Don't know whether to submit now or have one last read through tomorrow morning before submitting

Deadline is by 16:00 if you haven't submitted yet!

Did you guys click no for "whole time equivalent" on the last page?

You don't have to click that. You just have to move the specialism you're applying for from the right hand list to the left hand list. I didn't exactly find that page intuitive in terms of how to select it and get it on to the left. But I got there in the end. I didn't use the filters at the top at all.

Everyone that submits an application will progress to the SJT. I'd be surprised if the email came out before applications closed as it's easier to send it to everyone at once.

Got one a bit ago - check your spam folder just in case! Should be from Pearson Vue

I've received a username and password but I don't see anything about when it's due. Does anyone know?

It says on the website that the SJT opens 6am, 24th Feb!

On the SJT email from Pearson it says this: "As this is an online assessment there is no need to register in advance and book the test. Please register at the same time as you intend to complete the SJT assessment." - does this mean I can't try login yet and should wait for the 24th of Feb to try login and change my password? Or should I login and change my password now as the email suggests?

I logged in and changed my password to check this and its fine, so I'd probably get that done before the 24th. They should've made it clearer!!

Does anyone know how the SJT actually works? Do we need to book it on the 24th for a certain date or can we just complete it at any time from the 24th up until a certain deadline? Its my first time applying so I'm a bit confused about how it works

As far as I understand, we don't need to book it ourselves. I'm assuming since the SJT opens at 6am on the 24th and closes 11:59 on the 26th, we can basically complete it anytime in between then, and I think the test would appear automatically on the Pearson Dashboard on the 24th?

To those that have already completed the SJT in previous years, would you recommend doing the test on Google Chrome or should Safari be okay?
