Well done! How long did your review take? What sort of suggestions did the SR make?

Well done PP

Paul, review doesn't take long probably 10 minutes. In my one he said that I overused the exclamation mark in practically all of my answers which trivialised the answers. Don't use it at all now just in case!

Thanks My review was just well done, off you go, ask if you need help! The comment I had come up a couple of times is to reword the answer slightly differently to how I had done and put the answer as close to the front as possible.

any chance of you lucky folks that got in just passing on some info i.e on your initial test did every answer has 153 characters, average question time etc. Just curious as to where I'm going wrong

My answers ranged from 141-152 characters. My answer times ranged from 3 minutes to 9 minutes; the longer ones were mostly spent trying to rewrite so I could squeeze as much info as possible into 153 characters or less. In total, the test took me 73 minutes, and I gave at least 1 source for every question, even for the silly questions. I also checked and double-checked my spelling, grammar and punctuation.

A friend of mine applied recently and was turned down. He'd missed a word out of one of his answers and I noticed a couple of grammatical errors in his application. I'd assume they're quite strict on that sort of thing.

Hope this is of some use!
