BlackRock Graduate Program - Numerical test

Hi,

I received an email from BlackRock about an application I made for the Risk & Quantitative Analysis graduate program (part of their portfolio management group). They wanted me to take an online numerical test. I did it today and I think I did 17 right out of 20 (the questions were exactly similar to ones I did in the past for banks, so bad that I forgot the answers).

I haven't received any email after I took the test. I read on other websites that usually you get a feedback the same day, saying wheter you failed or passed.

Do you know how long it takes to get that feedback??? I received another offer and as I have started the process with BlackRock, it will take a long time before I can get to the final round (if I successfully pass all the previous rounds).

Is it possible to call them while I have just taken their exam or is it the best way to get dinged? I'm thinking about accepting the offer I received (from a good brokerage house, nothing exciting) and if I receive an offer from BlackRock, I quit my job.

Any idea?

Congratulations on your offer. Just wondering whether you had heard back in the next several weeks (months). I did the numerical and think I did pretty well but still did not heard back after a month.
