I applied for the brand specialist grad scheme. Got the test straight away but it says job simulation and work style assessment not game based. Did anyone do a similar test?

Yes, for the SDE apprenticeship, no game for me.
Did anybody get a feedback report? I didn't.
I am totally confused. I have completed the job simulation and work style assessment which were automatically sent after I applied (unless their reqruiters work at the speed of light) and now I have been invited to a game assessment. I applied for SDE, London. Did anybody else have to do both?

Also, do you need to have a working camera while you do the test? I have different devices, one is great but no camera will work on it so I will need to use somebody else's laptop.

That's so weird, I've applied for exactly the same. But I heard nothing and had to wait a few days after applying and then just got sent the game assessment. So I haven't seen anything about a job simulation/working style assessment. I wonder if there's different criteria on what you have to do based on your background (like if you're a school leaver or career changer, etc.).

The game based assessment doesn't require a camera, and good luck 🙂

Thank you so much, what a relief!

I am in Y13 and only do volunteering work, not holding a paying job while others work in McD, supermarkets etc. maybe that's why?

Volunteering is still work experience 🙂 But sounds like it could be related to the amount and type of experience. I'm a career changer with a few years work experience so that could be why but I'm just speculating at this point lol

I hope all your work and life experience will help you 🙂 Good luck too!

I thought I would create a new thread for this years applicants.

I applied for SDE in London. Anyone know when we might hear back to start the online assessments?

when did you apply and did u get accepted

So the role I applied for gives the online assessment instantly, so does my CV being good even matter?

give a summary of what you wrote on your CV

in the same boat here! I’m not sure if it’s normal to have to do both but that’s where I stand too.

Yes, for some roles you have to do both. It’s fine!

I think it's actually more normal. It says so in their FAQ https://amazonapprenticeships.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions
