TW prep test makes me scared... Is the real one as extreme?
Honest answer? Real one's a lot worse lol but it's adaptive, so it's probably a good thing if you find it hard? The practice one doesn't adapt, but the real one does. You only need the verbal reasoning and critical thinking sections of the prep portal though because those are the tests that feature.

WFW & CRS Open Day PFO!

What a day, such a gloomy Friday at the end of month as always... Last outcome, hence I am done to wait OD results LOL.

Weird thing I've been tailored my app as usual and got invited to SH and TW Open days before, they're the main competitors and statistically far better in the same field!!!
