Hi all,
I am asking people who are waiting to attend a spring vacation scheme. I am wondering how are you preparing for the scheme.
@Jessica Booker Any thoughts please what preparation we can do ?
Thanks.

What do people think of their WBD feedback report?

I got a really low score with only one bar in two areas and the other two skills are medium. :/

For those who have done the WBD assessment, how many VI questions were there and what type of q’s were there? Would appreciate any insight! Thanks

I had 3 questions.

They are really interesting questions and I think you cannot prepare for those.
Definitely not the standard VI questions.

I really don't like this Amberjack interactive assessment. I have done a few of these and I really don't understand why we are given multiple calculations and mathematics problems instead of more behavioral or situational ones. Even being asked what I would like to be famous for at the end like??? I literally started talking about being a director or something lmao

Very weird

Yes I agree completely. Thanks Eisa and the others for sharing info on WBD assessment. I sharnt be wasting my time doing it.

Did they let you use your phone calculator and also do we have to dress smartly?

Haven’t taken the assessment in question, but would be weird if you couldn’t use a calculator (unless they’re maybe fermi problems or similar). I’d imagine they’re trying to find out how you think, rather than how good your mental maths is!

London

I’m going to dress smart as I’m doing it all in one go, if you’re taking time between each, then just make sure you’re looking smart for the video interview
