Hey there,

My Stage 1 is the same day, but a little later on starting at 11:00 Good luck!

Phil
P.S. I whole heartedly support Crazy Voyager's advice on the tetris and good night's sleep as a good method for preparation.

Best of luck to you too; was tempted by the later slot but I have a looooooong drive back so earlier the finish, the better.

Hi

Hey everyone! Was any of you doing your stage 1 on the 21st of November or after and had their results back yet? Just wondered.

How long did the rest of you guys have to wait. I know they aim for 72 hours but due to the high volume of applicants this can change understanable.

I imagine there is a delay due to it being the weekend and all that. Probably will be emailed on Monday.

Ah Freebird534. I've been looking for different ways to get there (I haven't got a driving licence at the minute). Seems I found this post too late for any carpool opportunities - all Mondays slots are now fully booked.

Best of luck for Monday to you!

I only heard about this place when I was in there and waiting for the test, which is a shame as it seems to have some useful information.

Did anyone else do 11.30 on Wednesday 21st? How did you all find it?

Stage 2

For those of you that have had Stage 2's lately, do you know how long it takes for them to reply roughly? I know it says 15 working days but I'm curious if it'll be any sooner. I sat mine on Friday and am hoping I get to hear back soon

Hey everyone! Hope you are all passing a good time ^^

I have a question.. after the online test, I got an invitation for stage 1.. however, when I click on the link sent to me, I see that there are currently no slots available :P useful I know...

Does this happen occasionally? It says that new slots will be presented soon.. but how soon? If anyone has any idea on this issue, please let me know, I would really appreciate it!

Best of luck to everyone who is applying, or in the testing stages!

@Sorinc03: Sat mine on Friday as well. According to the applicants on this thread it takes a few working days to get your results. And you're correct, according to the NATS FAQ website it can take up to 15 working days. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the next stage in the selection process! I know the tests are already over but I still want to wish you and all other applicants good luck!

Ah - blonde you must be Hayley?! I was sitting right next to you for the second lot of tests!

Well I got through the first lot, I revised n all but there were still some things I was unsure of. But got through.

The next lot were pretty tough. I answered all 50 for the diagrams somehow, but for all I know I got them all wrong. 34/40 for the cubes but I found that very tough indeed.
