MS IBD SA London

Hi guys, just wonder if anyone has received a video interview after doing online tests? I heard candidates need to score above 90th percentile in their online test to move on to the next recruitment stage, is that true?

Sure, as long as you use a VPN.

Honestly, it’s easier to buy Assessment Day/similar and practise them. Saves you having to waste time making an account each time, and you can actually see which ones you got wrong.

 

Yeah I think you need above 90th percentile for all the tests. I think that's why first rounds were so selective. I got interview for MS IBD NY, and I don't even have close to a great profile but still got an interview because I know I aced those tests and the Hirevue. I heard they won't even look at your application if you don't score in the 90th percentile, and after that, they watch the Hirevues of the top 10% and further filter those out with really bad ones. It may not be 90th percentile for sure though. Saw that online but it could be like 70 or 80 though. They definitely weight the tests heavily though. Idk what the process is for London though
