***Official Investment Banking Spring Week 2016 Thread***

Guys I'm new to this and just saw a post of somebody who sat the tests for credit Suisse already and was wondering do we only do the tests once we have submitted our applications?

Thanks

I transfered my degree from physics to economics since i enjoy economics and warwick are incredibly good for economics plus it isnt as hard as physics 😅 but i was wondering would that put me at a disadvantage if im applying for S&T places since economics isnt as mathematical as physics?

No, unless you really want to do quant stuff. Even still, I met a girl who did econ on a structured derivs desk once, which is quite a quant desk. For most desks, it matters not.

Aright makes sense for sales and trading economics would be fine and im assuming economics at warwick is very maths heavy which is what people have been telling me

Just look at the modules man, they should give you a general gist on the ratio of Mathsssays. Generally speaking, Econ at the top unis is quite maths heavy.

You're lucky to be at Warwick, they're absolutely killing it with banking numbers right now.

Hey guys, I legitimately just found out about Spring Week today, and wanted to ask you guys if anyone knows when it will actually occur if we get in? Early January or March-April? Thanks!

For the psychometric tests, do they take into account how fast you do it? Or just the % of questions you get it right?

They do. Accuracy + speed.

They can't really quantify it tbh.... someone who gets 95% in 20 minutes will always be favoured over someone that got 90% in 15 minutes. They always look at the overall mark first, and then if people have same/similar marks, then they take it into account.

Though to be honest, they don't look at online tests as a way of determining if you are suitable for the internship, it's just to ensure that you meet the minimum required standard.
