    Agreed, DPER is a good one. Its where a lot of the new policies and whatnot come from so you will learn a lot.

    Is that definitely tests for the open AO panel that took 250 to the assessment stage initially? If so that's fantastic news if they already think they'll need more people!

    Sorry, I meant the aptitude test, the supervised sitting. Been so long since she done the first one.

    If they're calling another tranche of candidates to supervised tests that means everybody that has made the panel so far will have to get an offer before they can move to making offers to tranche 2. I'm open to correction on that point but I'm quite sure that's the case!

    Hmm. Well we had initial aptitude tests at home, followed by a day where we had combined supervised verbal and maths, then a work sim, then an interview and presentation.

    If its the above we can give some advice for sure, however if it is only an aptitude test it may be something a little different.. Apologies if we are dragging this out a tad, but better to be sure before we start giving hints yknow?

    :cool:

    Another day, another wait for updates.

    If memory serves... we haven't heard from anyone in the 90s.. which means we probably wont hear again till the 100s.

    If anyone IS in the 90s, please raise your internet hand.
