Agreed, if the first stage is literally a just a SPAG check surely they will review the results next to the application... Otherwise why bother asking three questions just for the sake of checking spelling😅- Bread

I remember @Andrei Radu (I believe) making a post on how prepare for SJTs, or what to look out for, etc. Would really appreciate any additional advice on how to do well in SJTs because I never seem to progress with firms that use them. Thank you x- Bread

He said that they are looking for an ability to structure your answer and to give a compelling answer.
