Hi all,

I hope you're all well!

I was wondering whether anyone had any tips/pointers/guidance on case study exercises and in-tray exercises, please?

The only guidance I have from the firm is:

Written Exercise
  • 45m to prepare two pieces of writing.
  • Past things have included memos, letters to clients, etc.
Intray Exercise
  • 30m to read documents and the answer questions on it in the interview.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks :)
