Haha good point & they swear you to secrecy about what it entails to not give anyone an advantage! Your message the other day summed it up perfectly. The role play is fun - just be yourself. Interview was easiest. & written task you don't quite have long enough.
It's for sure intense though! But that's the whole point. Best advise - be yourselves.

That’s nice of you ,and I thought of doing the same ,however then I thought I could be giving a candidate I’m competing against an advantage and I thought no way 🤣😂. I went in with no heads up , it’s all in the literature and it’s not as bad as you expect 😊

I really hope not. Now I've de-stressed and am home and reflecting. I've came to the conclusion overall it was the best experience!! If only I could do it again now I know what its actually like and won't be caught off guard! But generally I really enjoyed it. Whether I'm successful or not ill always remember it and have learned so much from it! Although it has made me wanna be a probation officer even more lol. The anticipation of waiting for a decision is gonna kill me🙊

So was I. Nowhere near as bad as you think. Be yourself. You'll be fine honestly. All the information is given to you prior.
Someone made a comment before about the lack of feedback and that's true. You don't get any. Because that's why you wait for a decision afterwards. However you are given clear instructions for each activity so don't worry.
