i applied for the insurance scheme and it was like that but I think everyone automatically got put through into second stage - online assessments because I got the thanks for applying email and the invitation for assessment email within 1 min of each other

I've not finished it. I think you get sent the VI if you pass the questions. No idea how they will be able to filter who progresses to the AC without a CV and Cover Letter. Most would pass the questions so it seems abit unfair that it all depends on the video interview.

Who’s done the VI/job sim already? How did you find it?

The job sim looks so long you have to do a numerical reasoning test after the VI I can’t seem to find any info on it either I think it’s new for this year

A mix of recorded qs, written, and like the ones where you arrange options and then numerical at the end. This was for insurance though but can’t imagine it will be very different for actuarial

Hi can I ask if the numerical is seperate like can you finish the first part then come back to the numerical or does it all have to be done in one part. Cos in the first assessment you could do the cortical reasoning test separately and come back to it

Also how many recorded Qs

Sorry I honestly can’t really remember. The numerical is sort of separate to the job sim. I think you can take a break but I didn’t want to log out of the system when I did it in case you couldn’t come back to it

Around 5 maybe? They were really simple though probably some of the easiest I’d done in a VI - but again this is for insurance and not actuarial so there may be differences!

Hey, just wondering if you had trouble accessing? As I passed the questions and got through to that stage but no link was included where it says ‘click here’ on the email!

I applied for the insurance grad scheme, I emailed on Tuesday and still no response! It’s a bit weird that some people have the link- I even went on my workday account and it says there’s no tasks to do…hopefully they get back to us soon.
