Update - Well I did my CFAT with two other people today, going into it I was actually kinda worried about not passing but it turns out I did pretty well and had a full sheet of trades available to me. Now I just have to call back and book my medical (either the 18th or 19th of this month). So far this process is going quite fast, I'm hoping it keeps going that way
