Some of the Fladgate personality assessment questions felt like they were straight out of an NHS mental health self-assessment. It asked me to respond to statements like “I feel worthless” and “I often feel blue”. Strange 🫤

Yes, I thought the same! Surely nobody who's serious is choosing "strongly agree" for anything that unbelievably negative. Very bizarre.

should I give up on waiting out for a macs ac, seems like from this forum they won't be doing another batch soon 😩

If they haven't sent you a PFO yet, don't give up. I received a PFO already from Macs so if you weren't in the running they would have sent you the email already

Congratulations on being invited to the VI!!! If you don't mind me asking - when did you receive the invite? Also, is this for the summer VS or direct TC? Thank you

Thank you! I got the invite yesterday and it's for the summer VS

I am an over thinker so I usually request after the final outcome is given

First AC completed today! Bit of a mess as I messed up the in tray exercise + case study but my interview was great partly because I was pretty confident and started yapping on😭😭 not holding out as the competition is fierce with internal candidates in the mix too😓 onto the next AC tomorrow 💪

 

[Victor87]

Would anyone who got an AC invite for HL be willing to share the score they got for the WG?

 

[kmo20]

Congrats! Was your first preference summer or spring? Many thanks

Thank you! It was summer

anyone completed V&E VI? I heard we can re-record once. Are we allowed to take a short break before doing it a second time, or do we have to start immediately?

it loads automatically after submission but technically get like a 1 minute break to read the q and think about the answer
