I'm torn on what to do. I could stay at my current job for a year and try again, or pursue a role as a controller in the RAF or Navy.
I know I got into the final 4%, which is an achievement in itself, but NATS will not give you any feedback on whether or not they believe you would be good enough in a year etc.
If I haven't passed this time, is it worth trying again?
If you're really sure it's what you want to do and you've been invited back, then go for it. Use the year to build up a little more life experience and then you're in a better position. If you're not 100% then start looking for other jobs/careers, but know you've got it to come back to in a year if you're not happy doing what you're doing at the time
