So do you have to wait 2 days after completing each test to get an email for the next one?

I am getting the same problem! Have you reached out to BA or have you found a fix to this? I think their verification just isn't working!

Does the PA test fall under 'Stage 1'? Hearing that you can apply a maximum of 3 times if you get past 'stage 1', and 5 if you don't. Trying to work out how many chances I have left if unsuccessful this year

Guess we will have to have to wait a day or two and start the application again.

Hi all, has BA changed the method they do these speedbird academy applications? For example, regardless of if you did well or not in the prior assessment, you're asked to do the next one?
I last applied in 2023 and failed at the Math test. Completed all the questions but was down to the final second didn't hit the end test button before the timer ended, failed and wasn't asked to do do a 3rd assessment. I assume because A: I answered too many questions wrong or B: Didn't complete the test within the given time. Maybe a mix of both?
Anyway, did anyone else get asked to the 3rd assessment despite feeling they did poorly at the Math test?

Obviously there is a element of skill for this but the vast majority is down to chance. You might get someone who really cannot be bothered to review your C.V or someone who is really enthusiastic. Your C.V might be at the bottom of the pile or it might be at the top. The three tests is more to whittle down the 20+ thousand applications to maybe 1000 which is then whittled down to 250-300ish.

GCSE certifications
I’m at the stage where I need to submit relevant documents, I have the gcse requirements but have had to submit a request for another copy from the exam boards as I don’t have the certificates anymore since they were a while ago. This process can take up to 20 days, are these required during the application stage or can I provide these if I make it to a later stage?

Repeated emails for tests
Has anyone else been sent an email following a test asking you to do the same test again? I'm debating contacting recruitment as I haven't had the next test invite sent through and my application is upto date.
