It's honestly annoying how they've already rejected people but haven't informed them. I don't like that firms/companies do this, just send me your silly generic rejection email, it's not like they personalise each email anyway.- ayiiii05

Should I still...- ayiiii05

I think from mid Oct we could hear something as I looked at the thread from last year and saw people mentioning PFOs and ACs from then. I could be wrong and we could hear earlier (praying we do)- ayiiii05

I found the maths tests stupid... I gave up on the test where you had to pick whether the equations were equal or if one was bigger. I just guessed, I didn't even bother looking at the numbers because which human could add up numbers on both sides in 5 seconds???!!!!- ayiiii05
