It’s a strength test so a genuine test to see if you match with the firm! Nothing to worry about and no sort of practice is really necessary. Part of the test there’s done critical reasoning. Maybe you could practice some Watson Glaser but even if you don’t you’ll be fine. Just be honest and genuine.
Because the email says give yourself atleast 1.5 hours. Although it’s not timed, I don’t know why my instincts tell me to stick to 1.5 hours. I think I spent less than that. I’ve gotten my feedback report too and now waiting to see if I’m successful or not. Goodluck!

I'm on the same boat, got my feedback report yesterday and it was actually quite insightful!

I didn't get that email, nor have I received it on the portal! Wonder if thats bad news already 😭
Me neither.... :( which programs have you all applied to? I applied to SQE and I remember that I got the SST interview an hour or so after direct TC applicants posted they received it on another thread
