Plus I won't miss
the idiots who drive in the middle lane of the M11.

I doubt I'll get anywhere as they seem interested on what I got for Maths & English some 32 years ago.
Don't worry about that, it's just part of the process...

What will get you to interview stage is giving extensive examples/answers to the competency based questions they ask, as in 'show where you have done....' on the application form.

I have worked at 3 Universities (back in industry now), and they are (mostly) interested in evidence that you have done the job you are applying for - the application system is a PITA, but once you've done one, you've got it for the future applications.

If you want to drop me a PM, happy to have a chat.
