I think it took me over 2 hours! It's a cool format and nice to do something a little different. I didn't find the voice dictation worked though so I ended up typing everything out!- johnsmith

SJT seems to be auto, the next VI stage looks like it's selective based on the SJT results- johnsmith

I think you’re safe to wait - the OD is next week and applications close this week so you'll hear quickly - OD will help enhance your VS application, particularly as they are VI heavy.- johnsmith

It definitely can be gamed, having watched some content on it, but some of the phrasing is very similar to contend with it, I think! Kind of shame it can be gamed though, as I think the answers people give end up being inauthentic. Amazing result though - well done!- johnsmith

“Our academic requirements are a minimum AAB at A-level or equivalent and a 2:1 degree (obtained or predicted). Applicants should demonstrate consistent grades across all modules of their degree. For example, candidates with a minimum 2:1 overall but low marks in multiple individual modules...- johnsmith

Weil test, I think I did poorly on! Got 7,7,7 & 4 in their Amberjack categories. Also subsequently noticed their rules on 2:1s in modules, which I hadn't noted, so I think that's a few hours of work that will amount to nothing!- johnsmith
