And I'm out.

Knew myself when I finished that I hadn't given it my best shot and could have done a whole lot better, so I'm very disappointed but can't say I'm surprised.

Wish the best of luck to those who have succeeded in progressing from the DART stage.

How do you know top dog. Did they call or email you?

I'd say about 80 - 100. But that's a complete guess.

I had to transfer to a different group during dart. Initially in a group of about 38 over to a group of just 17. And given that there was only a 10am and 2:30pm dart test time for 3 days, we're talking about 200 or less for DART over all. So i'm just guessing maybe it's havled for stage 4.

noahcian

thanks very much

Any word on how many classes there will be?

Someone mentioned 2 earlier in the thread which would be 48 people. Just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this?

noahcian

anyone know what the group work entails?

Thanks for that. Under serious pressure with work.

groundcontrol

Anyone know how many sessions there were?
We could estimate the numbers.
I know there was one at 11.40 yesterday

hashbones

Tried asking that also but she copped onto it.

I estimate about 100 people

Ok I think. Kind of depends what there looking for I suppose. Didn't solve the financial scenario if that's what you mean. How about you

noahcian

i don't think it was important to solve, just see how we could work as a team. we came up with 'a' solution but it was a bit haphazard but we worked together so i hope that counts for something.

groundcontrol

Did anyone do the group assessment any day other than Monday or Tuesday?

noahcian

think it was only 2 days but not 100% on that

leveleye

Surely more than two. Prob only 3 to 4 sittings per day. Very small nos if so
