    The report doesn’t give numbers but the dots can be interpreted e.g. first dot is 1, second dot is 2 etc

    Completely agree. It was too long and I definitely spent more than the recommended 90 minutes on the assessment!

    I didn’t receive it so I emailed them today (on [email protected]) and they sent me the link. The deadline is still the same (2 weeks from last Friday) which is a bit unfair
