Barclays test is a bloody joke it just goes on and on and on and on and on. Literally had to get snacks to keep me going after an hour...


Is it basically a SJT?

I'm always suspicious when they say it is untimed. I once did an EY app and did their ridiculously boring SJT over a period of an entire day. I thought I smashed it, but got rejected based solely on that, perhaps they realised I spent 8 hours on it? They probably thought I had reading difficulties or something.
Do you get tests automatically?
Can you apply for summer at Barclays as a final year?

Yes, on the application they ask if you are applying for an internship and are graduating in 2017 or 2018.

What snacks you go for? Anything other than Oreos is a poor choice imo..
