Hi, has anyone take the E-Tray exercise yet and heard back. I took mine on Monday and it still says 'Awaiting Results'...

I took mine on the 13th January. They have set automatic pass and fail marks, if you fall in between these marks then you have to wait until they have tested everybody and set the boundary in between pass/fail. They say they should have finished testing everyone mid February.
There is this information and more when you log in though...

hmmm, but how long will it take for them to mark it all - they say within 24 hours, but they would need someone to physically mark the essay questions (assuming you'd got that far) before they could give you a score. So if I took it last Monday, when would be the latest I could be 'Immediately Successful'? Have you heard anything back rachel?

Where did you practice for the E-tray test?

they have a practice one on the fast stream website - other than that, nowhere, couldnt find any other examples. Also worth polishing up your numerical and verbal, as they test that too.

They don't take the essay questions into account yet. They only look at yours answers to those if you get through to the next stage. I would imagine you have not been 'Immediately Successful' or 'Immediately Unsuccessful' if you have not heard from them yet.
I have also not heard yet.
