Rejected!

Done the test in 16 minutes as well. All 140+ characters with links to information!

One question was to name the 7 premiership teams that have been in the league since it began. I had to abbreviate some of the team names, eg. a.villa , man.u - maybe this is why?

I had the same test, and managed to answer that question with only one abbreviation (Manchester Utd, rather than united)

I'd certainly have another go, although take a little more time.

Yes I think I was a bit to cocky. I've done similar stuff before. I spell-checked and grammar-checked the document twice.

Maybe I should try again and take longer. But they can tell how long the document has been open for.

Doubt they'll let me in now

they can tell how long a document has been open for, how? I mean it's saved on your pc. Do they really go that far?

Has anyone else done test 10?
How did you find it?

Sent mine back but just curious to hear opinions

I had test 10 and I didn't find it too bad at all.....I even enjoyed some of the answers but then I am a self confessed geek

Just hope I get in I have become something of an Inbox bore and I only returned it yesterday afternoon :rolleyes:

No I'm pretty sure not. The time is a VERY small factor in the question answering. And with a normal question on there you get 8-10 mins with an option to extend to another 5 and for hard questions you get 25-30 mins. So they're not expecting you to rush through them.

There are many reasons why the spreadsheet might be open on your computer for a while -e.g. you might take a while reading the instructions, or have to pop for a break in the middle.....

I sent off my application and test yesterday, I felt like the test took forever lol, it added up to 85 minutes!

I am still keen but haven't found out the implications of earning a small amount self employed on the benefits we get.

I wonder if the time spent on the question can go against you. I found most of the questions easy to find answers too so they didn't take long at all.

Mine took me 85 minutes too and I got in. I think its the quality of your answers they are looking for at first rather than the time.

I think I was just over 1 hour.

Right....got my second test through and after reading over my original answers again, I can definitely see where I went wrong and can improve.

Should I leave it a while before I re-apply or is a week's gap long enough?
