WTF my mark on inductive reasoning was not good enough for Field Fisher Waterhouse....but got my an an AC for herbet smith? Because that makes sense....


I was the opposite, my inductive reasoning test result wasn't good enough for HS but was good enough for FFW. Granted, prior to taking the one at HS I hadn't practiced at all, though before FFW I practiced a fair bit. Still a tough ****ing test though...

Anyways, I hope your other apps are going well and I wish you the best of luck.

Still waiting from Nabarro. I think they only started looking at applications after the deadline so it might take a while.

Any hints/ tips? Be much appreciated :biggrin:


I wouldn't worry too much about it, was very relaxed, just standard competency questions really. Good luck!

If someone who had an interview the same day as you, got like an offer the next day, and I'm still waiting to hear after a week, do you reckon that that means I should just be expecting a rejection and having high hopes still is foolish?? -_-
Hii can i ask where you found some useful practice tests as I'm not confident at inductive reasoning/logical tests so a recommendation would be very much appreciated!

I would suggest it means you are in a "maybe" pile where they are perhaps waiting 'til they have conducted interviews with other candidates before deciding who to award places to. So it could go either way!

I've always found the University of Kent's website useful:

http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/psychotests.htm

It's also usually recommended that you look at the practice tests on the SHL website (if you haven't already) as they produce a lot of the tests that firms actually use:

I second this, plus from my experience the SHL practices are significantly easier than the actual tests, but the one on the Kent website are a bit tougher and closer to the difficulty of the real tests.

oo congratulations!! :smile:

on another note, if you're told to apply for the TC because they were impressed with you but didnt give you a VS, is that something generic they say to every VS applicant?

No idea, but I would think not...just my guess though. Goodluck!

BLP Vac Scheme :smile:
hi... got so many rejections over the past week i'm getting demoralised. does it matter that i'm an intl student and require work visa that's deterring firms from putting me through to the next round? or i'm just not good enough?
