    How accurate is jobtestprep's preppacks? Just tried an official practice test for an upcoming Saville assessment and got almost full marks, but absolutely bombed JTP's assessment.

    I'm usually very good with WG so I would presume it was something to do with my application itself - my commercial awareness question was not as strong as I would have liked it to be and something I have improved on in subsequent applications!

    Hi, I did my WG on the 28th of December I think - it could have been the 27th. Rejected on the 3rd January.
