for? I could be wrong but I'd be surprised if we're in the pool for two years now that COVID is lifting.

I have just had this as well - which is concerning me slightly as I am just waiting for a date for my DMI... I replied immediately so fingers crossed for a response.
