Congrats!!! Shall I ask when did you apply and when did you complete the test? Tysm!
I haven't heard from them either but it is true that it is application and then straight to AC if successful
Congratulations!! Is this for direct tc?
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and give the test and please could you share what strengths and weakness you got on your feedback report?
Thank you very much and best of luck!!

Harbottle rejection post-interview just received, in case anyone still waiting to hear.
