I was in the 11am group at Birmingham yesterday. The motivation paper, I felt ok about. Nervous to begin with, but the more I answered the questions that I'd revised in the NATS document, the more relaxed I became.
The waiting was the worst part. We were told it would be 20 minutes before we were called back in for our results - it felt like an hour!
Roughly half of the group passed it. It is a ruthless way they do it: the successful candidates get taken next door and the unsuccessful are "invited to leave"...that's the nature of it though, sadly.
The diagramming, I only answered about 35/36, as I also messed up my timings. The cubes, I actually enjoyed - I'd practiced them for ages and felt that they went ok. I answered 37/40.
Just need to wait 3/6 weeks now for the result...hopefully sooner rather than later. Good luck to everyone else also waiting.
Whatever happens, it was a good day and I met some top-notch folk - particularly a certain Edinburgh Ppruner who was in the 3pm group!
