Thank you!
It was about 10 minutes after I submitted, then another email 5 minutes later to confirm my assessment centre time and date. Its the first time I have applied and looking at other comments it seems its unusual to have heard so quickly so I'm not sure how I've been so lucky! Good luck to everyone hopefully will see you all there 😊

That’s amazing! I only submitted mine Thursday but heard you can end up waiting for ages to hear back, hoping I get to an invite to assessment day !

I'm taking the tests tomorrow, how much did people prepare for them, and do you know if a calculator is allowed for the maths?

Thanks.

Reply 55

I just went over basic multiplying and dividing for the numeracy and wasn’t really sure how to prepare for the verbal reasoning but basic logic should be good enough. And yes, it states that a calculator is allowed for the maths section. Good luck!

Done the tests.

Didn't finish verbal or numerical, but answered a fair few.

Found the situation ones so hard, could easily have been any of the choices, really depends on the kind of relationship you have with your colleagues/position you're in.

Reply 57

Yeah, I agree. The situational questions are hard to answer hypothetically.

I didn’t answer all of the questions either, I thinks it’s designed to be almost impossible! Just depends on the quality and not the quantity of your answers
