As above, applied recently and took the written tests on the 27th Feb.

According to their timetable the Physicals start Monday 17th to the end of the month.

I take it they have to let you know whether you have benn successful or not?

Unfortunatley unsuccessful, I thought I had done well in the tests.

The feedback was rubbish, it didn't actually get to the point.

It also assumed your were of a certain type of person, impressive considering they don't know me.

I still believe its a lottery.

Biggest Irony...... Just passed a compentancy test in the Retained.

Good luck with you application.
