EY Scholarship 2015

Hi, noticed that there wasn't a thread for this so thought I would start one

I've just been accepted on to the next stage of the application process for the EY Scholarship which is the assessment centre and I was wondering if anyone with experience/someone who knows a little more could give me some more info as to what actually happens at this stage and how to best prepare for it?

Thanks

Hey mate,

I've also applied. I can't believe they're going to confirm which date I'll be on this Thursday, when the AC will either be this Friday 24th Oct or on Mon 3rd Nov. If my AC is on the next day that's a bit crazy. Really bad organisation on their part aha.

Do you know exactly what the AC will consist of? Case Study, Group Exercise, and Partner Interview?

How do you know its thursday? All they told me was sometime this week.
Yh those three things and then theres a repeat of the psychometric tests as well- I think it goes in the order of group exercise, individual tests and then interview. How are you preparing?

There's no fixed order I think. You'll have an individual timetable and you'll have to manage your own time.
(that's the norm anyway)

Ah ok thanks. How are you preparing? Any other tips

I'm second year and applying for an industrial placement with them. Got my interview in two weeks. Have you looked on wiki jobs?

I emailed them back asking when I'll get a reply and they said it's by this Thursday. Haven't really prepared yet considering I got the confirmation a couple of days ago.

Crap just assumed since they hadn't emailed be by 5pm today mine would be on 3rd November- that's really bad planning on their part and doesn't give us enough time to prepare at all? Do you know what's going to come up in the partner interview? I know there's guides and stuff online but I don't know if it's slightly different for us because everyone else who gets to partner interview stage has already had an interview whereas this is our first and only interview so might cover a wider range of areas?

Exactly, I don't know how they'll choose who'll be assigned to each assessment centre. I thought we'd get told much earlier so I mentioned that I'd prefer the earlier date aha.
Yeah, I assume it would be somewhat different at our stage, so I guess we'll have to be a bit cautious. I'm thinking the application structure may have changed as well this year, maybe there was a first interview for Scholar's before, and now they've taken that out.

Have you been told when yours is yet? You're in Birmingham right, so don't you have to arrange travel/accommodation in advance or do they do that for you?

Got the email a bit of time ago, mine is tomorrow No time to prepare aha, and if I am to accept their accommodation, I'll have to travel out there tonight. I'll have to sort out my own travel though in that case. This is so loong, and leaves no room for prep.I guess it'll test my ability to prepare for an AC in a day though aha.

They haven't told me yet I'm getting really pissed now. Do you think they're doing it on purpose so that we are unprepared- it's hard to believe such a big company could be so inefficient

This is for Year 13 Students right? So students who start university in September / October 2015 ?

Yes that's right have you applied?
