    I’m 100% sure BM do not recruit on a rolling basis for TCs. Although it states that on the application, they do not get back to candidates until after the deadline has passed. This is confirmed by GR.

    Like I said, I didn’t prep for it. It’s quite simple. Just take your time and be honest when you answer the questions

    I don’t think it’s just the summer VS applicants bc a lot of spring VS candidates haven’t heard either. And if it was the case where only the successful spring VS candidates have been put forward, then surely the rest of us spring VS candidates should have got out PFO by now.

    You’ve totally misunderstood what I said. Asil asked whether doing the WG questions would increase your percentile score. I clarified by saying that is not true and the only way you can improve and get the best percentile score is by getting the questions correct. Of course some WGs have a time...

    No. There is only one way you can increase your percentile score in a WG test and that is getting the questions correct. Remember, your percentile score is based on how you do in comparison to the other candidates taking the test, so it would make no bearing on your score if you do it quickly or...

    Haven’t heard a peep from W&C regarding my spring VS application. They emailed me at the end of Dec stating that they would get back to us in the New Year but I still haven’t heard anything.
