Maths and English test, really easy (just practice their sample paper) and then an individual interview with around 4 people.

Good luck! I got an unconditional offer for ARU :smile:

Standard interview questions relating to team work, what ODPs about, how will you cope etc.

Forgot to mention, there was a group interview too. ARU are a friendly bunch though. They'll give you drinks and biscuits 😄

There was a group interview AND an individual interview. In the group interview, they looked at how we were communicating etc

There will always be questions about the role and its responsibilities and your motivations. They'll probably ask probing questions about yourself too. It should be ok - the only person who knows you best is you!

The numeracy test - honestly, just practice the sample paper. It's a sample paper for a reasoning you get my gist?

Sorry for the late reply!

Nope! Glad I'm not the only one wondering this! I keep trying to tell myself not to worry as there's still 3 weeks of Feb to go but with each passing day I'm getting more stressed!
