Some years ago I very stupidly worked for a short time for a 'high class' corporate recruitment and training company - I used to give out and mark these tests. Lou, there a piece of you know what
Don't stress about it, do you think they would have flown you half away across the world if they didn't think that you could pass the test? It's not about passing it, it's about aptitude. They're just trying to find out more about you, get an angle on you before they offer you a dead cert. They don't want to offer the job to someone that's gonna mess them about and then change their mind and not come anyway. It's a way of getting your measure without the intrusive electrodes Taf mentioned - they go up your arse
Really though, you will be knackered. The jet lag is huge. We slept for a month when we got here. It will knock you for 6. BUT may I suggest trying to see practical things that you will have to live with every day instead of doing the nicey touristy stuff. There'll be plenty of time for that when you're here. Have a good look around Hamilton and check it has everything you are looking for, drive or be driven around some of the suburbs, check out the coffee shops (job for me and WG
), estate agents. That's what we wanted to know when we were making our decision about whether to stay or move on.
A little advice for you, it's still at least 25 degrees in the daytime here. Some days we have intermittent cloud but when the sun comes out it's hot. I'm still in shorts and little strappy tops and so are the kids - they don't suit Charlie but he won't listen! Don't pack April UK stuff coz it's more like a vair vair good few and far between August UK day most of the time. It does get colder at night though, between 8 and 12 degrees so you are gonna want a sweater but you won't need a coat. I haven't worn one since we got here last July!! Good eh
