Hi all
I haven’t heard back yet from the VI but prepping in case I get an AC invite as I have never done one before. Can I check the day is split into these elements 1) case study 2) in tray (inbox) exercise 3) client discussion exercise (guessing this is the group but) 4) one to one interview? Presuming you are asked questions in the case study during the one to one? I ask all this as I have been reading that some years they had a written element?
Thanks!
