    I did my CAPP assessment 5 days ago (on the 10th) so I was preparing to do the WG today, but my application portal is saying I have until the 20th to do it?

    Anybody else have this happen to them?

    I would definitely advise you to do the test within the original time stated in the email you received for your invite to be safe!

    Do we know how long until they let you know whether you're through to next stage. I did my WG test before 10th Dec but have not heard anything since :(
    Hey, Links are still doing their Winter Vacation Scheme at the moment, so you might not hear back until after Christmas since they recruit on a non-rolling basis. For a point of reference, I received an AC offer 2 weeks after the deadline closed, and then was given a week to prepare for that AC. I hope this helps!
