Here's my timeline.

Sept 23 - Spoke to an HR recruiter at the MOAA Job Fair in DC and handed off my resume. The HR recruiter noted that I had not taken the online test on my resume.

Sept 24 - Emailed my resume and PAQ to Atlas.

Oct 23 - Invited to take the online assessment.

Oct 25 - Took the assessment and passed with an 81. I didn't have the ATP test bank (that would've really helped). The gouge on this thread was pretty decent, except I only had a couple of NAT questions and probably 20% weather with the rest appearing to be ATP style. I also recommend having a separate computer to google questions if you're in a bind and have a pdf copy of the ATP bank to rapidly search questions.

Oct 28 - Received a phone screen for an interview. I opted to not interview due to the timeline. I'm on mil orders for 11 more months and I can't make a class in the timeline they are projecting. The good news for guys who are readily available is they project a quick turn from interview to class (as little as two weeks possibly).

The HR rep was very understanding and gave me her contact so I can re-engage when I'm 2 months from my orders ending and more readily available to get in a class. I was very impressed with the whole process to be honest. Good luck to everyone else, from what I can gather the key to getting noticed is getting an internal rec or going to a job fair.

Emerald does Skype, I thought either Cage or Clark did as well but can't remember.

Let me know how it goes. Skype can kill my internet bill, but Emerald has an interview on Nov 14 I could get to if need be.

I did an interview prep with Clark via two phone calls for a total of about 4 hours. She had a pretty good grasp of the questions asked during the Atlas interview, but moreover, she had good critiques of my responses and answers. I think most all of the popular interview consultants have the gouge and would be of great value.

The email states 100 questions in 60 minutes. Though it states they dont expect you to finish, what is the average number of questions being completed by previous test takers to satiate the grading requirement? Are unanswered questions counted against you? Thanks!

Well I completed the exam with a score of 85 and I answered almost all questions. It also says in the email if you don't know then don't guess. I found it to be a challenging test. I to am not sure if unanswered questions count against you but I know I left several unanswered. My suggestion is to follow the instructions. Sorry I could not shed more light the grading. I would like to know also.
