Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 227944" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hello!Congratulations on the written exercise invite! To address each of your main questions:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Camera on: this likely differs from firm to firm. I've sat written exercises before where it asks for permission to use your camera (and, therefore, I assume it was recording!) and others where it has not. If camera use is required, it will be very clearly stated in the instructions of the written exercise</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Live monitoring: there is typically no live invigilator - written exercises are usually completed independently within a set time window. Some firms may use basic monitoring software, but again, this would be disclosed in advance</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">When questions are released: in most cases, the questions are released at the start of your allocated time slot, not beforehand. You would then submit your answer before the deadline at the end of that slot. I would say it is uncommon for firms to send the questions early.</li> </ol>The point about assessors being partners and associates grading anonymously is very standard and simply means:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your work is marked without personal details attached</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reviewers are focusing on your content, structure, and commercial awareness</li> </ul>So, yes - I'd say that these are general practices, but small details can vary by firm. If anything differs (i.e. cameras on, live assessment, early access to questions), firms will be very explicit about it.In terms of quick tips for the written exercise, I have quoted some posts below that might be a helpful starting point! Wishing you the best of luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
