Econ and stats undergrad here. I feel like majority of applicants there are masters so you’d be at an advantage. Did you manage to finish the online test?

I usually suck at these tests and have done poorly in SHL ones before. But I found this one surprisingly okay! I did 22/24 questions I think. How did you find it?

How did you find out your results? Or is that how many questions you completed?

Congratulations - I bet that is such a relief!

I'm not sure when we were expected to find out about this role and what the next stages are should we be successful from the application form and tests?
Did anyone hear back in the end ?
Applied for Trainee Actuary at GAD. Did the assessment centre too. Waiting to hear back. Anybody else in my position?
I know this is an old post, however, can someone give me some tips or updates regarding the Graduate Government actuary job and the online assessment and assessment centre?

Online interview questions were pretty trivial, “when have you had to work as a team?” “One time you have been really proud of your work”, “why do you want to work for GAD?” “Why do you want to be an actuary?” It was the online test that was stupid, you get 1 and a half minutes to answer questions that are quite tedious, not too difficult but they just take too long.
