Interesting.
I suppose that the online tests are changed and are somehow similar to FEAST then?

Tell me about it..!
It's been a week today since my S3 day. They did say 30days or so, so i'm in the mindset of it being another couple of weeks before we hear.
It's frustrating as they will clearly know our outcome! And i have been unsuccessful then it'll be tough to wait 30 days before finding that out.... I've put a lot on hold for this recently.

I feel they should be more transparent about timeframes online.
The post Stage 2 email says "You have passed the minimum requirements from the first two stages of the selection process. We will now be assessing your results and invitations to attend the next stage will be sent to those candidates who are closest to meeting our requirements. We have received an overwhelming level of applications and therefore it may take up to six months before you hear from us."
6 months is an awfully long time, as is the fact it seems like it would be well into 2020 by the time you start if you're applying now. A lot can change in that time and its really isn't an ideal situation for a candidate. I'd have applied much earlier had I known this to be the case but thought I could wait until I actually had the time to spare for it.

Hey guys,
Thanks to all those who have posted about stage 3 day and what to expect... I have mine coming up on the 3rd of July....anyone else doing stage 3 on that day too?
Also, does anyone know if the knowledge test is MCQs or essays?
Thanks

Good luck! Make sure to get plenty of rest the night before and be yourself. There are no essays to write on the day haha.

I'm assuming those who've completed their S3 still haven't heard anything either good or bad news?
Still nothing from me, which is fine as it's only day 12 since my assessment. Looking like it really may well be the 30 days they say it would to hear back...!

It's like waiting for water to boil or phone to ring.... Try to concentrate on other things. As Matt said: it's out of our hands now. Relax, think about summer vacay or whatever you have going on in the next month. The e-mail will come, but I honestly don't expect it before July (it's been a week for me since S3)
Good luck to all waiting!

Just took the words out of my mouth haha, I'm trying my best to keep myself distracted and then I get an email like that! Well hopefully it means they're near the end of assessing the 4 group's from June if they're requesting feedback.
