    Oh wow, I'm working on my 6th at the moment. I definitely haven't applied for enough them - already been rejected by 3
    Don't worry i also did 3 others in October/ November for winter vac schemes (in addition to the 8 - now 7 in the pipeline) and was outright rejected from 1 and 2 others i flopped the interview.

    If you're still waiting to hear from HL its probably good news!

    Hi guys,

    I received an email for WGT on Monday which said I needed to complete within 7 days. I have been ill so haven’t taken it yet. I intend to take it this evening but still not feeling my best. Does anyone know if tomorrow will be too late? I’m not sure what days they include / stop on.

    Sorry if this seems like a silly question!

    Hey! I received mine on Monday and am taking it tonight as well, so I'm also hoping it's fine haha! I don't see why it wouldn't be since it is definitely within 7 days :)

    I think they tell you the exact deadline on the application portal (like where you find the test). Hope you feel better soon!!
