    I am really pi**ed off on this.
    Submit a data protection access request to the agency and to the testing company.

    Not sure what you want to do with the information when you get it, even if you are "right", though. The only outcome of any use is that you'll know that either (a) you are as good as you think you are and the agent lied to you (shock); or (b) you aren't as good as you think you are.

      Amadeus

      I am Michael of Metrorec Ltd and what you’re saying is not the whole picture. If you were not called back for an interview with Amadeus it is because of one of these reasons:

      (1) Amadeus initially agreed to sponsor non-UK-EU citizens visas, then they changed this criteria so if you were one of those applications then this is why you did not get an interview even if you passed their technical test;

      (2) Amadeus' perhaps you did not score highly enough on their test (I don't know your real name but if you tell me I will login and tell you what you really scored), if you scored 13 or 14 from a possible 20 then that would be a pass but not necessarily convincing enough to make the client relocate and initiate long and lengthy visa applications as they could find people of those scores within the UK/EU;
      So, I hope this has cleared some things up for you and for anyone who was felt let down by Amadeus' recruiting process, Amadeus is a great company but no company is going to be spoken about highly of by people who were not hired and who felt let down in some way - but on the other hand if you ask actual employees of this firm (who were hired) then you are going to hear a completely different story.

      I scored 85% according to the agent. In reality, I got all answers correct.

      This wasn't good enough for Metrorec and I never heard from them again; what a surprise!
