Just got an email after completing the test saying 'Your application is currently under review and we will be in touch after the deadline to advise on the outcome of your application'.

Does that mean I met there benchmark?

How long after taking your test did you hear back? I've just done mine and the wait is going to be tough...

Hi Ailin!! So about 30mins after I got the above email, i received another saying id passed the test. I did the test on Sunday, received first confirmation 9.30am Monday, second one at 10am.

Best of luck.

    Did anyone else have trouble formatting their answers into the box for the app questions? Mine is the exact word count but isn't letting me paste the remainder in.. hm

    Guys I find the HSF application system difficult to navigate. I am worried I've missed the section for GCSEs - can someone confirm they do not require us to note these down on the form?

    Thanks

    In previous years I'm pretty sure they didn't have a GCSEs section. If you have missed it however there'll be a chance for you to review the whole app at the end and you can add it then :)

    Do we have to have submitted our application and the test by the 4th? Or just the application? And are applications reviewed as they come in, or all together after the deadline has passed?

    I would like the answers to these questions as well if anyone can help!

    I do know that applications are non-rolling this year with HSF so they’ll be reviewing after the deadline I think.
