Hey, I hope you're well. I saw your post regarding the OC assessment centre and I was just wondering how it was? I have mine in a couple of days and it will be my first assessment centre so I am very nervous. Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you :)

I saw you post on the forum that you did the kirkland AC last year - do you mind telling me about how you found it?
Hi LawBrah, I saw in one of the posts that you have done VI with CRS. May I know what questions did CRS ask in VI? This is my first VI, so any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks so much!
