Hello, yes I did. Don’t worry though, I managed to get through to the recruitment team on the phone, and they said they had sent the emails in the wrong order. We should get the email with the link soon hopefully.
Hi there, do you have any problems starting the VRT? They have sent about 5 links in 2 days and all the links didn't work apart from one. And when I signed up using that link, the VRT couldn't start for some reason. The error says the site is unavailable. Do you have the same experience? I have emailed GLP as well...

Hello, yes I received several links too ( I think that they pressed the send button too many times). I haven’t actually started it yet, but I’ve seen that other people have had the same issue. I’m going to try and sign up and I’ll let you know what happens. Although the practice tests on the SHL websites seem to be okay, so I’m thinking it could just be dud links?

I am having the same problem, none of the links to take the test are valid :(
