2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[John Travoni]

I wonder if they work it out like a percentage so because there’s 36 in total to get maybe like 60% pass rate which would mean you’d need 22 in total?

We’re unsure as to how they decide bc on top of having those 4 grids, they also take into account the score you got in the numeracy and the verbal reasoning, in addition to how well you performed in the VI. So it can l really go either way.

Yeah I did the assessment, I was in the middle for both the numerical and verbal reasoning but my VI let me down

Has anyone been rejected by either Travers or W&C re summer scheme? (I appreciate this is not easy to say but would give an insight for those of us waiting to hear back)

Some people have heard back positively and others have not all, so surely in that case, no response still leaves hope.

I’ve not got an official PFO from travers but got the email saying they will be in touch later this month/next month

I was in the middle for numerical and top for verbal reasoning so hopefully my lack of grit won't be a deterrent. I found the VI questions were quite nice compared to others I've done before.

Has anyone heard anything from Winckworth Sherwood yet? I had my interview with them for their VS over a month ago and haven't heard a peep.

Did the HR not give you a timeframe of when to except to hear from them?

Just a word of warning that when I interviewed with them last cycle they did ghost me, if you're unsuccessful you might not end up hearing anything like me
