I think you get five days to do the SJT. They haven’t sent the VI yet, just let us know we’ve moved to that stage.- Veep9

Just the application. I think GR screens your application before they send the WG link.- Veep9

Simmons WVS PFO. Last year I trailed off in the middle of two answers in the VI and made it to AC. This year, I thought I did well but didn’t pass. Honestly, I’m reaching the point where I cannot understand what GR is looking for. I have good relevant experiences, a decent education, follow all...- Veep9

I haven’t written to them. Sorry I thought it was you but it was someone else upthread. One of my skills has changed! I got judgement, attention to detail and confidence this year. Last year, that last one was collaboration. What did you get? I am very nervous that I have somehow become less...- Veep9

I just did it but haven’t got my result yet. What are you doing about the second test? If I try to click on the test link again, it says I have completed the test and won’t let me in any further. Did you get a response from GR?- Veep9

So I’ve done my HSF test and thankfully took a screenshot of my confirmation because I’ve now got an email saying my application has been binned because they haven’t got my test results. I’ve sent them an email but does anyone have a contact number for them? PS: also has this happened to anyone...- Veep9
