Hi I have an AC coming up and I would like to ask if anyone knows where to practice a written exercise. The closest I have on mind is Forage virtual internships. It would be great if you could share what the exercise is about eg. finding errors, summarising, cross-referencing? I saw that some members have done a presentation, is it like a case study/advising clients?

I used forage and watch any YouTube videos I can find to help prep. I've done 2 assessment centre and they both included a presentation. It's hard to practice this but I tried to tailor my presentation style to each firm. I also used my lpc which I actually found the most useful especially for the drafting and research tasks.
No worries. In my experience, written exercises tend to be marked by graduate rec. so important to speak plainly and clearly. They can only mark you on what you've written so make sure you put down detail and where possible think about what you can add that other candidates might not to show you are commercially aware. If you've completed it and answered (what's likely to be a comprehension exercise depending on the firm) then you have to ask, is this the bare minimum that is expected (despite the huge effort) and add something novel.
