I finished my assessment earlier and it seemed straight forward but I’m still worried I screwed it up lol, do you know how long they take to get back to us after completing it?

The response rate seems slightly different from the previous year. Last year it was a fast response and I think it was automated. You should hear back in a day or two. Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you, I just received confirmation, moving on to video interview. But will only do it after 17th so I can gain more insight from the Explore Ofcom event. All the best with yours. Are you attending the event as well?

I just received an email confirmation saying I had passed through to the VI. Quite surprised as I did my test last night and I was convinced I’d failed the numerical one!

Have you don’t the VI? I think I’m going to wait until the event on the 17th! Don’t know about you but I found the whole process quite odd with applying through brightnetwork

I haven't completed my test yet. It is odd and it has changed slightly from last year as they didn't have verbal reasoning or Numberical reasoning just the SJT. Brightnetwork will handle your application until you get to the AC. Thats when OFCOM handles the shortlisting.

Ohh I see, this is my first round of applications so it’s all quite new to me! Did you get to the assessment centre last year?

No I didn't. Brightnetwork shortlisted me to OFCOM but OFCOM didn't shortlist me for the AC

I had a question regarding the verbal reasoning test. Was it the one that has true, false and cannot say as the options or was it the style that has True, Probably True, Cannot say, Probably False and False? Thank you in advance
