I’m just wondering Silverfield, are you sure she said there were only 5 days of tests in Dublin? If they started on or before the 31st and Corkee has one on 11th Sept that looks more like about 10 days x120 people. Which could be 1200+ in Dublin and Limerick. Then if they have 2 sittings per day it looks even worse.
It’s my first time ever doing anything like this but my sister did a pilot’s one years ago. My understanding is that the first test is quite open i.e. they don’t turn too many away. Then after that it gets harder.
Although it’s still 4134 down to 25 whichever way you cut it !!
