Evidence passage recorded against the source
The assessment day starts with a partner case study interview; you'll be given a case study along with some questions 40 minutes before your partner interviewer joins. In this time, you will read the case study and prepare responses to the questions given. These could be emails, financial statements etc. that form the basis of a fictional case.
LimitThe passage is what the research lead recorded against the official page on the observation date. Pages change; check the source and the retrieval date before relying on it.
