    I think they send them out in batches? I got 4332 as well, some people here seem to think there will be no other VIs given out, but last year I got 4443 and got my interview 4 days after everyone. It is equally plausible that they will just not send anything else out though. can I ask what u got?

    Hi guys, I got 4/4 2/4 3/4 3/4 for my arctic shores test, got stressed and kinda messed it up. Will that cause an autoreject from NRF? Am I below the benchmark, and does anyone know what the benchmark is?

    Thanks for this, will email now. Deadline doesn't really make a difference as long as I get it on time I guess but I doubt they will give me a day's notice given they made a mistake. So is it just me with this issue??

    guys, I feel like 750 words for the NRF cover letter WITHOUT including a section dedicated to why law is way too much. without why law now I have around 600 words total(including first and last stenence) and I feel like anything more is pushing it/ they will not read. any advice??
