My my, I'm in a very nervous state right now. I had the strip management test a couple of days ago and actually found it being quite fun to do. I felt it went pretty good, I managed to detect 7 or 8 local conflicts and was able to fill in all the information that was delivered through my headphones as well as removing and sorting the strips. Here's the thing though - I didn't detect a single opposite conflict! I'm guessing this was the most important task even though they tell us to give all the tasks equal priority.
Does anyone dare to speculate in my chances of passing this part of the test? Test results will be coming later this week and I'm pretty much sitting on needles right now.

killua - That might give me some hope then. Awaiting friday with grave anxiety.
matichk - The tests were very much like I expected them. They resemble most IQ-tests you can find on the internet and the basic principles are pretty much the same. Obviously these test shouldn't be easy, but I think it all comes down to whether or not you have a knack for distinguishing certain shapes and colors, coordinating mental reflexes and also applying arbitrary rule bending - a great part of the tests were focused on this.
Whatever you do, don't start giving up if you find it very difficult and try to relax as much as you can. At one part of the test I ran out of time and left 8 (!) questions unanswered - still I managed to pass the test.
I'm sure you've read about the Ball test. Here is an interesting flash game that should give you a hint of how your multitasking skills are.

I got a score of 350. Although it took 15 tries...practice makes perfect.
By the way, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

You really can't prepare for the tests. Just be relaxed on the day of the tests and have faith in your skills.
So, has anyone from this weeks testing heard from them yet? Ms Prevoo said that the results will be known at the end of this week..

I don't know when they will initiate the next phase 1 testings, but before we took our tests earlier this week they told us that the approved candidates from the current rounds won't start their training until the beginning of next year (2011). It seems somewhat logical (considering the time span between previous testings) that they won't start inviting new candidates until 2-3 months from now. But this is just a wild guess.
