Bank of England 2019/2020

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had taken the Bank of England video interview yet and if so could offer any tips / info on how similar it will be to last year's?

Thanks! :smile:

Yep - just sending off my application now - no idea how competitive the scheme is or how economics-specific it is. It doesn't seem to be that well advertised but seems like the only route into the Treasury!

I did the test a few weeks back and I'm yet to hear. Either means I've failed or there's a wait lol.

I have. Have you not heard back yet either? My account still says testing under review.

Has anyone heard back after tests yet ??
Last year the results came through a couple of days after the closing of applications. Maybe the same will happen this year too.
Hi all! I finished my tests and was sent a video interview invite straight away. This was last Monday I think!

I wouldn't stress too much - last year it took them much longer before they invited me to do the video interview.

How did you find the tests?
