Need Help!! WTF? Morgan Stanley First Online Assessment - Financial Advisor

I uploaded my resume at Morgan Stanley for the financial adviser position. Then was invited by email to take an online assessment. The test was a reasoning test, and resembled an IQ test. It caught me off guard, did ok on a few of the questions but lost confidence with each question. I ran out of time and didn't answer the last 3-4 questions. Seemed like it cut me off early. Pissed me off so I kick my dog.... jk. Anywayz.

I haven't received any email notices after to proceed to the next stage. How long does it take for them to respond? I did the test Dec 27th, so could be holiday break for HR. I don't know, It's now Jan 4th still no response. Did I just knocked out of the game? Do they send a rejection letter? Do people really get rejected on the first test?

I'm holding off sending more applications to other firms because I'm not prepared for these type of mind fuck tests. You guys gotta any resources to study this stuff?

Help me out guys,

-Orion
