Has anyone had any response for them yet? I'm assuming the responses go out today?
I haven’t heard, but from the post above I would assume they will let us know today! Good luck 😊
If anyone's been wondering - just received DACB rejection post VI 😢
same! I received my rejection email too. very unfortunate! It just makes you question everything
the first part is SJT and the critical thinking part is similar to watson glaser yes
Its very similar to the Linklaters test. They basically try to decipher your personality using SJT sort of scenarios, then its followed by the Watson Glaser. There's a preparation hub where you can do practice questions in the email to the test
Hey @Legalregal! Congrats on your VI! Linking my post here to help you prep for it. Let me know if you find it useful and how your VI goes- wishing you the best!
WFW VI
Anyone know some of the questions we can expect to receive?
What are some of the general questions someone should generally prepare for in VIs?

When an interviewer asks at the end of the interview ‘is there anything else you want us to know that you think will help with your application?’ Is there anything specific they are looking for?
I always stumble on this question and never know what they are really after. Any help would be really appreciated!

This is one of my go-to questions at the end of an interview.
There really isn't anything specifically they are looking for - it is just a chance for an open opportunity for you to present anything you want that you naturally haven't had the opportunity to. Recruitment processes are limited - for example, you might really want to talk about your innovative thinking but you just aren't asked a question that allows you to showcase this.
So just see it as a big open opportunity for you to lead the conversation, rather be directed by the interviewer.
The WFW VI is two questions. The questions you receive are randomly selected, so you may have 2x competency, 2x commercial awareness, one of each, etc. The time you have for each question will vary - I can't remember exactly, but I think I had 60 seconds to prepare for my first question, and then 90 seconds to answer it. For my second question, I had two minutes to prepare and two minutes to answer. It's a super quick and straightforward VI - just make sure you know your experiences well for the competency qs and have your standard commercial awareness questions prepared
My biggest tip is to not rehearse too much in the sense of "memorising" a script - I think they're ultimately looking for your personality as well as the quality of your answers!
Feel free to message me if you have any more questions, I completed the VS process this year which is basically the same format as the TC cycle!
