    It says on their website that everyone who applies and is eligible for the TC will be sent the test. I think they check everyone’s applications over and those who are eligible will be sent the test so I’m assuming this is what they’re doing now. Hopefully we have the test next week.

    I’m still waiting as well. I’m sure they check the applications first to make sure everyone taking the test is eligible for what they’ve applied to. I could be wrong but I’m sure that’s what grad rec said on a webinar I was on with them. I don’t think it’s a if you get the test they’ve...
