Don't forget to apply preparation h, 'cos that's the last thing you wanna be thinking 'bout when you are sitting down for an interview/group exercise.

Sorry, but as an English A2 I don't think I get what you mean . Apply preparation? Would appreciate if you could clarify. Thx.

Perhaps English A2 isn't what it used to be.

Haha. I've never used that stuff, so obviously I didn't even know about it.
What makes me think that... anyway, thanks for the advice.

I applied and did the test very early in October. I only got invited to the AC 2 days in advance... I think they do it in purpose so you don't have that much time to prepare.

I though I didn't do too bad in the AC, but today they told me that I haven't been selected. I'm a bit annoyed... but to be honest they have given me really good feedback for future ACs, and the whole thing was fun.

Ive applied for tech and got my first round assessment. We only do Numeracy Test (again), programming aptitude test then if we pass, an interview for competancies

What do u think? does ubs usually have other assessment centers for FICC?

If you really can't attend, you have nothing to consider. If you are lucky there will be another round, otherwise... oh well, another bank will come (or not).

Whats your circumstance that you cannot attend? There are only a handful of things that would make me miss an AC.

They might either be playing tough and dont want to reschedule, but I would think that they only have a few spots left and therefore if they like a lot of people on the AC then they could fill up.

I did my equities AC 3 weeks back and that was already the 3rd one for 20 spots, so could be that they have already locked in most of the class.
