Hi All,

I have received my first ever interview/online test invite for a vac scheme. Woo!

I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me tips/advice on how to succeed at this stage. The ability tests consist of one verbal reasoning test and one logical reasoning test and then there is a video interview which consists of competency, motivational and scenario questions.

Thanks!
