Aptitude testing at different training establishments

Evening,

The only way I'm going to enter flight training is via an airline tagged scheme such as BA FPP, OAA Easyjet MPL, CTC's Monarch Wings, FTE's Flybe scheme etc etc. Just a quick question about the aptitude testing, Oxford use compass, as do CTC and PTC. At each training school when applying for a scheme a year must have passed since last taking the compass test. However, if applying to every scheme at multiple school's then it is likely that you would have taken the compass test a fair few times in 12 months, perhaps gaining an advantage. My question is this: are your compass test results something that only the training school holds or are they stored elsewhere meaning each school will know your results from a previous test at another training school for example. i.e. if I applied for Monarch Wings but failed through CTC, would I be eligible to take the test again the following month for OAA's Easyjet MPL for example, or will my previous result be stored within the software (as the RAF aptitude tests record all your information and the last time you took the tests). Or with each new scheme/FTO is there a fresh start? Has anyone had to declare whether they had taken the compass test in the last 12months for any scheme?

Hope that's clear enough.

Thanks
