Did anyone else do absolutely horribly on the SH VI... im normally pretty good at Amberjack assessments so im a little surprised and bummed. I also started doing clearly worse on the VI questions as they went on... heres to hoping they only watch the first one haha.

Hi!

I completed the VI on the 11 March and received the VS offer on the 17 March However, I did apply on the deadline, and they might be working on slightly different timelines this cycle, so I wouldn't panic if you haven't heard yet!

Okay, that’s perfect thank you. I applied a day before the deadline and completed my VI on the 2nd of March, so still some waiting time

Hi @Abbie Whitlock, I had a quick question on how to find good resources to practice summarisation tasks in Acs?

Any advice would be really appreciated!
