I've just received the invite for the "Listening Accuracy Test".

Anyone else who completed this test already?

yeah as long as you're an English native speaker should be pretty easy.

Several sources confirm rejection emails. Appears the passmark is probably higher than 2025.

Remember folks, take time to prep. Completing the initial tests all in one day doesn't get you a higher score.

Yes. I applied on the 14th. Received the audio interview on the 18th, which I also completed on the 18th. One hour later I received the video interview.

Definitely a lot faster this year. I would recommend people do not rush tests, as rejections are coming out fast.

is there any data from previous years that shows rough % of applicants that make it to this stage?

I believe the recruitment team said on the SPA webinar that in 2025, around 20,000 applied and only
8,000 passed the first three tests

Just received the video interview email, unlike the others it doesn’t have a time limit, does anyone know if it’s 2 days again?

Evening everyone,

I've just done the Video Interview. I did mine on my iPhone as it said before I started this was the compatible method.

I checked my videos at the end however they wouldn't play back, definitely submitted though. Did anyone else experience this? Guessing it's just an iPhone limitation.

It was easier than I thought and anyone worrying will be fine! Just take a breathe and talk slowly and clearly! Best of luck!

Hi all - I've just come across this really helpful video that gives tips on how to pass each stage of this selection process


Hope it helps you all too. I've just got through the listening test too!

Just finished the audio tests, not too difficult, but can recommend to practice.

10 audio files and 1 question per file, can recommend to keep up the pace as total time of 10 minutes can run out quickly!

For all my stages so far I used this package from PASS, it has been excellent, truly spot on:

Anyone else who submitted the checking test on or around the 17/04 not heard anything back? I did it on Friday evening

I've read elsewhere that people have been getting rejections after the checking 24hrs or so after completing it.I haven't heard anything so am wondering if this is good news?
But also read that some people who completed it on the 18th have heard back and are on the next stage now so am finding it hard to tell!

How did everyone find the video interview? I did mine and always feel cringe hearing myself back, i think i did ok on the situational questions but did not do great on the motivation question at all
