Trainee and Operational controllers experiences

I would like to know of the experience people have had during the selection tests,interviews,training and working as ATCOs.

I have some questions:
What is particularly hard in the tests?
How are the questions given? On a question sheet and then an answer sheet or a different way?
Which interviews are particularly hard?
When training, do you have to take notes and have folders etc.?
Do you get issued with a license to be a trainee ATCO and does this get sent to you by CAA?

And a completely separate question:
How pressurised is it working at the Swanwick London Centre?

Will be grateful for good answers.
Thanks
Tim
