I imagine that their are a fair few people attempting tests this weekend (myself included), so hopefully Aer Lingus will take that into account in the event the maintenance continues for some time. Personally, I have until tomorrow morning to complete my tests but I'm working from 9 a.m. tomorrow. It's also not favourable to have to do the tests overnight when my body is tired and flagging, so fingers crossed for a quick fix!

Afternoon all,
Just curious, but some people seem to be bashing out all of the tests consecutively in one hit, whereas I've seen others have taken some of the tests, then gone away and returned to finish later on.
Is it actually possible to take the full set of tests over a few sittings? I was under the impression they all had to be done consecutively (taking around 2 hours)?

Just received word that the website will be down until 2pm tomorrow, if this website is anything to go by:
Aer Lingus
@Libertine, you can do the tests whenever you want within 72 hours. There are 10 of them and you can take any of them at any point, you don't have to sit them all at the same time, unless, of course, you want to. I personally, don't.
However, once you've started the test, you HAVE to finish it. Failure to do so will result in the test not being counted and thus you not being eligible for recruitment with AL.
Hope this helps

I have just sended an email to aer lingus asking if it will be possible to still finish my assessment, in case the maintenance work lasts until my dead line. I hope in a positive answer even because it isn't my fault if I am not able to finish my test until my expire date. I will see what they say.

Doubt anyone will be invited to the next stage until everyone has had a chance to complete the assessments. Saw on another forum that the last of the applicants were given 72 hours from yesterday to finish them so hopefully we'll hear something next week. Waiting is a killer

Did anyone crash loads of times on the complex control test? I was doing so well in the practice, yet totally messed up the actual test. Really annoyed with myself

@Keeley, you're not the only one, it happened to me too. AL say they will get back to us if we're successful within 4 weeks, so, it's a long time, may as well live your life not thinking about it. If you get an email, congrats, but, if you're unsuccessful, you won't hear anything from them. They don't have time to inform everyone of the outcome, just the successful applicants.
Hope this helps

I had similar experience on the complex control. I guess it wouldn't be hard to let those unsuccessful know to be fair. Its just a generic email to a list of people who aren't on the successful list...

I crashed about 1 second into the test lol. To top it off, the game was very intermittent which made it almost impossible to complete the task to a high standard. I emailed them but there was nothing they could do. Oh well. Best of luck all.

X) Got emailed the online assessment one the day of closing applications, applied on the 14th of May. Quite a good few tests in there, though I was 30 seconds from finishing the shape orientation exercise then I got pulled out of it saying I had already completed it and got blocked from that task! E-mailed recruitment straight away
