I had the same thing, keep checking your application profile on their careers website and the new test will pop up there first!

Same! Would be very helpful to know if anyone in a similar situation last year was able to progress to the next stage?

Not 100% sure, but I believe you don't need to upload them to the application portal, as you will be required to bring them physically to one of the assessment days.
On the portal it said uploading GCSE certificates is for "cabin crew only".

Last year I completed all questions on the maths and SJT but on the checking test I only completed something like 18 out of 23 questions.

I have no idea how many of those questions I got correct, but it was enough for me to progress to the audio recording activity.

I have a feeling they’ll send out all the emails on the 24th…I don’t believe anyone has been rejected yet so they may just do it all at once, unlike last year (this may be to reflect the changes to the online testing where you now do all tests).

Good Luck, I do have the qualifications required I just ran out of time. I know technical knowledge is important but some of the best flight crew I’ve flown with are so good because of their personable qualities ! So fingers crossed

some people have been rejected already so hopefully those who haven't been emailed yet have gotten through okay!

I have just completed the checking test today, with 3 seconds to spare haha.

Do you think it'll be the same procedure for the audio task where we're automatically progressed, or do you think this is the stage where rejections will be sent out?
Good luck to everyone!

Oh right wow that was quick…did the flight crew you flew with say they’ve already sent emails out…?

I thought it may be the case that they had rejected some but were holding fire on notifying people

I just got my invite to the audio recording activity

[8AVRO5BA]

How long after the checking test is the invite to the PA test this year?

No idea, still nervously waiting!

Did my last exam on the 14th and got the invite today and have just done it. They said early March to know the outcome.

Hi I have completed my Detail checking assessment yesterday. Does anyone know how long I will have to prepare for the PA if I get through to that stage? Also does everyone get through to do the three exams or is there an elimination process per exam. Thanks

Hi all, maths test soon. Is it a general of maths questions? Did the TUI and it was lots of bizarre questions lol

I really struggled with TUI and I ended up with an average in the maths - and even that was a miracle. The BA maths test is really simple but it’s the time pressure which can get to you. So make sure to practice practice practice before hand. It’s WAYYYY easier than TUI that’s for sure.

Yeah I've been on a short haul block all week and 2 of the Captains were in recruitment/onboarding and they both said they've sent some rejection emails out already!

I’ve seen a couple things saying 24th to find out but if there is 2 days per test, surely it won’t be until the 27th before doing the PA, for the latest possible timescale?
