All you need to do is notify us of this and send us a copy of the results when they are available.

If you have missed the scheduled Placement Test dates we will make arrangements for you to take the exam individually with us at a later date.
That's it! You're done!! The timing of the review process of your file will depend on when your application file is complete.
