    Hi guys, to those who have applied to A&O Winter Vac Scheme,do they send Watson Glaser/VI automatically or only to those who have progressed towards the next stage? I might be wrong, but they seem to remove motivation questions in their application, and now seem to have a similar application...

    Yeh true forage is useless in terms of application boost like it’s a good thing for you to get some knowledge but recruitment team wouldn’t care much about it. What they all care the most are those shitty WG and motivation questions along with your uni grades.
