I'd much prefer to keep the white space questions. Writing utter bull**** has so far got me into medicine and an iBSc, so I was fairly hopeful that I could continue the pattern with job applications

Totally off topic but, holy crap this is awesome after ~1.40ish

Two days? Must have been one hell of an op.

Epidurals stay in up to four days.

Seriously? Wow, fail on my part then. I always figured they were on for the op then off (presuming it wasn't incredibly painful).

What were the questions like? Anything like progress testing?

That is a little annoying, i'm assuming that they have yet to decide how results will be assessed and feedback given. I think they are using these trials to develop standardisation and marking.

I wasn't impressed by them. Essentially, each scenario gave 5 options, of which all had to be ranked in order of approriateness. Chosing positions 1 and 5 is fairly easy, but apparently it is the differentiation of the middle three that gets most of the marks. On questioning the pilot lead it also turns out that this setup was designed because it matched well with scores from the white space application system.....

Well so far 1,000 people have completed the pilot. So I am assuming the purpose of the research over then next few years, before its launch will be to test its validity and see if it compare to the white space.
