I applied for a few positions before getting an interview. I've always completed the first part pretty much the same.
On my first few online attempts at the second part, I was trying to do it as fast as I could. Then I read somewhere on this forum that it was better to be correct than to finish the test with a few wrong answers.
So the next one, I tried to get all answers correct but didn't get to complete all the questions in the allowed time and I got an interview.

Hi, okay that's really helpful I always tend to rush on the second part so I'll approach it differently this time and fingers crossed I'll get some positive feedback, thank you.

I'll second this, I applied 3 times before I got an interview. The one time I was successful I didn't finish all of the aspect checking questions in time, but made sure what I did complete was correct.
