[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1587, member: 1"] My advice for the written exercise is to practice. I know there isn't much out there -- and if I remember correctly you've already done at least one our case studies -- so simply set yourself questions. You want to develop your technique: Is your writing clear? Are your points easy to follow? Are you answering the question? If you can, ask someone to give you feedback on your writing. Don't worry too much about preparing for the content of your exercise, but stay aware of the topical commercial news stories e.g. Brexit, Trump, interest rates, tariffs. For the interview, use the answers you wrote for your mock written exercise and see if you can explain your answers clearly to someone (or out loud in your room). For example, let's say your topic was: "A no-deal Brexit would destroy the British economy". First, summarise your position and highlight the key points of your argument. Then, ask your friend to ask you questions. Get them to push you, because that's what you'll be doing in the interview. Finally, try to play devil's advocate, run through all of your reasons and try to argue against them. [/QUOTE]
