Math tests - JFA Medical Business Internship Assessment - Any Tips?

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been invited to complete an assessment for the JFA Medical Business Internship in Manchester and was wondering if anyone has taken it before. I’d love to know what to expect, I know there is a short math test and I really need help knowing what kind of maths will be involved, how best to prepare, and any tips you might have.

If you’ve done the test before or know someone who has, I’d really appreciate any insights!

Thanks in advance 😊

I've also been invited to an assessment but are we sure this is a real job? It just seems too good to be true but I don't know what someone would gain from making a fake listing 😭

Now you put me on edge hahaha but hopefully not, I think it will just be really competitive. What day you doing your assessment? :smile:

Really sorry I'm not on this site much anymore so late reply! But yes Saturday 12th April at 1:30pm. It's throwing me a bit that it's at the University of Salford like is this just an experiment lmao

I don't know something about it just feels so off to me I'm tempted to cancel, like when I look up the company it's saying it's based in Blackpool but obviously this is in Manchester, and I just don't know any legit jobs with such a high starting salary. Surely the few that are that high headhunt? Maybe I'm overthinking though and I don't want to pass up a good opportunity 😭

Tbf as soon as i saw these replies i have been going back to see if i got more responses hahha. I have it at the exact same time and day and I saw it was in the university too i found it weird and as i am home for easter i have already booked my train there but now with people saying there are going to cancel i am getting scared 😐️, it is such a good opportunity and i really need an internship so i am hoping this is not an experiment or else i will be asking for compensation on the train ticket💀.

To be fair I honestly can't think why anyone would make up a job, but it is a bit weird because they say their office is in Spinningfields so why isn't the assessment? I also know there was a really similar job listing with a company called This Is Prime that I'm fairly sure wasn't real.

If you get there and find out it actually isn't real then I'm from Manchester and it's great for a day out! Maybe see if you can arrange for some friends to go with you so you can make a day of it?

I hope it is real but the £50,000 salary should raise some red flags to be honest

Yeah I mean I hope it doesn't come to that but I guess I shall see. The same person emailed this morning saying to not forgot a calculator and pen so I'm trying to gaslight myself into thinking it is real.

The £50,000 is A LOT but at this point I don't even want it I just want this to not be a scam hahah.

I also have this assessment tomorrow and feeling rather confused as it says the headquarters are in Blackpool and there’s no evidence online of an office in Manchester as well as there is very little information about the company.
