Sat Stage 1 yesterday... sailed through the motivational paper answering the ones I got wrong last year right this time.
(same paper and out of date...someone should tell them that there is no RIS RAS and FIS anymore)
Felt I done better on the cubes this year but no gold star I don't think, and I always found the diagramming easy anyway.
However to my surprise they have replaced Basic checking with numerical reasoning... it would have been nice of them to let us all know that before we turned up, I had not done much practice on these sorts of questions and only managed about 3/5th of the questions if even that. It is a bit annoying that something I could easily do last year has been replaced and wasn't informed of the change in any of the e-mails explaining what we would be doing on the day and as none of the documentation has changed from last year I assumed it would be the same this year.
What sort of numerical reasoning questions?
Can you provide examples?
I thought numerical/maths had been scrapped looongg ago - the first posts of the thread here say they had just got rid of it in 2007.
