It’s unlocked for some people. I got pretty much the average on SJT and the Work style and higher than average on the Numerical and have not unlocked the WBS. So l assume it’s a wrap for me

I did and completed the online tests, feedback very good on maths, OKish with judgement test and workstyle. Now I guess it is all about how good most people score.

I spoke to recruitment due to the amount of people applying sometimes it delays in releasing the results.

Is anyone still waiting for their work based scenarios section to open? I got 'mostly aligned' for my work style, 'above average' for situational, and 'better than majority' for numerical and I'm worried my work style result has ended it all for me already :frown:

Just make sure you read the background info really well, and also understand what your role(s) is within the scenario.
It's not too dissimilar to what you've already done in the first stage, just more in depth.

Has anyone had/answered their additional questions yet? I know not all the schemes have them, but how did those of you on the ones that do have additional questions find them? I'm finding the word limit quite tough 🤔

Has anyone done the assessment centre or know much about how we can best prepare for it? I'm going for the science and engineering stream but I'm assuming the assessment centre is the same for everyone??
