Now I understand I should have taken this one more competitively, mostly timewise. I haven't 'parrotted' the instructions enough and was not fast enough in my decision making and not followed procedures enough. I am quite devastated to hear this - I write & train procedures and am a communication specialist. They clearly, to me, have failed in conveying the intent of the exercise at the start. I still remember so well how easy I thought this exercise was and how I waited for the sign to move on (it was slow). Now I'm left with: I should have parrotted and speak out loud everything thought...not be efficient and have fun.
But the biggie: I WAS unsuccessful on just the one. How s*t and unexpected.
Haven't visited here for a while, but had to reply to this as this was virtually exactly the same as my feedback. The simulation was where fell down. No real indication of time restraints. I seemed to think it was fairly easy. Followed procedure. Seemed too easy. Surprised that's the area i fell down. Told i went really well in interview and group work and computer work was good as well.
Feedback left me more confused.
More disappointed i had to go to bloody Sydney for the test, when they booked one a month later in my home town of Melbourne!! Cost me a few hundred dollars.
I was willing to drop pay to do this but that's the way it goes.
