Hey thursday, hopefully we do make it this time:ok: 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

Does anyone know whether they will let us know either way...., even if NOT successful with the online test? I did my online test on Sat morning the 25th, and I still haven't heard dicky-bo? The waiting is painfull...... :ugh:

hello,
I completed the test on monday night and got my phone call today for brisbane acessement centre so i dont think that there is any particular order they are phoning!!!

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?

hey str8shooter, i am pretty sure they will let you know if you will continue or not on the application. they sent me an email last time i wasn't successful.

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!

Hi all,

I finished online testing 26th sep and recieved phone interview 28th sep.

Booked in for Brisbane 22 oct.

Good times.

Glad there is a forum like this, up till now i havent recieved too much information.

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!

Any news?
 

Hi Guys,
I havn't had news either - anyone know if any rejections sent out? I reckon I bombed on the pattern recognition test, but i would be nice to get some feedback. Anyone have any clues?
Cheers

Hello everyone http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif

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.

@ 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.....

Ahh right right...

I thought I missed a section or something for a sec there~!

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 :bored:

Good luck to everyone on this round.

Phone Interviews
 

Got an email today to say I was successful in the online testing and the next telephone interviews are scheduled for December 2010 / January 2011, followed by an Assessment Day in Melbourne at any of a number of dates in 2011.

I got a similar email today! awesome! was kind of waiting by the phone for days not sure of what happens next... so far, good progress... Good luck to every one waiting
new to pp by the way, first post...

Cheers all
Kieran

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!

Congratulations TranceX2!
