stage one tests
I took my stage one on the 18th march at fareham and i am going crazy now wondering if i have passed or not! I know they say 15 working days, and i am on my 11th working day today. Typically it would have been a bank holiday so take even longer. Should be anytime soon hopefully!

Stage 1
Just got back from my Stage 1 (9:00am, Fareham). Got through to the second half so can't be bad. Eagerly waiting an email now. Not a clue which way it's gonna go like.
Banana81 (Marie): are you one of the others that got through to the second half?

Good to know who i'm talking to.
Aye drive back was good. KFC'd it up 100 at Warwick which set me up nicely for the remaining 200 miles.
Just sucks to be back at work tomorrow.
All the best to you anyways and lemme know if ya get through. Will be on here regularly (hopefully
) now.

Sounds like it went well for the guys above. Stage 1 for me on Friday at Prestwick, bit of an even journey of the two locations from Yorkshire so plumped for Scotland simply so I can visit some family tomorrow and haven't got as bad a journey on the day. Bit nervous about it (surprisingly the maths, which I should be good at being a final year accounting student at uni), hopefully it goes ok. Revising like hell, those cubes are a pain aren't they? It's the short time restriction that gets me a bit flustered.
How difficult is it in reality, I'm mega nervous which is unusual for me.

Medical > Start Date
Wondering if anyone could answer a quick question for me.
I forwarded my medical certificate to Nats, and they received it 2 weeks ago tomorrow (thursday 8th april). They said someone would be in contact shortly to allocate me to the next available course.
Has anyone else had such a delay in contact, the HR team are usually very quick to get through everything?

Medical to College!
Give them a ring. I chased them when I didn't hear after 3 days from receiving the "we'll be in touch" email! I spoke to Nikki Foras and she sorted my place out straight away

Thanks also! I gave it to them last week so I'm going to give them a call today!

stage one tests
Heard i was unsuccesful for stage one, absolutely gutted! I emailed them to see if they could tell me how far off i was and they just said i need to improve on diagramming. But on the day they said they added all the papers together as a percentage so really annoyed !

Sorry to hear that Ginnersam! Yours was the 18th March wasn't it? Just getting a feel for the turn around of the notifications. You going to try again next year?
cheapaschips1000: All the best for tomorrow! Just try and be calm (cliche'd i know) and read documentation. Just like all other tests anywhere, don't dwell on anything you're really stuck on. Move on and hopefully you'll have some time or at least pick up marks further on. A good night's sleep never goes a-miss either Good luck!

About Test Info:
Thanks Banana for all the information on the test practice, has so far done wonders for my studying. Not got my stage 1 tests until the 30th @ Prestwick so still got plenty of time to keep studying.
Any other tips? So far this forum has been excellent.
Now I'm just eagerly awaiting my test
Cheers,
Gaz

Ruben: Most the maths boils down to D/S/T. There's a few examples on the previous page of this topic.
Gaznut: From the sounds of it you don't need any more tips. Been studying and you seem more excited than nervous which is nice. Plus you've got loads of time so just keep at it. Gotta agree with you on this forum's quality too. Spot on

So then. Going to spend the afternoon up the tower at Heathrow today in preparation for my stage 3 next week. I'm as giddy as a kid before Xmas. I'd take pictures but I'd probably get shot!
I'll let you know how it goes and any juicy info later.
