Do I still stand a chance with stellar grades but horrible interviews? Brutally honest please..
Would love to know this too 👌🏼 don't worry, if one of your interviews went well you're in a better position than me 😂

Hahaha in my second interview they didn't bother asking the last question (I found out there was an additional one from the other interviewees) so I should be able to confidently say that it was bad hahaha, but yeah as jneill said its one part of your app

Also, interviewees are often bad at judging how well their interview actually went...

I'd say that my second interview was bad, by any standards. This was partly because I listed on my subject topics something that I haven't really studied for (it was due to confusion) and hence I really mucked that part up.
Also they didn't bother asking me extra technical questions as I only found out from another interviewee that they asked an extra question..
Furthermore one of the interviewers actually creeped me out.. it seemed that he was a little socially awkward (that may be my assumption)
Yeah so what would you reckon of my chances if one of my interviews went well and the other went horribly? Thanks a lot appreciate the feedback

Ah interesting. Did you find going over the test was particularly useful? (By test you mean the ENGAA or one you did at interview?

No I mean the test at interview. How difficult was the question they asked you?

i don't know if it was very difficult, just a new scenario and they wanted to know what happen in the imperfect scenario
Is anyone here feeling optimistic for the 12th? I'm not 😂
