MaxFever Posted November 7, 2018 Share #156 Posted November 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Sam26 said: Hello everyone. I was there on Sunday 11/4 . Stuck in the train but still was early more then an hour. Came at 12.55 approximately. And was in 80th numbers. I guess everyone came early that day to avoid to be late. I saw the list it was like 150-200 people max on that list . Welcome Sam, Not surprised about the current number of applicants. -Exam #4607 (Established 2 years & 5 months ago) had about 478 applicants that passed. -Exam #5612 (Established 1 year & 6 months ago) had about 677 applicants that passed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took 4607. Within 6 months after the test, they sent me a provisional offer. I declined provisional twice and last November or December I got a permanent offer. I had a good job but if I knew then what I know now, I would have taken the provisional offer the first time. You all will get in, just have patience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh327 Posted November 9, 2018 Share #160 Posted November 9, 2018 For anybody who went to the spa already. Can I bring my cellphone in ? I know it says no electronic devices. That mean they just don’t wanna see it right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam26 Posted November 9, 2018 Share #161 Posted November 9, 2018 Feel free to bring you phone, but after they took you fingerprints and give you a number you will have to give up your phone ( they will keep it on the table with your number). After you passed SPA test, you told them what # you have and will receive you phone back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were actually quite a few ladder questions, more than I expected, but it seemed pretty straightforward. Every picture had a blatant mistake and the questions were easy. Make sure you only give one answer otherwise you won't get credit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serves to make sure you can comprehend English cause communication between you and person you working with will be important especially in cases where you are flagging or his life is sort of in your hands. Also to demonstrate you have safety conscious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguyentom52 Posted November 17, 2018 Share #173 Posted November 17, 2018 What is the impact of not doing well on the SPA exam. I came in on the 11/11 but when i was answered i was simply too nervous when the question was asked. Thinking over the questions again after the exam i would've answered them completely different since it wasn't time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprashad0719 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share #174 Posted November 17, 2018 Same here ,I'm hoping it's just a test to see if you know English 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguyentom52 Posted November 17, 2018 Share #175 Posted November 17, 2018 Also i would like to know how they contact you for the next step after taking the SPA test. Is it by email, mail, or phone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
