HMRC Graduate Tax Specialist Programme 2016

When was the last invited to assessment status? Don't know if they'd have gotten through all 620+ invites in one day??

If I were you, I would apply for the ATSP, as your already a HO. Wait, you need two years experience first in compliance, definitely something you can apply for in the future, if the TSP doesn't work out for you. All the best.

They deffo said they're releasing them in batches on their fb though so try and stay positive! I think most people felt they did really badly on the tests too - I know I did, so you never know!!

I'm scared the batches they mean are the ones who are through, then reserve and unsuccessful

Anyone who didn't make it through, don't worry. A couple of my friends joined last year, one in regional and one in London. One left the scheme after 3 months and another is in the midst of applying to further graduate schemes for Sept 16, as he can't bare to do 3 and a half more years. So clearly it is not for all, despite the generous salary etc.

For those still waiting, don't lose hope just yet. They tend to release results up until 5pm. Also lets not forget they may still be releasing invites but not everyone is on this forum lol. However if your status doesn't change today I wouldn't be optimistic for tomorrow.

My heart has sunk today. It's safe to say the rejections come tomorrow. Mine still says "invited to online test" I wish they would just reject people first. Making us sit another day knowing we're not getting through but not knowing for sure is torture. I hope someone from the team is reading these messages. Congratulations to everyone who has gotten through. Remember to read through last years thread for handy tips. All those who are in my boat I know how frustrating it is, chin up.

Hope you're not feeling too bad.

I'm thinking those whose status is still invited to online test could yet still be put either for AC or reserve list

Just got 'online test completed'. Really gutted but last year i was rejected at numerical test so this time was better .

Im not sure if i will apply again next year just due to my age by the time i qualify.

Anyway, good luck to everyone who got through though :wink:

Mine still hasn't updated at all, has anyone received an email or is it just on the portal?

Mine either. I think their portal is the only thing updated so far.

It seems like all the updates in the last hour or so have all been 'online test completed'. Why cant it just be a no instead of saying we are reviewing it.
