    I'm in the position where I scored good on intellect, but not great on the SJT. Got the review email 26th Sept, applied initially 16th Aug, not heard anything yet. I really reckon imma get PFO but at least it will be the end of this week? Anyone feeling the same right now?
    Also did we fund out that the AC is rolling and non rolling (I'm confused). Us anyone with an AC willing to share what week it is roughly?

    Just from the feedback from the report - I know it's not that specific, but I just get a vibe
    Likewise. But at an Early Careers Q&A I attended, the recruiter said not to be disheartened by the feedback report as everyone's at stage one in their career, and it's not necessarily indicative of bad performance. So I wouldn't put too much weight on speculating about SJT reports/performance

    True, but also the fact people have already heard and gotten rejections/ acceptances, I just don't think it will be good. I got the under review email on the 26th which was the same date as someone who got accepted on the 9th. Doesn't look good
