U got shortlisted in April? Make sure you ask them about your CPL, you dont want to travel all the way to an assessment so that they kick you out cause of a CPL.

Anyway, good luck with that. Maybe they have prepared new interviews in countries closer to yours.

Right....

Got an e-mail at noon confirming that my assessment time is 09:00 in the Park Inn hotel. Then around 40 mins ago I got an identical e-mail with a different time on (13:00).

What's going on?!

Rapha, didn't you reply to them saying you couldn't make it?

Anyway, if you are around London, you could just try dropping in. Show them your dedication! It's not entirely gate-crashing, you did get invited after all.

Q

P.S. I'm still on 'applied'. Might be a liiiittle too late for me. Oh well, good luck to the rest of you!

I've sent them an email back about it, will keep everyone posted about what's going on. Seems to be a fairly widespread problem so hopefully should be fixed soon! In the meantime am going nuts 'Braintraining' on nintendo . Yep, I'm sad...

For those wanting to stay the night before the interview days, I have found some good deals.

A night in the Park Inn @ £54 Bed and Breakfast, that's what I've booked at http://www.lastminutelondon.co.uk

Or, just a 5 minute walk away is the Thistle, 4*, which is just £35 at http://www.lastminute.co.uk Or just £38 with Breakfast as well!

Hope that helps

this was the messege from some already been on one

The exam takes aprox 2 and a half hours, including the intoduction.
I think i did great in most of them, except maybe one of the math ones.
Its not that it was hard, it was quite simple, the thing is that it had the kind of math i used to do back in grade 10 in highschool, and i have not practiced that in like 3 years, i dont think i failed thou. but if we had been given more time i guess i would have been able to remember how it was i used to solve it. by the way , they dont let u use a calculator, so i suggest u practice ur subtractions and divisions on papaer, cus must of us havent done any of those in ages, u know how it is that we get used to using the great calculator.
also practice stuff related to percentages, common fsctors, algebra, angles, and CONVERSIONS! thats the part were i went bad, with the conversions, feet to metres, miles to km, etc.
One thing i forgot to mention is that when they invite u to the assesment , they dont tel u wat u are gonna be assesed on. and many of us mistakenly went there with the idea that we were gona have a face to face interview. it turns out we didnt... no interview for on on the first stage.
Man i ust wished sumone had warned me about all these before i did my assesment hehe.
