So you're saying that it's an easy peasy process? Nervous bloke here if you have not noticed.
Whereabouts did you have your interview and test?

Sa kabutihang palad, nakakuha naman ako ng 100% at natapos yung exam in under 3 minutes. 45 mins kasi yung allowed. So akala ko mahirap if that much time was needed initially.
Recommendation ko is to take the practice exams first. As much as you can. Kasi natututo ka rin doon sa mga type of questions na lalabas. Then afterwards, read the booklet and familiarise further.
Good luck!

Yung ibang taga Perth ay 1 week lang meron na, may nabasa naman ako June 2018 pa sya nag test ay wala pa daw feedback. Random na random yata ang cases talaga. Sobrang nakakainip.
