I need VI success stories I just got cut off in one

If this makes you feel better, during a VI that i (surprisingly) passed in January, I didn’t realize that I started recording for one of the questions and thought the prep time hadn’t begun, so I fully got up from my desk to quickly answer the doorbell and came back to see that i had 30 seconds left to say the least, those 30 seconds were violent at best, pretty sure i laughed at myself at some point too. You never know with these things, and they usually assess all questions + your app holistically. Good luck

for those who got offer for bj telephone interview, how was your amberjack assessment score like?

I was pretty surprised actually I didn’t think I did well enough considering how crazy competitive things are getting

I got high for numerical + verbal
7,7,7 for the other

I was quite happy with my written responses as I spent a lot of time on those.

 

[emily12]

I don’t understand amberjack at all man I feel like I answer in a similar way each time but my scores are just crazy different each time.

I just got 4,7,4,9 and high for applied verbal + numerical
My VI was not the worst but not great


How do people do well consistently in these tests I have no idea anyone got any tips
