    Can anyone give any tips for the Bakers VI? there's honestly not much info online about the types of questions and it's really daunting... especially since they're one 3, so you have a chance of screwing up your VI by 30% with every question... Also have never done a VI so any and all tips...

    I just practised every day with the free tests I found online from the day I got the WG invite. So a week. I practiced the sections I was bad at specifically. EDIT: Grad Rec confirmed my score, not percentile. So if you ask for a score they'll give a specific score.

    Yeah the Bakers ACs are also end of May. Not very well thought out for students...

    I honestly dont think they will. There's no way to go through everyone's WGs, send out VIs with time to prepare in between, and decide who goes through to ACs by May 16...

    I still have a few days to do mine, so the batches of WGs arent done yet.

    I'd like to know this too - firms have different percentile ranges for passing the WG and I haven't seen insight on Bakers specifically

    Is it ok to ask for WG advice for prep on here? or is there another thread for that?

    Bakers WG invite! (very late, was getting worried)

    Do people reckon it's a PFO from Bakers if we haven't received an update on whether we made it through to the WG? The VIs are supposed to be happening in March and April (per the email we got after applying) and April is half-way through...

    Has anyone received anything from Baker today or yesterday? They're being very quiet and I wonder if it's because it's their VS right now and it ends next week (makes me wonder if they'll make us wait until after that is over for WG or even VI invites)

    I applied on the deadline and am still waiting. they said they are sending invites until around mid April, which to me translates as today being the cut-off
