How did you guys find the game? I found some bits of it hard and I ended up getting 8124. I'm not sure how good of a score this was and I'm interested to see how you all did.

Also, you probably won't hear back from them until February since, after doing the game, I got an email saying that they will confirm whether I go onto the next stage of the application a week after the deadline for the game to be submitted (which is the first of February).

Well done! I didn't receive an email for the video interview so I probably didn't get a video interview - I also completed it on Friday. I didn't realise I did so badly in the game. Did you mean you got a score of 10,000? That seems way more reasonable to get invited for an interview.

No, I literally got 10,000.

No, I literally got 1000 (one thousand points).

That's so weird I thought it was impossible to get 1000 points (there were 2 parts where you got 1000 points just for completing that stage). Anyways, well done and good luck for your interview! When do you need to do it by?

nah not yet, I thought I'd wait on Birmingham before I started but now I'm thinking I might just go ahead and do it. did it take you long to prepare?

Tbh you can't really prepare for the game. I would recommend that you just do the game since there's no harm in doing it earlier than receiving the Birmingham offer.

but there's other tests you need to do though at the same time right? like the numerical and logical reasoning?

There wasn't much logical reasoning and for the maths part you could practice going over GCSE level maths since there is a numerical part at the end (maybe try improving your speed?)
