1. Understand the Objective
- Your task will likely assess your ability to analyse information, structure your thoughts, and communicate effectively. Focus on clarity, logic, and relevance in your answers.
- Read the instructions carefully—ensure you know what’s being asked and stick to the brief.
2. Structure Your Response
- Introduction: Summarise the key issue or problem. Show you’ve understood the scenario and its importance.
- Body: Break down your analysis into clear sections. Use headings if allowed. Address risks, opportunities, and potential solutions or recommendations.
- Conclusion: Provide a succinct summary or final recommendation. Keep it practical and aligned with the client’s or firm’s priorities.
3. Prioritise Key Points
- Time management is crucial. Skim the materials first to understand what’s relevant and avoid getting bogged down in unnecessary details.
- Use bullet points or concise paragraphs to make your analysis clear and easy to follow.
4. Demonstrate Commercial Awareness
- Tie your recommendations to real-world implications. For example, consider risks like reputational damage, compliance issues, or client impact.
- Show an understanding of the firm’s priorities (e.g., the firm's expertise in disputes, infrastructure, or financial services).
5. Proofread
- If time allows, review your work for grammar, clarity, and completeness before submitting. Errors can distract from your message.
Stay calm, focus on structuring your thoughts, and you’ll handle it well. Good luck—you’re more prepared than you think! 😊
