    yeah I did Test 3, this morning Mck PST, I thought it was slightly better than the practice one they gave us but I didnt manage my time well enough so only answered about 21/22 questions.

    I don't know what would be enough to get a interview... but I can't expect much now surely?
    I did so badly on the test...it's embarrassing!

    There is a cut off point and I think if you pass you get onto the next stage? I don't know. I'm pretty certain I failed

    can you call HR to ask whether they are still recruiting as your application is still in review? would that be looked upon negatively?

    sick of waiting

    thanks

    There was no way to specify on the application form, but I'm more interested in Market.

    strictly competency based, why jp morgan, why ib risk, mention something that happened on the market that has impact on risks etcs... follow by the first round you will do a numerical test paper based.

    Got the same message from SG : "We will be reviewing your application and confirming the next stages over this week."

    Where did you guys apply to (Paris/ London)? And for which grad?
