So does this mean everyone will get a PST after submission? I've been waiting for 2.5 months and I had my app reviewed so I'm suspecting there's still something I'm missing on my application. Only thing I could think of is that my addresses are outside the U.S. and I currently work for a non-us 121 equivalent operation.
And I submitted with Chrome on a PC with a clean cookies and browser history.

Pay for an app review. You can't afford to sit and hope for something to happen.

Sorry if this has been asked, but with the new site is there a place to update hours etc? Done the pst. When I log in to update it only lets me update my profile-like address and start date but I’m not seeing where to update hours. Also on the link they give you to check status, nothing is there except it says I’ve applied for one job and it’s in process. No resume, no attachments, nothing….

I just took it yesterday and got the interview call this morning, so I probably didn't completely botch up the test. I had the same experience as you: metric system equations, cylinder areas, right triangle areas, and what-not. And yes, the automobile test and duplicate number test. The auto one was kinda fun in a weird way.

The 'fly through the hoops' game was nearly identical to the free ones online, but easier. I practiced Sudoku for a bit before taking the test, but there wasn't any actual Sudoku; there was pattern recognition that looked like Sudoku, which started out easy and became quite difficult, which I'm sure is intentional.

A bunch of math problems that weren't difficult at all. If you passed high school algebra you'll have no issues. The "memorize which icons are in which squares" was really tough, but I followed the advice of one poster on here who suggested to just focus on the top row so you'll definitely get those 4 right.

I probably performed average or below-average on the PST, but they called me anyways, so if you're about to take it, don't stress. Just do your best. Do not try it on an iPad, as others have mentioned. Ideally you want to have at least a laptop or a desktop computer and a mouse you're quite comfortable with. And a quiet place with no distractions. Do not attempt to take it on your phone while on the hotel van

if you use a phone or iPad their system doesn’t work. Has to be a computer.

How bad do you have to F-up the PST to not get a call? Asking for a friend…

All seriousness, I “thought” I did pretty well on most of the tests, but haven’t heard anything in 2 weeks.

Everyone that fills out at least a certain percentage of the application gets invited to the PST. It is likely not the reason that you aren't getting a call. Make sure to double/triple check your application for and errors and keep updating it.

Besides filling out the application, is there a trigger to get the PST?

Is there a time limit from email receipt to completion of the PST?
Received the email link yesterday and would prefer to take a couple days to sharpen up before attempting.
Thanks!

How many hours are you at? I filled out my app and took the PST 3-4 months ago and received no interview invite yet. I’m only at about 1700 hours and am hoping that’s the reason I haven’t gotten the call yet.
