Does anyone have any advice for feeling cripplingly underprepared for an assessment centre? I have two this week and have had basically no time to prepare
me toooo I have two this week and have still not started preparing because I have essays dueee
honestly, there's nothing you can do apart from prepare as much as you can with the time you have left (that's how I am going to go about it once these dreadful essays are out of the way). Get your basics and fundamentals down, and the rest will be up to luck and general knowledge on the day I guess.
I found feeling stressed and worrying about this issue quite redundant - stressing won't help you win back more time or help you feel more prepared (it's a perpetual cycle lol)
honestly, trust me, you will be fine!! everyone feels underprepared going into ACs because it's just so uncertain and high-stakes. But I'm sure despite feeling underprepared, you might actually find that you are prepared after all. Don't underestimate the work you've done previously and your raw abilities when under pressure!
the best you can do for yourself right now given the circumstances is to use the time remaining efficiently, remain calm, and go in there with confidence! Best of luck!! let's hope this week goes well for both of us! 🤞
