ib...
ok well they arnt hard, its just the time limit they give you (not enough time)
A question would be like, If a flight into san francisco is due to take of 11am but is running 3 hours late, what time would it arrive bearing in mind that san francisco in 10 hours ahead of the uk and the flight time is 11 hours.

another would be, if chloe brought duty free consisting of sunglasses, £150, perfume £38, tanning lotion £7 and tobacco £20 then what change would she have from £200?

they are basically all like this. the only thing is because you have to read the question a few times it does take a while to work out the answers.
i hope this helps
toni

another would be, sam went into the duty free shop with £300. she brought 2 bottles of perfume for £45 each bearing in mind if you buy 2 you get £5 off. she then brought some jewellery which was £170 but payed £150 as she had discount. she also brought a handbag being £150. she also really wanted some alcohol which was £22, how much more money would she need to pay for the full amount.

So dont be sad if you have not heard back from them yet. This message above made me think well if that person had there interview after me and they have already heard that they are successful then i must not have been. But thats not the case!!! I start on the 4th December and i cant wait. Good luck to everyone with interviews and well done to everyone who has got the job of their dreams! xx

Hi everyone,

I will be reapplying to Virgin next week, and am counting the days!!

I had an interview back in July, but unfortunately did not make it past the test stage, I was so gutted because they were not hard but I just panicked and ran out of time so got sent home!

Anyway 1 week to go then my 3 months will be up and I can try again.

All advice, tips anything to be honest would be very much appreciated!!!

xx

Hi Lollypop,
Has the waiting time gone down to 3 months now then? That's good if it has because it always use to be 6 months....
Good luck for your next app' anyway!

Hi Peaky, the accessor who sent me home said I could reapply after 3 months as I had not got to the 2-1 stage, if you get to the 2-1 and then you dont get the possiton its 6 months before you can reapply.
