Did you get an email for the Kira assessment? Was it after submitting your application?

I haven't submitted mine yet, so that's why I am more confused about it haha! The page said we will receive more info about it Feb 2024, but I didn't receive additional info then so not sure how it works..

Hi there! I did GregMat's 2 month recommended study schedule, but stretched it out over the Summer. I found the videos helpful for refreshing the untouched math in the corners of my brain.
