To everyone that recently got the dreaded email saying you didn't make it, don't look upon it as failure, look upon it as good experience! Now they've raised the age a bit gives you plenty of time to gain experience, although 12 months is long enough!
I failed on S3 the first time round, admittedly I was un-prepared.. Got accepted the second time round and looking forward to training.
Good luck to everyone who applies or re-applies!
