Hello all,
After a lot of consideration and research I decided that a career in the Royal Navy was what I needed in my life, particularly working around the technological marvel that is nuclear submarines.
I attended a careers presentation on Wed 1st May, and after asking the questions I wanted answered, I was still very keen on joining up for Marine Engineering (Submariner). In my excitement; possibly without really thinking it through carefully enough, I booked in my Psychometric recruitment test for Tues 7th May.
Now I'm in a tough spot; I don't have as much time as I would like in order to finish preparing for the Test, Interview, and completing the forms I need to fill out. To add insult to injury, it was revealed to me that Monday is a bank holiday so I will not be able to contact any of the recruitment staff live until Tuesday morning, when I will be expected to attend and sit the test (0945).
Should I:
a) Phone up ASAP and leave a message explaining that I would like to re-arrange the test, with an honest apology since I understand they would not have time to put someone else in the place I would leave vacant.
b) Phone up at 0830 on Tuesday 7th and apologies even more extensively with what at that point can only be considered as an insultingly short notice request.
c) Show up in person early and explain that I would like to reschedule my test to allow myself more practice.
d) Lump the mistake I caused with my keen attitude, show up on the 7th to sit the test, and risk not getting the score I deserve/need.
The last time I took an important exam was 2009, so I'm extremely anxious about this test, I don't think I could kick my frustration if I fell at the first hurdle.
All and any advice is greatly appreciated
