AQA Query's

I sent my application off on Monday and got my response today....a big fat NO!

I was convinced I did really well this time, but obviously not well enough.

I e-mailed back to ask for some feedback as to what I failed on , does anyone know how likely they are to tell me? As they do state that they don't give individual feedback.

A very sad,

I sent off my first application last night, expecting a no since the website no longer says they are recruiting, but secretly a tiny part of me is still hoping for a yes. Can't believe how hard it is to get into!

Found some of the test questions really difficult too, mainly the one on football!

I know it is hard!!

I struggled with the 2000 election one, but gave it my best shot anyway (and failed! lol ) .

Good Luck, you may be plesantly surprised!!

Oh dear....i got my feedback :eek:

Rowina asked me to contact you as I marked your test.

You failed because of several small punctuation errors (eg, no capital for Roman, extra space in Q11, unnecessary semi-colon and capital F in Q5) and a typo (Konntz) in your test. One or two on their own wouldn’t have been enough to fail you, but as there were at least 6, plus 4 errors including a typo in your application form, and you failed to notice that the information in Q10 was incorrect, I felt your attention to detail just wouldn’t be good enough when working under pressure.

LOL oh well, not the job for me obviously. If i had known they test you on the application form I wouldn't have rushed through it!! Whoops! :rotfl:

Oh that response just terrifies me to be honest! I bet I made more mistakes than that. What info was in question 10 that you failed to notice? Was that the tax question?

I got a big fat NO too!!

Has anyone actually been accepted?? I think I got different questions?
I noticed a spelling mistake on one of my questions - it was an anagram, but the original word was spelt wrong, so I made anagrams of the word that was spelt wrong - if you get what I mean!
I thought that I had done really well!! BOOOO!

Dinah93

Think you must have had a different test, no anagrams on mine just riddles!

lol doesn't it just! Made me feel really thick, even though i'm on a degree course, getting lots of distinction grades! I pm'd you what that question was...I text it to AQA too and even they got it wrong! PMSL! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Dinah93

Even now knowing what the answer should have been, I think its far too tricky even as a trick question!

I got a no too. Think i had the same one as you lyndsey80 but i did the correct spelling for the anagram. Ah well.
