Ecstatic26 - just read back a few pages it is all still there. When I was applying I read all of the (relevant) threads on here start to finish and found heaps of great info. As for the medical you can't really prepare for it, it's an assessment of your overall health. Lots of bending, stretching, squatting, poking, prodding, as well as a urine test for drugs, an alcohol test, a hearing test and an eyesight test. My long distance vision is terrible and I was quite worried about it, but they test you without then with your glasses if you have them, and turns out I was fine.
Does anyone know if the 11th April GS ended up going ahead or were they all moved to a 2nd May start? Anyone starting on 2nd May have you got your package in the mail yet? I want to know where we'll be staying etc. Getting close now!
