  2. 2.Two short interactive assessments (plus a technical test for technical programmes)

    Do a few free practice tests first so the format isn't new on the day, and find a quiet spot with a steady connection.

  3. 3.Assessment centre, in person or virtual, including a motivational interview

    Often a mix of group tasks, a case study, a presentation and an interview. In group work, listening and bringing others in counts as much as having ideas.
