Hi all,

I have an assessment centre at BCLP this week and was wondering if anyone has done one recently and might have any tips? The case study preparation and presentation sounds relatively straightforward but they also mention a marking up exercise, which I'm not sure what that is, as well as a final interview. Does anyone know what that final interview usually covers?

A marking up exercise is usually an attention to detail task. You’ll be given a document and asked to review it and make any changes to improve the writing style, accuracy and correct any errors (these might not just be spellings but things like wrong dates/names/time periods/fomatting (eg consistent numbering of terms etc).

how long after receiving your test report were you offered an AC? :)
