Does BAML reject instantly when failing the SJT? Or any way to find out whether you have passed?
Just got a second email from HSBC confirming passed tests but it also says next round is phone interview if selected

They score the questions you answer on the application objectively against a sort of mark scheme and anyone who does not score high enough gets rejected. This is probably what happened.

I think they do this pre tests because some people have received rejections without receiving tests

Nah, they can't. Because I submitted my application at 1am and had the tests by 8am unless HR were pulling an all-nighter? Normally they just check your uni and grades.

Was told by HSBC that I "have not met the required criteria". Got a 2.1, 300 UCAS points etc. so anyone know what this could mean?
What are the chances of getting a summer internship if you don't have spring week experience? Also if I end up applying mid-late October, is that way too late as well?

Nobody knows, but you don't need a spring week to get a summer. Just apply and don't hypothesise about chances.

Did you answer their questions as per the brief or did you write and follow your own script?
