    Open Day and Insight Scheme Deadlines 2025-26

    has anyone else received the feedback report for Latham's test for their open day? I got analytical/complex thinking and effective communication as my strengths and my weaknesses were professional development and self-motivation. Feel like that's not a good sign tbh. 😭
