Hi! I applied to A&O First and completed my SJT yesterday. I wanted to know how much time they take to let us know if we have passed the sjt or not? Because I did the SJT for HSF yesterday too (after A&O's actually) and have already heard back from them.

Edit: nevermind I just got rejected 🤣
Hey is the SJT automatic for A&O first and does A&O first take on rolling basis?
