    I cant find the practice test
    Login to your account and go as directed. You'll have to click the link as if you were to take it, it'll ask your language and country and then you have the option of a practice on the same page as the test.

    "Dear Richard,

    Thank you for participating in a telephone interview for the Lloyds Scholars programme.

    This year, due to the standard and volume of applications, we have set the pass mark very high and unfortunately, based on the answers you gave during the telephone interview, we have decided not to progress your application any further.

    I'm sure this will be disappointing news for you and due to the high volume of applications we are unable to provide feedback on our decision. However, we did enjoy talking to you and to have got to this stage in the application process is a significant achievement on your part. We would also like to stress that this does not prevent you from working for Lloyds Banking Group in the future. Please visit our website www.lloydsbankinggroup.com where you will find further information on other opportunities within our organisation.

    We thank you for the interest you have shown in Lloyds Banking Group and wish you every success in your future career.

    Kind Regards,

    Lloyds Banking Group Universities Programme

    Lloyds Banking Group Universities Programme"

    Ah well. Guess they were on the money... drama students do not make very good bankers

    Their loss I'm sure. At least you got through the Maths test... I'm pretty sure I failed :P
    History was completely unhelpful, shockingly enough.

    Re: Lloyds Scholars Scheme
    Hey, I'm going into my second year at Sheffield and got an email about this - I've been putting it off for a while but I'm definitely going to submit my application today. I have no idea what to write about in my personal statement. Also if there's a maths test I will probably fail, I have quite a serious problem with maths! But I'll give it a try

    Good luck to everyone that's applied, it sounds like a fantastic opportunity

    Good luck everyone

    I've been asked to book a slot for the telephone interview, but every time I check it's blank. Anyone else having this problem?

    What the heck?

    I have never been so sure that I have failed a Maths test in my entire life (that's saying something) and they want a telephone interview? Their score threshold must have been low...

    If you're interested, I did the test on Friday and it's now Tuesday night and I've got the email, so two/three working days (I assume they aren't working weekends..).
