I would say thats enough, I thought I did awfully because i did average in the mathsy bit but i think they look at it in a v different way than we do, my scores were a lot higher in the emotify and the in-test yes and no gave me a bad impression - try to just go with your gut i think💗💗💗💗💗. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I’ve turned it in. Any tips for the assessment? Ive been doing a lot of brain exercise games, is that enough?
sure! send me a pmhey- I got an Ashurst SVS coming up- would it be okay to discuss the scheme/your experience on PM?
Hello, I hope you are well. Could I send you a pm as well? Thank yousure! send me a pm
Do you mean their online test?
They sent three tests to do.
1. Values Fit - You have to rank 20 statements according to what you think you'd like your 'ideal job' to be like/entail. There's really no proper way to prepare for those kinds of tests as there are no wrong or right answers. I guess you can just research the firm's values, which is what I did
2. Emotify - You have to match facial expressions to the correct emotions. There are three exercises in this test. I found the last one the hardest. You have only 3 seconds for the first exercise and 1 minute for the second and third exercise. The third one was harder because you have to read 3 statements and match 3 emotions in one minute. All of them kinda looked the same lol
I think there are some free online tests that resemble Ashurst's Emotify test. However, I haven't done any.
3. Cognify - This test had 4 parts to it. They were all games based and I found the first one harder. It had some weird graph thing. The rest were fairly easy
Hope this helps
Good luck!Are you also on the Ashurst SVS? Feel free to DM me- would be nice to prep/discuss it too with others!Hello, I hope you are well. Could I send you a pm as well? Thank you

I think it would have to be the cognify test. There was a mental maths test 😂
I could have improved my score for the emotify test though so please do any free practice tests online if you find any.
You’ll also have a practice test before each exercise so don’t worry about being thrown off too much!

Hey guys! Very pleased (and amazed) to say I've received an RPC Bristol TC offer!! Good luck to everyone else applying - you'll get there! (Especially if I managed to)!
Anyone heard back from BM post VI? This is the week guys!!

I’ve not yet received my test for Ashurst but I received a confirmation telling me I’ll be sent the test within 7 days. Surely, this is/was the case for everyone that applied right?
They said 7th May latestI thought that may have been the case haha! I think it's likely that we will hear back this week
My VI status has changed from finished to reviewed 😬 ...They said 7th May latest
