i’ve already applied and i haven’t heard anything yet, the email confirmation they sent me was actually wrong as well! the deadline’s in quite a bit of time anyway so don’t think you should be worried at all, think it’s better to make sure your application’s not rushed
That is the thing I am worried about the rolling basis thing and congratulations on submitting it. I know I should not rush it and will probably do a few drafts for it and submit it by next weekend also thank you for your reply.i’ve already applied and i haven’t heard anything yet, the email confirmation they sent me was actually wrong as well! the deadline’s in quite a bit of time anyway so don’t think you should be worried at all, think it’s better to make sure your application’s not rushed

I was thinking of discussing about VAR for those of you who are football supporters will know what I mean by this so wanted to know what do you lot think is it something good to discuss.

Questions like this are both really easy and really difficult because there is no right or wrong answer. You can discuss really anything you'd like to. It's a question that is trying to understand what you do in your free time that your particularly passionate about/what makes you happy/what can you talk about for hours without ever getting bored? Since you say you're a football fan then go ahead an talk about the VAR, but don't feel the need to talk about anything legal because I think the further away you stay from legal topics the better.
Hello Dheepa,
Thank you for this and your reply has made it more simpler for me and has given me more suggestions thank you for this.
I haven't done it yet either, was wondering how long after I might expect to hear from them haha. Could anyone refer me to any good (and free!) resources to get better at WG? I did the free tests on JobTestPrep and didn't do well at all - so definitely a bit panicky now!
Please don’t feel panicky! You’ll be absolutely fine. I have been using assessment day to practice so try them out
I think it depends on what you’re passionate about and how you come across. With me, I spoke about the rise of student-led social mobility organisations and their effectiveness

I have seen everything from wine tasting to a type of yoga, to architecture of a specific period/country, to the activities of homeless charities.
As long as you can link it back to you and show a clear, thoughtful opinion on it, it really doesn’t matter what the subject is
