Yeah I did the one for People and Culture, spent a long time on it. Some tricky questions and it's hard to pick the worst option. I wonder what the pass rate is?

yes I applied to the information security scheme, completed my sjt now need to complete the verbal and numerical test. Which scheme have you applied to? and have you done the verbal/numerical tests, if so how was it?
I didn't apply to the Grad scheme, I applied to the BP (Trading and Shipping) - summer internship. I've done up to the VI for it. The verbal/numerical tests are relatively simple. The ones I did had 3 minutes to complete a set of 4 questions, and this happens 3 times for a total of 12 questions (If I remember correctly).

I found the sjt easier than the verbal/numerical because of the time restrictions. I think I failed the verbal numerical test

Were the questions hard?

The questions weren't too hard but it puts pressure on you with the time limit, which is 3 minutes per a set of 4 questions with 4 sets.

So they got back to you reasonably quickly then after the SJT. Wish you best of luck with your results! Hope you've done well.

Just sat verbal and numerical tests, they were tricky especially verbal parts especially as the passages were quite big. Hope I've passed I wonder what the pass mark is?
