Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 249165" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hello!For an interview based on a written exercise, I would focus on making sure that you really understand your own reasoning. The assessors are likely less concerned with whether you have reached the “perfect” answer, and are more interested in how you approached the task. Therefore, I would be ready to explain why you prioritised certain issues, any assumptions that you made, any points where you might need further information, and how you structured your analysis.It is also very common for interviewers and assessors to challenge your conclusions or introduce new information to see how you would respond. Definitely don’t see that as a sign you were wrong - they are often testing how you think on your feet, and how you approach the new issues that might arise. If the new facts change your original view, it is absolutely fine to say so and explain how and why you would adapt your advice (and vice versa if you stick to your original view).Finally, I would also be prepared to reflect on what you might improve if you had more time in the exercise. It is important to be reflective and show that you can evaluate your own work.Overall, I’d treat it as a discussion on how you approached the written exercise and how you reached certain conclusions, rather than having to defend it perfectly.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>
