Hi guys, how did you receive the links for the different tests? I submitted my application yesterday at around 3pm and I still haven't received them (nor a rejection email).
Were the links emailed to you or accessed via the BA application portal?

And now, for those that have completed the checking test, the anxious wait for the next email begins.
I have to say, the tests are incredibly well designed given what BA are looking for. A sign of things to come for those of us lucky enough to make it to the next stages.

Hi, if you lost it you can ask for a statement of results. Which is essentially the same. Just search up you exam boards and they should issue you one. It might take a while, so I'd explain your situation too.

Straight rejection after the judgement test for me! Not sure what went wrong as I normally do well on those tests, and I know I got all the questions with a definite answer correct. Oh well!

Hello all,
I won't be applying for this because of the GCSE requirements, which I don't meet. Before you ask I didn't have the best start in life. I have since then gained a first class engineering degree from a Russel group university, but that isn't acceptable to BA. Before anyone suggests I resit double science, have a word with yourself first.
I assume they've put it in to filter out applications. Which is sensible, given the expected volumes, however I suspect a lot of good candidates will miss out on this opportunity because of that.
Good luck to everyone else in this process. It's an excellent opportunity that will change some life's for the better. Sadly not mine.

I have literally just joined the forum to locate this answer. I am 43 years of age, Police officer of 16 years and currently resitting GCSE Physics and also taking the equivalent exams of Functional Skills level 2 in Maths and English, my English exam being next Friday. This is with a view to have all 3 qualifications completed by this time next year. For most airlines, I believe grade 4 is accepted. However, I have just seen BA only accept grade 5, which is still a PASS at C grade, but the Functional Skills Level 2 highest grade achievable is 4. Do you think there would be any movement at all in that, given my life experience or for example if I applied to BA I would have to resit the highest paper? 
Thanks
Thanks

It's all a lottery, a quick and easy way to cut the number of applicants - all the graduate schemes work in a similar way, I wouldn't get downhearted as you'll know from your ppl that you have the ability to fly a plane with confidence and that's what really matters.
