Natwest Situational Judgement test

FFS, spent two days doing this bs situational judgement test and they rejected me. I hate you Natwest a) for making me waste my time and b) for using such a bs test to judge my suitability for a job. Why not pick up the phone and talk to me. Idiots! :colonhash:

I'm NEVER applying to Natwest again. CBA with their silly little tests. Avoid Natwest guys! :h:

I feel you my dude!
Same but with a PwC one where you had to do a random task but between each task it shows you a series of white dots and one flashed purple, the dot changed after each task and then at the end you had to recall 5+ sequence of purple dots
impossible lol
If firms want to hire based on short term memory recall, cool. Personally I think having skills for the job is more important :dontknow:

I guess they have to weed out candidates somehow :rolleyes:

Not fun!
Don't worry, there will be other opportunities :heart:

Keep your head up high + don't give up!

Best wishes,
Cheese

P.S I put your thread into the finance and accountancy jobs forum :yy:

Hi, just in case you're still writing this article, I'm about to do this test for the second time after being rejected last year without being informed why... I don't have high hopes but maybe this time I will pass? Send me a DM if you want to discuss

I have the same result as yours. I was very shocked that it showed the result immediately after I completed the test. It looks like I spent half a hour but unfortunately I was a fool and did't deserve this job.

I did several test for other companies and it seems the test result would be sent to HR and examined maually. idk, I just feel unrespected. Won't apply it again.
