I applied 27th Jan, got my terms and conditions email on 25th Feb, so it took quite a while compared to some.

I replied to that virtually immediately so, around a week an a half for the first exam to come through.

I've been slogging through the reading of it for the whole afternoon now, I've left all other work on a back burner (I'm self employed).

My eyes hurt.

Me too, I'm going to print it out tomorrow and have a good read.
Is yours due by 7.00am pdt? If so, what time is that in the UK? I'm thinking maybe 12am sunday night/monday morning?

Wish I'd got a properly working printer, mine's a bit hit and miss so was worried it might miss something important out.

Mine's due back then too, haven't looked up when it is in our time yet, hope to have it done and dusted by Sunday night, if I manage to pass the first one of course.:o

Ive passed, yay !! :j Just had the congratulations email last night and got all the info through this afternoon. Going to have a good read and get sorted out over the next couple of days and then hopefully start at the weekend. V. excited. Had a horrible day yesterday waiting for the email ! I had no idea really how Id done, found on some of the questions it was difficult to choose between a couple of the answers. Quite enjoyed it though, wasnt as bad / boring as I imagined, lol ! Took about an hour to do exam 1 and then about 6 hours to do exam 2 so long weekend but worth it

Just a couple of quick questions for any current / previous raters.

Has anyone set up a seperate bank account for tax purposes ? Is this necessary ? If anyone has, how long does it take to set up a new current account these days ? I think it said in the email I had today that I needed to let them have my bank details within 7 days ? I dont know if thats time to get a new account set up, but I can see the advantages of keeping the income seperate to make the tax return easier ? Any suggestions of accounts / banks with good IBAN transfer rates ?

Also, seen a few posts recently, on here and other forums, about lack of tasks being available at the moment ? On average, how many hours are people getting done and if you're doing less than the 20 max, is that through choice or through lack of tasks ? I know they say they cant guarantee the workload, but I was hoping to be able to do near the max hours every week as I could really do with the cash !

Thanks x
