Weil PFO - with my amberjack results it's not surprising 😬 😬

im really sorry to hear this x do u mind me asking what ur score was?

 

[anon78365222111]

I know people are getting PFOs from Weil sorry don’t mean to sound insensitive but does that mean if we haven’t got one they’re most likely reviewing our vid and considering us

I think they reject you quite quickly if you don’t meet the SJT benchmark, I was rejected barely 2 days after completing the test. So if you haven’t heard back for a while I think it’s a good sign you’ve cleared the initial benchmark and they’re reviewing your vi!

Not yet! I saw someone get an AC invite for spring but I applied for summer

Did mine in early oct and still not heard back for spring lmao

 

[hxnnahrobinson]

Has anyone done the AG VI or know how long do we have to prep for each question and how long to answer!

2 minutes to answer, and i think 1 minute preparation time

 

[fbtrainee]

Just got a HSF PFO for spring, so drained

hi sorry do u mind me asking what ur overall score was? x

im really sorry to hear this x do u mind me asking what ur score was?

I don't remember but it was very low, like under 20. For me amberjack is a hit or miss every time 😭 😭 I would appreciate any advice on how to improve (esp. applied intellect pillar)

ah sorry to hear that! I second this! applied intellect pillar is my worse too and I honestly am not too sure how to improve either because out of the options it feels like you either choose between that or options that are least effective at completing work at the required deadlines😭

that pillar was my lowest usually too but i practiced with this pack someone here recommended and i managed to increase the score in it by 2 hope it helps x https://aptitude-test-prep.com/test-providers/amberjack-assessment/
