Hiya @Amiyrerose 😊

That’s great to hear about your application! Historically, Kennedys has reviewed applications on a non-rolling basis, meaning they usually respond to applicants after the deadline has passed. I haven’t seen any updates suggesting this policy has changed, so it may still be the case.

If you haven’t heard back yet, I’d recommend waiting until the deadline has passed before reaching out to check on the status of your application. Fingers crossed you’ll hear some good news soon! 🤞 Best of luck!

Hi Ram!

Thanks for your reply, the deadline was Friday so maybe I’m being a bit too eager haha! It’s just the anticipation afterwards can be nerve racking.

I’ll be sure to keep my eye out, thank you so much!

Just took the SST 😭 was not expecting the watson glaser style questions at the end, how did you find it?
I thought it was ok! Honestly, hard to say because the SJT types of tests do not have a "right" answer that you can work out (unlike the WG), but I tried give honest responses and tried to think about that situation playing out at my work to help me to come to a realistic answer. The surprise WG at the end was a bit mean but have done quite a lot of WGs this cycle so have already practiced a lot. I tried my best so can only wait and hope now!
