[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 236960, member: 43563"] [USER=43743]@rohing99[/USER] the decision is largely driven on candidate performance. At this stage, your written application, test performance, academic criteria (and the vast beyond) has done what it needed to do, and that is get you to an AC. The decision after that is made on how you performed in the AC. The way this tends to happen is that you are scored across each exercise against the metric that they've set. I don't know what grading they use, some grade you like you're sitting high school exams and others grade you out of a number - it really depends on how what works for the firm but the outcome will be the same regardless. All of the marks are provided to graduate recruitment, who then, create a final coalition - whether that's a total or an average and you're placed in a leaderboard. Typically, at the end of the AC, all the assessors and graduate recruitment will sit in a meeting and talk through that leaderboard, and each assessor will talk through your feedback and what they liked. Essentially, they want to anticipate if the assessors think you should be made an offer. The reason this is important, is that you could have raised some serious concerns in one exercise but your performance in the other two was really strong - so hearing directly from the assessors is important. Some firms may place a higher emphasis on certain components of the AC over others, but again, this depends on their process and what it is they consider to be most important. [/QUOTE]
