Honestly it sounds like we all feel like we fumbled the written bit. Maybe they will just disregard it if we all do poorly 🤣But seriously, I am sure you did much better than you think. I didnt even properly finish the questions.
I was honestly just waffling at a point. What is worse is that I started typing in ye olde wordcounter.net only to find out that I could not paste in it. Not to mention my atrocious spelling and grammar. Let's all cry together

I was supposed to get reasonable adjustments which was 50% extra time. I emailed them the same day they sent the link and they STILL haven't responded. I was laughing hysterically through that whole assessment bc wut

You know what, that's a good point. I was also supposed to have reasonable adjustments and I asked them to be applied in my application...I just realised they were never applied.
 
Amberjack SJT's seem to assess on four pillars: grit, digital mindset, creative force, and applied intellect. Does anyone have any tips on how to focus my answers towards demonstrating these skills? I have taken so many SJT's and have had an average 4466 score, so I'm really struggling with improving on these. I know authenticity goes a long way but seems like being honest here is really not working.

PS. I flopped my RS SJT last year, trying to avoid the same this year!!!!
