How was it? Did it take long? Was it general numerical tests? And were they timed

Hi guys, has anyone completed the first online assessment? I thought i'd find it fine but actually found it pretty challenging!!

Most of my feedback was "Good potential with room for improvement" - hoping it's enough to pass this stage but not too optimistic ☹️

I have just done mine and got an instant feedback report. First two pillars said room for improvement but the last two (Creative Force and Determination) said showed significant strengths so that seems positive. Applied for GM (back up HR) in Yorkshire area. Hope to hear soon.

Interestingly looking at last years forum people got scores for this feedback for each section so this must have changed
