Hello WSE'ers, from a hopeful future WSE'er.

Applied to ABH this week, breezed through the early stages, now doing all the studying and practising for my exam (if exam is the right word) in about 8 days time. I've downloaded all the materials I can, and even split up the guidelines into separate files for ease of reference (those big PDF files are so slow to load and scroll). Already noticed a much improved score in my last 120 pages from the first 120 I tested with. Practice makes (near) perfect, right?

If anyone has some words of wisdom, I'd love to hear from you via PM (I take the NDA seriously, of course).:beer:

Has anyone else received an audit disagreeing with a PDNL rating?

I just got one and don't understand how it is fair - at the time, the page wasn't loading, so I don't understand why I am penalised for the fact I couldn't give it the correct rating - it didn't load to rate!

Well I just got one too! Wonder if it is the same page? I appealed.

Just checked mine and I don't have the X either. Did a bit of homework and ESC does the same thing (Stop). The X at the top left disables the toolbar so you wouldn't want to press that one

Weird! Have just finished work for the day, and had a page fail to load properly near the end of my last set of 30. When I looked up, surprise surprise, the elusive "X" was there after all! You only see it when a page is actually loading, its the same in Firefox - try it!

So thank you to 271906 after all.

Was put on service level review yesterday. Wasn't worried as it has happened a couple of times and thought I would be retested at the end of the week as normal. A few hours later I was told my contract was terminated. Gutted is not the word. Still in shock. Had some personal problems that must have affected my work last week. Thought I was doing the right thing by just getting on with my work. Wish now I had took a few days off.

Oh no! And can't believe they haven't given you the opportunity to retest, Catwoman. By the way, did you receive the latest email they've sent concerning some kind of problem with this week's quality report? Just wondering whether it may apply to you or not.

Have seen what you mean about the "ESC" key now. Hopefully we may have found a solution to the crashing problem then, although still need to try it out in more situations yet I suppose. And also the large "X" - oops.
