NRF Arctic Shores invitation - does anyone know how to actually pass this? I have never managed to, and I do especially bad on the power generator task. I have watched all possible videos on this test, I have applied the tips and I still do not pass. Last year I scored in the very top percentile...

I agree 100%. Some people are actually looking to write a formal complaint because of how bad they are.

I love listening to podcasts to keep up my commercial awareness, especially when i commute somewhere or while running. You can play it in the background while you do other things. It's not something that takes up all of your attention, but it's also engaging enough to keep you interested.
