I just had a reply to my email: “The test has not yet been issued. You will receive notification of the test directly from the test provider.”

Just completed the test, has anyone received a confirmation message via email/ on their portal that explicitly states their test was submitted successfully? Seems like it went through fine, but feels weird not having confirmation for it

Just completed the test and I haven't received any confirmation either. On the Tazio assessment website, it says I've completed 16% of the application process. Is it the same for anyone else?

Yes, but I emailed Tazio and they said it's a known issue. They replied in less than 5 minutes! So your test is through.

I assume the 7th of April since that's when the sift starts. I would be surprised if they didn't say before the sift.

I forgot to put the length of my degree and years I completed it in my application - does anyone know if this will be a big disadvantage if I get through to the sifting process? I included the name of my degree, a list of all my modules, the individual number of credits per module, a brief description of the social research related ones, and a list of all the methods I explored in them. I'm hoping that will be enough if I score well on the knowledge, but can't help feeling a bit disheartened that I've made a big mistake that could result in me having to reapply next year.

I think you will be okay, they are testing how social research heavy your degree is not when you completed it - I don't think they should hold this against you, and they could always ask you to confirm? Maybe email [email protected] to explain the situation though and see if they have any insights

Thanks for your response :smile: I hope so! If my test scores were okay and my application will be sifted, I might drop them an email.
