Or do mock interviews with a family member/friend and ask for feedback.

Hi Amelia - the team ran a great session on supporting you through the Situational Judgment test and this is on youtube https://youtu.be/iHbyPQqoFCw

No problem - practise makes for the best preparation for the NRT - when you get to that stage of the application you'll also receive an NRT guidance doc to support you with your practise

Ok, that's great to hear, thank you! In the job simulation stage, are there further tests of this kind?

The job simulation is in the form of a case study where you will be given a fake client and engagement to work on. There will be situational judgement questions, data analysis questions, an email to write to test written communication and also some video questions, so it's really testing a number of strengths!
