Yep we did, and they better remind us beforehand coz its been so long and have done so many applications that I haven't got a clue what I put down, and I'm sure most of u are in the same boat!

Same here! I am going to give it until the end of the day and then send them an email! Would be good to know if there is anyone that has received an email in the meantime! :smile:

Surely at this point the original date of 5th may for the EAC is not viable, right? Especially, if there is actually some extra test we need to do, which they said we have 7 days to do and still haven't sent it, and if it ends up being an actual test not just the research for the technical report of the EAC.

Has anyone heard back? They really need to set a fixed date for the AC because people who work need to inform their management for time off in advance.

Definitely. Uni finals also coming up so I was relaxed as no clash. Now from the uncertainty, might end up at the same time as an exam which would just cause unnecessary hassle and stress.

Yeah I think it was May - June. On the timeline this year they said that AC will be during the week beginning 5th of May but we haven’t heard anything yet.

This is so confusing. For the technical report it says we should reproduce without notes or anything. Does that mean they're will be proctoring like screen share and camera on?

Very confused as well. To me, it sounds like we have up to 7 days to complete both tests, but links will be sent out starting 1st may so we can start whenever we feel ready. Must be monitoring us somehow as it says no notes tho. Then, after completing those and having booked an interview, we have to present out report - are we just rewording out report into non technical terms PRIOR to the interview then?

It does seem like an awful lot of work that needs to be produced in a pretty short time-span, especially with a great deal of deadlines and exams approaching...

in the candidate pack in the email under the techn. rep. section they mention we have to write the report under exam conditions on the recruitment platform. i am guessing they will require mics and cameras to remain on?
