No idea, I completed the VI and Written Assessment on Wednesday 20th December.

I hope it is soon though. I know my friend has his Written Assessment this coming Wednesday so not sure if they are just waiting for everyone to be done before they decide.

Amberjack numerical & SJT followed by VI, it was draining

Anything from Irwin Mitchell?

I need some advice from you guys - do you think it's a good idea to have my notes open in a Word document during a virtual assessment centre? This would include things like situations for standard competency questions or points about why I'm interested in the firm. On one hand, I believe it might help me stay more relaxed, but on the other hand, I'm concerned about becoming overly dependent on these notes 😥

What do you do? (I only had in person ACs so far so this was not an option haha)

Congratulations!! I know you got the HL AC - do you have advice on the WG? I’ve been using practice tests and have done HL’s WG but they’re yet to get back to me about my WG score and application outcome
