You don‘t find out where you are on the merit list. You have to guess. For example, they told me I did very well on all my testing. I had a good interview, they are recommending me as suitable for training, but that they found weakness in 2 specific areas (they told me what they were)
I‘m guessing that I‘m going to be about a 7 out of 10. Maybe thats wishful thinking, or maybe I‘m selling myself short. I won‘t really know until they call me, or if many many months go by and nothing happens.
I‘m not really worried about it though, the only thing I can do is keep a positive attitude, and keep preparing to get the call tomorrow.
I‘m guessing that not knowing whats going on at the administrative level is something I‘m going to have to get used to if I get in. This is just good practice.
Edit PS. This may sound kind of dumb and obvious, but the key to the grip test is to make sure that you actually have a REALLY GOOD GRIP on the device. It is a slippery little bugger, and if it‘s slipping out of your grip (which is easy to do) then you are cheating yourself out of a good deal of pressure. Plus, get ready for the sensation of it not moving, it feels like you squeeze really hard and nothing happens, which in my case made me feel weak and cost me about 15lbs or kgs whichever its measured in.
My first try I got 50 and after I realised what was going on I got 65.
