Thanks AJ. . Noted on the time management, thanks .

As I believe you've inferred with your comment of 'as you read it', that the term midnight is open interpretation, which the UK NPL (National Physics Lab) agrees with by stating that the term 'midnight' is confusing and that 23:59z and 00:01 on a date should be used to avoid such confusion, especially for transport companies. Ironic hey!

Would be interested in anyone with some firm data.

It will be undoubtedly Tuesday night, I’m almost certain. If there’s any doubt though then just do it this evening if you’ve got the time? For what it’s worth it wasn’t anything against your time management at all, more just it only takes something as simple as sitting down tomorrow evening to do it and your laptop packs up or webcam doesn’t work and you’ve got no real opportunity to sort it - that’s all!

Thanks AJ. Not taken as such, but I wont bore you with why I ask

I agree, as does the UK HM Government website, which states that 'midnight' can be reads both ways and introduces confusion and should not be used in any government websites or literature.

I have spoken to Skyborne over the phone and they confirmed that the deadline is 2359hrs on Tuesday night.

If you were invited later then that may be the case. The initial invites that were sent out were all to be completed by tonight.

Interesting, are you sure? I don't see why they would have different deadlines.

From the email:

"The next stage is to complete a comprehensive set of online assessments, including specific aptitude tests, as well as a behavioural and personality questionnaire.​Please complete the tests by no later than midnight on Tuesday 10 October 2023. We are not able to accept any tests completed after this date."

If someone got an invite later then it wouldn’t be fair to give them less time to complete than others, so they may well have a different deadline. I would assume everyone would get five days to complete the tests.

Makes sense, I didn't realise some people got invites later. Does mean I'll have to keep my mouth shut about the assessments until everyone's done them though!

I’ve not seen many people who got them later, just a handful. Would be nice to find out how I did, the waiting part is the worst!

Hey, has anyone explored paid websites to gear up for the assessment day and aptitude tests, especially those targeting FTE Jerez (and also for Skyborne)? I've come across a couple online when searching, and I'm curious if any of you have found them helpful.
