I emailed graduate recruitment for my WG mark and they replied after a few minutes. I got 54%, but would be good to know what the cut off is for them and maybe what others who got to VI stage received?

Just of out curiosity, how long did it take to improve your WG scores to get through that stage? a few months?

I just practised every day with the free tests I found online from the day I got the WG invite. So a week. I practiced the sections I was bad at specifically.

EDIT: Grad Rec confirmed my score, not percentile. So if you ask for a score they'll give a specific score.

Is the score how many questions u got right out of 40? or is it expressed as a percentage?

Sometime in July I heard

 

[Samir_O]

how do you usually go about requesting feedback for an AC? do you just ask grad rec by email? and is the format of the feedback written or verbal.. or does this all just depend on the firm?
