Hi did you use the full 500 words for each question for BCLP application? My current word count for each question is around 400 I am wondering if that would look bad?

I think they recruit on a rolling basis but I think the deadline was beginning of November
They close when they reach the threshold of the maximum amount of applications they consider per year and when they fill up the spaces! (That’s what the job description said!)
No set deadline, it changes according to demand

Just select 'other' and then put in your A-level grade in one entry, that is what I did - hope this helps
In the interest of transparency, my results were:
Grit: 6/9
Applied Intellect: 7/9
Creative: 3/9
Digital: 6/9
Applied Verbal: Excelled
Tbh i don't know what to make of these results, especially the 3/9. Will not keep hopes high.
I think these scores r v good! Maybe they look at an average? Out of interest when did you apply? I have received a test invite and applied two months ago
I hate online tests! I did a test for Trowers, and I got collaboration as an area of weakness... that looks so bad. My former employers have praised me for being a team player, and I love working with other people. Tests are not a good reflection of what someone is like😭
This is the first time though I didn't get leadership as an area of weakness. I got communication, resilience and adaptability as my strengths which are good but collaboration is SO important.

Thanks for your kind words, fingers crossed. I applied mid Nov and received test Monday
Indeed. I like firms without the tests. Hence mostly applying to US firms.
