    Wouldn't worry mate, I got mine 4-days after. You should get it early next week.

    I am sure people can answer this better than I can, but: 1. IMO, a week ahead is more than enough time, especially if you have previously prepared for TIs/VIs/HR interviews. 2. By this stage, you should have your competency and motivational Qs pretty much nailed on. If not, do not panic, just...

    Sorry I cannot provide more detail, out of fairness to the process. It really isn't too much to worry about.

    Be yourself, prepare detailed answers to predictable questions and smile. You will be absolutely fine!

    It's the first AC's on the forum mate, I wouldn't worry. They will send them in batches. Last year, one of my friends heard in March!

    Has anyone heard from SH or PMC post AC/Written task? If yes [successful] what were the timelines on this? The nervous wait is awful.
