I was told the same, study after my test. I also waited almost 1 year before I was accepted into phase 2 but I stayed positive and still studied

Forgot to say, I cut out each aspect and glued it to the index card and wrote the aspect and indication on the back

I learnt the aspects first, as many as you can per day. Put them on index cards separating each aspect. There are more than 1 aspect for each signal. After I remembered all the aspects I then learnt the indications. Once all remembered, I studied it every day mixing up my pile of index cards. Each day study what u remembered the days before and continue to add to your pile. If you study every day, you will prevail!

Just want to throw it out there, after I passed the initial and called in for signals and definitions and passed that. I waited almost 10 months to get called for phase 1. Of course I got discouraged and lost faith but continuously stayed positive and hopeful, still reviewed the signals and definitions to stay on top of my game. My point is stay positive, it may not happen right away but just stay on top of your game and your chance will come.

They told me the same and haven't received it yet. I'm sure we'll get it by the end of day. If I don't get it by 3, I'll call to follow up

They'll come back quick. It'll be easier to recall them now than starting from scratch

My interview was end of last April and I go over the s&d's once a week. I also lost hope but you never know so it's better to be fresh.

Curious to know for anyone that has been in candidate pool. How long was the wait before called for phase 1. I ask because I've been in the pool for 6 months now and unfortunately haven't been called to attend the classes. I heard after 1 year i would have to start from scratch again that is if they have another opening. I'm getting discouraged

I got a phone call few weeks after s&d test to schedule the panel interview. That's how I found out I passed. Followed up with hr and got a response that I'm in the candidate pool for phase 1 and will be updated on next class. For those that were in last phase 1, how did it go?

More background that they can't get in touch with. don't think they'd ask for more if I didn't pass interview.

I got very excited the other day because hr called me but unfortunately it wasn't what I was hoping. Yet from what I think is they wouldn't be asking me for more info if I didn't pass the interview. I did ask when might the next phase 1 class begin and the response was maybe towards the end of the year. It's a very long process. Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best!
