    They seem to be a bit (/very) slow in replying at the moment so I don't think it'll make too much of a difference.

    However, you could try using Open office which does the same as Microsoft Office but for free :)

  • bella, hi

    I think a few people did send their test after the 48 hours, and it wasn't a problem; but that was relying on AQA's discretion. I think a day over isn't that bad - if everything else (ie, the answers) is OK. I'm not sure what would be the "limit", ie taking 5 days to answer naturally seems too long.

    You say you don't have Excel. You can always download OpenOffice. It's a free software that does the same job (http://www.openoffice.org/).

    Hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, just let me know.

    No, you don't need a degree to apply. Just give it a shot.

    Yay! I just got accepted :)

    And I dont have a degree as I am still at Uni, so that doesnt matter.

  • Has anyone who sent their application to Romany heard back yet? I doubt I've got in but I'd like to know one way or the other.

    Yay I heard back from Romany today and I'm in. I sent mine last Friday, but also sent a couple of follow up emails, though I don't know if those made a difference. Yay!

    I sent mine last Thursday and a couple of emails and still not heard, doesn't sound hopefu :(

    Well done to those who got in though.
