I last applied in 2023 and failed at the Math test. Completed all the questions but was down to the final second didn't hit the end test button before the timer ended, failed and wasn't asked to do do a 3rd assessment. I assume because A: I answered too many questions wrong or B: Didn't complete the test within the given time. Maybe a mix of both?
Anyway, did anyone else get asked to the 3rd assessment despite feeling they did poorly at the Math test?
You do all three regardless then they assess your C.V and questions. You will hear something by the 24th. You are looking at 1:120 chance going off previous applicant numbers and there being 200 vacancies. I guess you would need to be in the top 5-10% I would hazard a guess although I do not know how many people get processed into phase 2?
Obviously there is a element of skill for this but the vast majority is down to chance. You might get someone who really cannot be bothered to review your C.V or someone who is really enthusiastic. Your C.V might be at the bottom of the pile or it might be at the top. The three tests is more to whittle down the 20+ thousand applications to maybe 1000 which is then whittled down to 250-300ish.
