Do you mind telling me what sort of questions did they ask you?
Is it for CitiQuest or Scope?

It was actually for the women programme

It seems that they process the women's programme much faster than the others.
Also congratulations on getting it.

If JP Morgan is not on a rolling-basis, does that mean they collectively review all apps after the deadline?

For those who heard back - is it for the Inside the Industry: IBD and Risk?

I applied for IB and Risk and still haven't heard back yet

If you applied in early November why did you only take the numericals on the 10th of December?

Guys does anyone here have any insight into the barclays application process? I am specifically talking about their questionnaire and situational judgement. anyone have any idea how much emphasis they put on these 2 tests?

Monk.

I believe they put quite a bit of thought in to these 2 tests because they are different from any other bank. It is long first of all and they are tailored towards their bank specifically giving you scenarios and stuff like that so put in your best and honest answers in to those tests.

Because they took forever (about three weeks to send me an email telling me:

'Thank you for your application for the 1st Year Programme [Business Area] London .

We've reviewed your details against what we're looking for and would like you to complete a numerical reasoning test"

that i got on the 5th, test done on the 10th, then they emailed me saying I passed, and then I got a call to tell me that they wanted to interview me.

That's quite unusual. I got the test invite day after I submitted my application.

Is it normal to still not have received the Citi numerical even though I applied in October?
