Group Exercise
These are used to assess your communication and problem-solving skills in action, and to ascertain how effectively you work in a team environment.
Assessors are looking out to see if you:
- Keep the group focussed on the objective.
- Present your case persuasively and with impact.
- Challenge appropriately and show encouragement / leadership of others.
A few tips:
- Decide on objectives and priorities, make a plan and follow it.
- The quality of what you say is more important than the quantity of your words.
- Find a balance between advancing your own ideas and helping the group to complete the task set.

Get advice on your application and what to expect when you start.
