Has anyone went through the new format recently where it’s a group exercise individual exercise and the 10minute teach me something new presentation. Any info on what the group and individual tasks were
The solo task was a memory task, 5 minutes to memorise information and then answer questions on it, the group task was; you’re given some information and you need to discuss it between 3 or 4 of you on a table come up with a plan of what your going to do with that information, and why, then you will present what you’ve come up with,

Ahh right. So is that memory task just a bit like what we done in the psychometric then. Was quite a bit of info on the psyc task was about the braking system and how it’s tested and works

not as hard but you can’t make notes, reminded me of how I used do a school spelling test, memorise it, cover it and test myself, until they took the sheet away,
