With 6664/9 score and high Numerical, average verbal score... I think I should give up on Weil probably smh.

The VI wasn't bad, but I do believe I could have done better... Since the questions were kinda long, I kept wondering if I did answer all part of the question (which I believe I did).

Oh ok, did you change your approach perhaps?
I didn't mean to. I did AOS an hour before Weil, so maybe it was due to exhausted factor, idk. Sitting 3 hours for two tests isn't recommended, but the week I had to do the test was so hectic. I attended multiple open days, writing handover for my job, meeting clients, etc.

Well, Amberjack is tricky, that's why I'd place it second preference after Pearson's WG, just slightly better than Cappfinity SJT and VI.
