[QUOTE="Tiffany S., post: 45871, member: 7770"] I recently failed an SJT, and it is not the first time I failed an SJT. I know people always say you can't practise an SJT, but I am really frustrated by it, especially after spending so much time on the app form questions. I understand that the scenarios are more or less the same across firms, so I really want to learn from my mistakes and seek advice from you guys. 1. When you are busy but the other trainees need help, are we supposed to choose the answer to offer help in any event (assume not the same project)? Let's say if we are working on the same project and the other trainee needs help but I am busy as well, is offer help or find our supervisor to sort out for us the better answer? 2. Very often there are questions about multitasking. Should we take up the task in any event or inform the partner about the deadline you got? On the other hand, is there a preference over helping your trainees first or taking a new task from the partner? 3. Is our personal interest matter? Questions sometimes emphasize the task is not something you are interested in. I usually answer that I will still take it but I have no idea whether this is right or not. I will be really grateful if any of you can give me any advice on it! At least I want to know what are the questions that I am making a mistake :( [/QUOTE]
