    I’m in the same situation. What type of role are you in in banking at the moment? I’m in relationship management so my answer might not be as applicable to you

    No but it did say on screen that we wouldn’t get an email confirmation. How did it go? I think I overthought it and only managed to get halfway through 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

    I think the use of spellcheck in an outside programme has been discussed before with much controversy.....I just used Topscore for the Willkie assessment and it saves every 2 seconds. I’d imagine they would be able to see if your work progressed over time or if you suddenly pasted a load of text...
