    Hi Dirty Harry....
    Congraulations on passing the written tests. :wink: Like Lindsay is asking. Do you have any tips for us who still have to write :?: I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me...How long did it take for the two tests combined and do you have any study material for the second test :?: I have material to help me study for the first test but not much for the second test. Hopefully talk to you later

    thanks

    I found it to be a pretty easy day. Started off with maybe close to 60 people in the class. After the Analytical test half the class was gone. I found the Analytical test pretty easy, I only put in about 2 days with of studying. I did a lot more studying for the Patti and actually found it more difficult, I know they are totally different tests. I probably went a little slow on the Analytical test, the first time the recruiters gave us how much time was left, they said 17 minutes remaining I was on my 12 th (in no specific order) out of the 18 but I am pretty sure I had them all right at that point. I had my prep there so I left after the second test. The 2 tests take up the morning. Then there is a lunch, then physical in the afternoon.

    The only tips I can give is have a strategy, look through the test quickly and pick out the easiest questions. Do them first. Manage your time, don't rush to much, focus on getting 10 right, not all the questions complete.

    The secod test is very simple. I actually spent more time putting together a portfolio to hand in on the day of the testing. The recruiter said that right now each recruiter has about 60 open files on the go. We should have a recruiter assigned to our file in the next coupe of weeks so don't keep calling she said. If we have not got a letter saying we are not competitive we are still in the process so don't keep calling.

    The people doing the testing are the recruiters. I did not wear a suit, but I did wear business attire. Polished shoes the works. If you are successful at this stage you will most likely be seeing them again so it is good to not start off with them having a bad impression. Some people had jogging pants and shoes on. To each there own. I know I will be wearing no less than a suit from this point forward. You want to be comfortable when you write the test, but also dressed up some IMO.
