For the AS predictions I used my Mock results but for my a levels I used my own predictions.
Now I'm scared I'm gonna be rejected because of that.....

Did everyone that has been invited to the one in London apply there or is everyone going to the same place?

I know the initial excitement turned into stress and anxiety soon as I read what was involved

yup, the struggle is too real :') my excitement was short lived too. Then i saw that it could take up to 4 hours, that makes it worse. I'm glad we don't have to do it completely alone though, it mentioned the possibility of a group activity. :redface:

Hey, you're probably not specifically asking me, but I got 4/5 and 3/5 and got an invitation to the assessment centre a couple of minutes ago. Hope to see some of you there!

yes

how about you?

I did it before, was wondering why you had the assessment centre but it's because you applied to London, which is a bit more competitive but does far more interesting work. Not to mention they got paid more even though everyone got their train tickets paid for and there was basically no difference in cost of living. I got into a non London branch but the work was way less interesting (work with smaller firms, more time commuting and more boring work) than the people who got into London who I talked to. I heard they may also give you a spot in a non-London branch if you fail to meet the requirements of a London branch.

Still not had an email back since the one saying I got through the testing part of the process and that I'd hear back within 5 days. It's been 5 days eek, don't think I've made it in despite getting 4/5 and 5/5 (verbal, numerical). :frown:

You didn’t read the email properly

If it’s a school leaver programme or something, they’ll get back to u within the deadline or within 5 days of the time frame advised in the posting
Where did you apply to?
