Hiya, I recently attended a virtual assessment day for the grad scheme for an early start (transferred from last years cycle). It was last Tuesday and said we would hear back on the Friday/Monday. Those days have passed and got back nothing. I may just be impatient however considering it was only 6 of us, I thought we would've heard back by now. Has this sort of thing happened in the past where they just don't respond? thanks

Hi,
I just wanted to ask that after how long doing the numerical test did you find out if you passed or not? did you get an email straight away with feedback?

Hi, for me personally, they took a while but just keep logging into your NAO account to view your application status. They don't send an email about whether you pass that stage. I logged into mine and saw that I can book a telephone interview. Will be booking for this week hopefully.

Has anyone passed the telephone interview stage yet?

What was it like? Were there any particularly unexpected/ tricky questions that you can remember being asked?

I did mine a few days ago, but still waiting to hear back. My best advice would be to remember your objectives at each stage and ensure you don't track off. For instance, during the case study focus on what you're trying to achieve instead of trying to show off every skill you have. The client presentation is pretty straightforward but just don't dismiss the obvious. For the group discussion, focus on respectful communication. The interview is very conversational but covered pretty big topics. Speaking to other candidates in my AC, we were all asked a set of basic questions and then some different ones so there's only so much you can prepare for. Just make sure you've read into the NAO, and reflect on your own motivations/interests.

I am still waiting ...

When I log in it says under assessment; I completed all of the questions, numerical reasoning, etc. well over a month ago. Does anyone know how long I need to wait until it is updated?
