[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 580, member: 1"] That's some very blunt feedback, well done for taking it on the chin, I know it can be hard to hear. Those are particularly difficult questions for an interview, I think it's an issue that part of the assessment comes down to your knowledge of technical terms, I'm not convinced that tells you much about the potential of a student. That's a big part of why the guides on here go into a lot of technical detail; I used to struggle with it when I first started interviewing. I hope that if we cover more on here, less of you will get caught out by these kinds of questions but it's definitely a work in progress. Hmm, that is unclear. It's odd that they didn't mention the written exercise in the latest email. I don't know if they're suggesting the written exercise is the same thing as the online assessment, but that would be unusual. I would presume that the last hour will be for an interview, but then they haven't mentioned that. If possible, I would suggest you send an email to HR to confirm. That way you don't have to worry about preparing for something that doesn't come up. I think it depends on what you struggle with and the extent to which you can practice. I was fine with verbal reasoning tests so it's not something I would have spent further time on. I would be much more likely to spend my time preparing for the final interview as often that holds more weight. That means summarising what you did during the week, assessing what went well/could be improved and refining your answers to typical interview questions. Best of luck on the rest of your vac scheme and let me know if they get back to you on the final AC. [/QUOTE]
