If at first you don't succeed, try, try again -So I am.

Those who have re-tried, do you keep the app form the same and just redo the test?

Any news for you debrag?

Hi all,

I've been reading this thread whilst waiting for/completing my application. I've just sent it off, gaargh!

Ever so slightly terrified now... this would make a HUGE difference to my dwindling finances!

Out of interest, does anyone know when you get paid? (Getting ahead of myself now!)

Cheers

I got in!! First attempt!! Am chuffed to bits:beer:

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread, reading through and getting all your tips has, I'm sure, helped me to get in.

Sent my contract off and am now waiting for the next lot of paperwork to come through... email said up to 5 days to receive, may burst if I don't get it soon!!

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

Ps. Do you think I should point out the incorrect semicolon that Romany used in her email to me?!

I was rejected and reapplied, but the test I got was really hard so I didn't send it off. Been looking at it off and on for over a week and still can't come up with sensible answers. I think the problems sometimes might be in trying to get the answers to be accurate I lose the 'fun' aspect. Its very hard to put personality into 140 characters! When putting the source, do people put the actual source eg. the actual website as often I looked at several to confirm the information I had received.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I got my test last night (second one) and I can answer the questions but like you I look to lots of sources to validate my information - I do think its about the "fun" aspect. How do you inject fun into an answer about couples staying together for their kids? :eek:

I sent my 2nd test back to AQA last night in an email in which even the title was spelt incorrectly. :eek: The thing is it hit send accidentally. I have a broken arm currently and typing is a bit of a challenge. I was just getting the content down and intended to sort out the errors and THEN send it.
I re-sent it with a small explanation, however I anticipate another rejection.
