[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 19665, member: 1"] [B]CMS Academy 2020 AC - anonymous 1. Case Study and Interview[/B] You are given preparation time to read over a pack of information about whether a client should expand into an imaginary country.

They don't ask you firm-focused questions, but instead they question your morals/who you would want to go to dinner with etc. I think they are looking to see if you can build relationships quickly and if you are confident and have opinions.
