[QUOTE="Novaa, post: 238390, member: 26320"] 1. Understand the structure of the day and what is being assessed at each part of the day. 2. Review your application to understand and remember why you are doing this. 3. Brush up on your STAR examples but make sure you’re being authentic and yourself. The competency part is also a part to show your personality as well as skills. 4. For the case study, try to remain calm and it’s okay to show you’re not confident on something. “I’m not sure if I’m on the right page but would ____________ work?” and if the partner challenges you, even if it’s a trick challenge. Show that you considered what they said challenged “Hmm let me have a think”. Case studies test how flexible your thinking is and how you perform under pressure. 5. If there’s a group task, do not fall into the trap of thinking it’s you versus them. Please do not do this, LOL it is very easy to spot and works in others favours. 6. Some personalities at ACs can be interesting… 😍 IGNORE THEM!! Go in with a clear mind and don’t let anyone try sway your confidence. Remember you’ve made it and you can smash it!
