    I don’t think there’s much you can do to prep for group exercises, general advice for the day would be to make sure you contribute, but don’t be the only one who speaks, so listen to what other people have to say.

    I was in the 80th percentile, but this was a direct TC app in July, not sure if they could have different cutoffs for VS and TC But they also look at applications again after WG so the pfo might not have been cause of the score
