Dncn1,
My thoughts on the simulation test were pretty much the same as yours, not at all what I expected.
I was told just before I left that I should hear something in four weeks. It's exactly four weeks today, so I'll be mugging the postie every day for the rest of the week. Going by what I've been reading on here and privately though, I'm expecting the worst. If they can let the successful applicants know within a week, why the hell can't they do the same for the rest of us.
Oh well, I've got an interview with BoM next week, so I could still end with a nice view of an airport somewhere, just not from as high up.
