I just got through to the VI. Man alive those tests were something else. Pretty saddening reading that the VI's are the most difficult yet :/. I'll do them within the next day or two because I need to prepare.

I applied for Finance, London!
I got the email that I passed the VI but reading the thread from candidates last year it took a while for them to get assigned AC and some got reassigned to other schemes. I am a little worried.
update: I've been rejected!
Ah shame, it was a tricky VI tbf and it's always luck of the draw whether you can fluke an answer haha
That sucks. I agree with brysonchem VI are tricky, I remember last year I failed all of mine. It's really hard to concentrate at a webcam and not get flustered.

I applied to the internal audit in Edinburgh waiting to hear back about the AC.
What stage are you in your application process?

Completed my VI for the front office division over two weeks ago mate.
Really hope they don't take months to get back about ACs....

I hope so too but it gives me more time to practice the activities of the AC. I failed my Grant Thornton application because of my written case study.

Weirdly I passed the GT case study and now waiting for the experience day. It came by suprise because I had a few spelling/grammatical mistakes and didn't actually answer the questions. All I did was bullet point my analysis for each figure. I didn't even sign it off as an email or address the email to anyone. I feel like the 20 minutes they gave us to complete the task was so difficult that the majority of candidates underperformed.

Congratulations on that. Yeah, the case study was hard, I guess I will find out what I did wrong on my scheduled follow-up call. Hopefully, your VI with Natwest is also good news.

so true, I can definitely plan an essay structured answer and rehearse, but in 2 minutes and the nerves of watching yourself being recorded? nope!
