Just wondering as i hear that you have to pass each section of the test at a pass rate of 70% in order to even have the slightest chance ??
I thought I did alright in the tests (13th Mar) but messed up the motivation paper as I did the last night revision thing.. so people going to do S1 test, don't do what I did!
Got the e-mail yesterday evening (18:00) saying I've passed the personality questionnaire.
I'm really really surprised to pass this stage as I've applied for the retail assistant jobs, McDonald's crew, cleaning jobs which some give a personality test in the application process and getting rejected for
every single one of them.
Next hurdle is passing Stage 2, as I don't have much work life examples of the key 'attributes', e.g. working under pressure, etc.
All my job applications so far where I have had an interview (getting a job interview is rare in my case), I've always failed as I wasn't good enough as the other candidates.
Sorry to those whose reading all this negativity, I haven't had much of a career at the age of 26, but am now trying to catch up with my (similarly aged) peers.
