Sorry for all the questions but does anyone know if HL send a confirmation after completing the WG? Just did it and I haven’t received anything but just making sure!
No they don't, I finished mine today and didn't receive anything. But I did email them to ask for my score and they replied like an hour and a bit later, so if you want to check if you passed you can.

Also does it seem to anyone else that 18th percentile as a pass for HL is really low?

Yes it is low (if it even is there true 'pass rate')

I saw a post earlier that I was going to reply to saying HL review your app holistically - your WG score with your app. But if you are getting 18 percentile you aren't getting that to that AC lol.

I could be completely wrong Cus I did my WG whilst at gym but I’m pretty sure the norm group is harder for HL. Apparently grad rev said 32/40 will put u at 18th. Also heard of people getting 20-30th last year and getting through
