    Hi just wondering whether you could offer any advice. I failed the cbi interview on October 28th I failed 2 out of the 6 questions. I'm assuming now I will have to do new assessments for stage 2 which is the modal interview. What is that like can you remember any of the questions? I really...

    Assessment centre today, a mixed bag felt I did good on everything except the TRP Part 1. How are results compiled? Does anybody known if it is an overall score or is it for each test? Apart from that I felt I did pretty well. New tests introduced in October were straightforward as well.

    Im booked into the assessment centre. Just wondering, I notice people talk about two assessment centres. What do both assessments involve? Im assuming the bulk of the assessments are completed in the first assessments. Is there a second assessment centre after that?
