I’ve done one Cappfinity test today with another to do this week. I guess it’s worth waiting for the feedback report for the first one right before doing the second? Do they tend to arrive the next day?- James Wakefield

Probably fine but I’d check what abbreviation they use (if you can find it through research). For example Trowers & Hamlins seem to be ‘Trowers’ rather than T&H.- James Wakefield
