    How was the commercial case study interview? Do they expect you to have a strong understanding of commercial awareness/thinking, or do they just want to see how you think and process information?

    Really? I spoke to one of the EC team and she said they haven't sorted ACs out yet - this was around a month ago. They probs did a couple already. I hope we hear the good news soon.

    I hope I get an invite. Do you have any advice for their AC - was it more challenging than you expected?

    I thought it was a rolling basis only for Stages 1 & 2 Assessments. Then after the deadline they sort and send out AC invites? I'm not sure tho.

    Hi, When did you receive the invite for FF AC? I completed the stage 2 assessment about a month ago but haven't heard back from them yet.
