[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 163006, member: 30937"] I think that those are quite difficult to prepare but a couple of things that you might want to work on are: [LIST] [*]Make sure your commercial awareness and financial understanding is on point. With this, I mean make sure you have a basic understanding of the few business and financial concepts surround deals, M&A, takeovers. Investopedia was my best friend when I was applying last year so I would recommend searching for all the words or concepts you do not understand on that website. [*]Ask a friend or a family member to practice with you. I used to ask my friends to send me articles I did not read or was familiar with and we used to talk and debate about the topic, analysing strengths and weaknesses and have them contradicting you often, that will really prepare you for the real exercise. [*]Have nice sentences of disagreement that allow you to express disapproval for a point expressed by the associate but always being professional and understanding, for instance: 'I see your point however I personally believe that the negative consequences outweigh the positive for XYZ reasons'.. [*]Try and also practice with someone you are not too comfortable with. This will allow you to understand how to calm your nerves and think under pressure. I never did this but I do think that it would have been so beneficial to prepare for the real assessment. [/LIST] I hope these tips are helpful and good luck! [/QUOTE]
