Hey thursday, hopefully we do make it this time How far did you get last year? I applied end of 08, made it to the panel interview May last year. Online test was "harder" this time from memory. Also it seems there won't be a one-on-one interview like last time, but more group assessments.

ATC App, you could well be right about why you haven't heard anything yet - they're processing the Melbourne people first.

Hi all,

Have also completed the online testing.

Can we confirm that they are not doing panel interviews this round? Has anyone found any information as to what we can expect at the assesment day? Seems the whole process so far has been different to those who have been through it before?

Cheers

Hey TUF250...., can I assume then that you have had your phone interview? If so, can you tell me when you finished the online test, and when they next contacted you?

Thanks for the reply stupidthursday, I guess I'll just treat it at this stage as "no news is good news". If there's anybody else out there in a similar situation, keep us posted.........

Application & SHL Testing

Hi everyone.

I applied online back in April for a spot on the Melbourne course.

Completed the SHL online testing last Saturday. Thought I went pretty well, but not knowing my results is gnawing at the back of my mind a little.

Haven't received a call as yet. Fingers crossed it's not all over before it's begun. Anyone else still waiting for telephone screening?

I'm going to check out the Melbourne centre in a week or so - can't wait!

Hey guys,

I finished testing on the evening of when it opened and did a phone interview the next day.

I am booked into assessment day on Oct 22. See you there 'Something ATC'!

Anyone know what to expect on the day? They seem to have changed it up to previous years.

Glad to have stumbled in here.

P.S. I just noticed the reply I posted a few days ago is now active. I didn't mean to repeat myself!

Hello everyone

I am currently looking for a second person to share our place/rent with. I live in Taylors Hill and are on course 37 at the academy.

If you're on the November course and want an easy move interstate, (avoiding buying appliances or anything really), please email me!

I can send photos and discuss rent etc.

[email protected]

First in best dressed! Living with someone already on course would also significantly benefit your chances of passing.

Simon

@ Against the odds...

What are you referring to as the 'pattern recognition test' just out of curiosity.
I remember no pattern tests as such from what I completed.

I may have the name wrong - I'm referring to the test where we had to pick the string of numbers or letters that matched the example - I just found it a bit quick. Managed the others in time though.....

Testing Day

The official word on what happens on the test day is:

A group problem solving activity

An individual simulation exercise
A behavioural based interview
An individual presentation exercise
Spatial & diagrammatic reasoning as well as verification of your original online test results

There are only 12 candidates on each day - so if you haven't heard anything yet don't despair. It's only over once they have told you it is

Good luck to everyone on this round.

Dates

AsA confirmed that there will be a Jan, Feb & April for 2011 courses. Just wondering if anyone knows which one would be the Melbourne Enroute. Kinda confused as to why there are three different dates. Thanks!
