I did it last year but it’s honestly very varied and I’d say it’s hard to prepare for. There were a lot of SJT scenarios in the CAPP I did and personality driven questions. I believe there might be a WG element but I can’t recall properly. I remember Links did have a lot online about this last year so try to check their website.

the only way really to prepare is to look at their competencies and maybe practice some SJTs so you feel comfortable doing them. I don’t think there is a time limit (there wasn’t last year) and I remember just taking my time to really think about the best courses of action. With personality questions, just be honest- it’s the best policy!

Just took it yesterday, its just a lot of situational questions and seems to be more to gauge what type of person you are than to test your knowledge. That being said there is a short critical thinking test at the end but this is pretty similar/the same as Watson Glaser questions, so shouldn't catch you off guard.

Like Alice said, feel that with these type of assessments it is just best to be honest, the firm will want to see a microcosm of you, not a character created to impress the recruiter.

Good luck!
