Anyone know the requirements to get put forward to an AC?

Is it solely based on the VI, they rank each of your questions from 1-5 and then the top percentile get shortlisted/CV reviewed etc

Not 100% sure but I would assume all of the assessments (SJQ, personality test/numerical reasoning and VI) are used to make the decision about who gets shortlisted etc.

I don't think that many applicants actually get to the VI because of the psychometric screening. I reckon that most people who pass the VI will make it to the AC unless if the programme is super competitive. There probably are multiple AC's for a single role aswell.

I thought we would have heard something by now as some people last year had their assessment centres in November

I looked through the thread last year, some were saying they found out about the AC the week before.

yes, they do, like only having good performance in all assessments doesn't guarantee for an AC. They shortlist candidates on CV and skills as well.

Still no one heard about graduate ACs? Or after assessments and VI?

I submitted my VI on the 11th of September for the finance analyst grade scheme. Still no news but my portal did say there was an update on the 12th of October. Not sure what that means tho

Did anyone else struggle with the Cognitive Ability test? I usually perform relatively well in those but this one was slightly disappointing. The numerical sequences in particular were difficult. I don't remember the exact sequence but it was something like: ^8, &3, $7 etc (although I'm aware that we all received different questions). It was very bizarre haha. I applied for the Corporate Banking analyst role

I got this email aswell and emailed them back on Friday to ask for an update. They replied today letting me know that recruiters are still in the selection process and finalising the assessment centre dates.
