The 2013 PMF program is officially accepting applications as of today. Let us know if you are/have submitted your assessment, but please don't discuss the contents of the assessment. Fair warning: I will delete any comments that include substantive information about the assessment. There will be a separate open thread after the application deadline for you to discuss that portion.
Application and on-line assessment are in the same step this year, so keep that in mind as you submit your materials. The PMF Program Office has also released an updated preparation guide to get you started. The deadline for application submission is 19 November. Good luck, everyone!

2012 PMF Online Assessment: Open Thread
According to the PMF Program Office, more than 9000 people applied for the PMF program this year. I haven't seen any official word on how many nominations resulted, nor have I seen any official list (if you've got a link to one, we would all be most appreciative).
Anyway, that presumably means some 9000 of you are or will be taking the online assessment. This is your thread to talk about the assessment, but keep in mind that, since it runs through October 10, 2011, it is probably unwise to reveal any substantive details about what you've found on the test. Once the testing window closes, please feel free to say as much as you want about the contents. They tend to change every year anyway. In the mean time, we would all be very interested to hear if you have taken the test, if you've had particular technical issues, what your thoughts are on the efficacy of the test, and any other assessment chatter you'd care to share.
As a side note: I have never seen the (entire) modern incarnation of this assessment, nor was the assessment offered online when I did take a version of it in 2009, so if you have specific technical or administrative questions, you'll have to rely on each other for answers.
