Getting a VS/TC is such a game of luck, e.g who read your app, when, their mood at the time, who interviews you etc. Don't be disheartened people, so many factors to success are out of your control

yh considering its trainees marking WE and stuff its defo luck haha

I got mid for both verbal and numerical, and 29/36 for the pillars. Lowk messed up the VI which is probably the most important 😭

Mid numerical and verbal, 26/36 on pillars😭 my worst amberjack performance

I feel like my VI went pretty decent so here’s to hoping they weigh the VI more than the verbal and numerical scores lol.

How is Amerjack actually marked? Do they weigh the numerical and verbal with the pillars?

Hi!

Just thought I'd share my score when I applied for their VS last cycle (as someone who received an offer), as it might provide some reassurance! I scored high in verbal intellect, mid in numerical intellect, and 22/36 - so definitely not crazy high!
