Sorry to hear this. How long did it take you to find out after completing the checking test?

I thought I smashed the checking test out of the park but I just got the rejection email as well... such a shame

Does anyone remember what the final question in the Maths Test was about? Just finished the test and had to guess my last question which was about a Neo and number of passengers. When I went to press next I timed out. I'm hoping that question was the last or at most second last?

So if you skip over one because you think it'd take too much time to answer, you don't think, even if you have time at the end, you can go back to it? I can't believe that's the case. Can anyone else confirm?

I remember it saying at the beginning of the test that you can't go back to questions. They said that was the case for the SJT too but I was able to change one of my answers. I didn't check whether this was the case for the maths test though.

That is the case. They state that with the initial instructions before you start and I agree that it's moot because you won't have the time to go back.

I am waiting to hear back so wondering if no news is good news.

Just completed by checking test and yes, a touch more difficult than last year but I'd got through all the questions or so I thought!!
On the very last one - I'd selected my answer with 5 seconds remaining and no final 'Continue' or 'Submit' button appeared - leaving the test to time out.
I've emailed them explaining which answer I'd picked but couldn't submit. Doubtful it'll help at all - but will be a shame if that's the make or break for me proceeding...

I finished with a couple of minutes to spare and was able to go back and check a couple of answers - I had guessed one that I thought was taking too long so was relieved to be able to go back to it and correct!

In that case the instructions were wrong then and I stand corrected on both accounts. That is some impressive speed. Just to be clear, for which test are you referring to? I was referring to the maths.

Checking test
I'm going to try and avoid giving anything away here but for the checking test (mainly the second half) were people comparing singular rows or the entire table? There was 1 question where everything was in the table but 4 out of the 5 pieces of information was in one row and 1 out of 5 pieces was in a different row so I ended up saying that the singular piece was incorrect (despite it still being in the table). Perhaps I'm being silly but this has absolutely bamboozled me! Although, as I write this out its beginning to dawn on me that I was wrong, we'll see!

Yep for the maths one, I was amazed I had any time but definitely messed one question up so pleased I could go back! It did say in the instructions you couldn’t…

That's impressive!! Well done! I managed 22 out of 25, my fingers went to jelly and I automatically forgot how to use a calculator 😂 thankfully still managed a pass though!

How long after did you find out? I completed the checking test about 3 days ago now and only found out today that my application isn't being progressed further. I'm trying to figure out whether it was to do with the checking test or if it was something to do with my CV / actual application itself being the reason that I haven' gotten through
