How was it? Going to do the test later today.


Pretty consistent overall. Few questions I hadn't seen in a while which took a bit more reading over. Same type of questions, just make sure you read them carefully and you'll be fine. I completed it with six minutes to spare.

May sound bizarre. But practice looking straight at a wall or fixed point and talking to yourself (i.e. answering a made-up question) so it feels more natural to you. Body language is key with video interviews. Most people fail just on the basis of not looking at the camera and not speaking with conviction.

Oh RBS... This is why u don't apply to RBS. What next? A FIFA tournament to decide the best candidates?

It's a psychometric game apparently...

None for RBS. Might chuck in a cheeky app for Commercial Banking but unlikely.
If anyone else has done the firefly game assessment thing - how many fireflies did you get??
