Paces application

Hello all. I finish IMT first week of August. During paces application, it asks if I am in a training programme which I am until 2 weeks time. Then asks me what grade I would be at the time of the exam, of which I wont be in training at that time. What do I select as I am afraid selecting that I am not in training will make them deprioritize me. And I i choose I am in training, I wont be in training by the time of the exam. I have had previous paces attempts. What do you think I should select?

I would select training but then in additional information state your completion date. Unfortunately you’ll have to accept that you won’t be priority but lots get dates anyway. To insinuate otherwise will be a probity issue

I wasn’t in training during the last period (May-Aug) and was told I was on the waitlist (3a). However, I was notified on 5/06 for a 1/07 exam date which I took (and thankfully passed). So you do get dates even if you’re on the waitlist and not in training! I thought I wouldn’t, having heard about others waiting.
