How important is the Suited test?

Not gonna lie I feel like I bombed the “essential competencies” part. I wasn’t anywhere near finishing any of the sections. And I noticed that several of my top choice banks use them which is worrying because now I feel like I just fucked over my chances at all of them, because apparently once you take it that score gets sent to EVERY FIRM you apply to.

To anyone currently in the SA recruiting process, how close were y’all to finishing any of the sections? Pretty sure I didn’t even make it halfway thru most of them lmao. Anyone else feel like they bombed and still get a first round?

To people at firms that use Suited, how important is the test? Is it just an HR screen thing to make sure I’m not a complete retard or do you actually use it to decide on candidates?

Just feeling kinda duped and don’t know what to do, anything helps
