If anyone dares enough to write them an email and get a reply from them then please update us also.
I emailed around 2 weeks ago asking for my WG test score and then just asked at the end when we might expect to hear back. Received this as a response: "We are in the process of reviewing applications, you will receive a notification when the status of your application changes."

I messaged them in the end as the wait is uber painful. She said and I quote "we do not go back to candidates all at once, but you should receive an email in the next few weeks that will either invite you to an assessment centre, or to let you know that we will not be progressing your application further. Sorry that we are unable to provide any further info at this time.'
