    Never rely on DWP with dates - They hardly ever meet them in my case they havent and has always been the following few days or week(s) later

    Yeah, the dates for mine were the same. I received the email containing the link at 7:30pm last night. Check your junk mail folder. I received 2 emails and one was in my junk mail.

    No it wasn't there either. Hmm..

    Hey samr

    Yeah I did the test last night - 1hr long! I found it alright - bit difficult - 36 questions and you have 6 case studys - got to read the passage with figures in and text n they ask you questions on it - lot of maths involved so you need paper and calculator - Its multiple choice too

    Good luck

    Thanks. I'm off to sign on now :rolleyes: so I'll give it a go when I get back.

    If there's a contact number on your email, could you PM it to me? I think I should ring to find out what's going on before the bank holiday.

    That's true, but the application form was just standard info...name, address etc. Nothing about it was 'test' stuff so I can't see how. But maybe you're right. :confused:

  • Hi All, I had interview for AO 8th march, successful letter 16th march (no mention of a waiting list), disclosure sent back to me on 7th April and phone call 8th April with a start date of 27th April. My problem is...i booked a four day break in june before i had even applied for any jobs and at no point throughout this whole procedure has anyone mentioned holidays to me, admittingly i didnt mention it either however the guy on the telephone said he isn't sure whether they will be able to honour my holiday...arrrrgh..Also, I am still waiting to hear back from several EO interviews and im wondering if i have already started the AO position will i be able to take up EO position if offered? My heads wasted!!!!!
