lol questions are really easy. it takes 12 minutes. theyre mathematics, hardest being 12 x 9=....:S

counting boxes (spatial) and word defiinitions (very very basic).

then personality test from there (which isnt timed) which you can do in parts, nothing at all hard at about that.

Because he found them easier than the guy that found them hard?

Can't really prepare that much for them.

But that same dude said that he didn't finish the last page because he was running out of time.
A lot of psychometric online tests are structured in a way that it's near impossible to finish them. They progressively make the questions harder and harder, to a point where you can't process all of the information quick enough.

So I wouldn't worry if you don't finish. I have run out of time on tests many many times in the last couple of months taking Grad Program online tests.

All you can do is make sure you are fresh and able to concentrate, so that the questions that you do attempt, have the highest possibility of being correct.

the last page was in all seriousness though quite difficult, further exaggerated by the lack of time available. If you time yourself well you can make it, but the counting boxes is what slowed me down.

I'm not sure if you're refering to me or not but I actually completed the questions, it's just that when I clicked 'Review All' there appeared to be unanswered questions, however I emailed the director and she said 'your experience of not answering all the questions have NOT affected your results' - so I think it was just a computer error on my part.

nathan, btw, does that mean that you are not adversely affected by running out time during exam ?

I got in!

But what the fuck, I was like waiting for the letter til ilke 9 PM and slept and when I woke up just then, I had it.

According to the date, it was sent at like 6:30 pm yesterday but how come I got it like today?????

BTW guys, when you confirmed it did you just get some page saying that "Professional Cadetships Australia has been notified of your confirmation"???

Another question: is this happening in the morning??? lol
