it’s just some cognitive test nothing too difficult, there’s stuff online you can ‘use to practice’ … most firms use some form of this

UBS

1. Know your target audience
- Do your research on the company you are applying for and really
practice responses to “Why do you want this scholarship ... What
makes you a good candidate etc”

2. Networking
- Literally the best thing you can do right now (if you want to work in a
corporate job) is to get those connections early. Yes. Many people will
meme you for having a LinkedIn account in highschool but take it from me: I
was able to connect with one of my interviewers for the UBS interview early
as I reached out to them and showed them that I was ready to go the extra
mile to be noticed. Take the time to hone your personal branding.
3. General communication
- For any scholarship and/or interview, you need to be able to
effectively communicate your strengths and skill sets (WITHOUT
BRAGGING, this was very difficult for someone in my interview group
and they instantly got cut....)
- Practice generic interview responses and learn how to pace yourself -
speak slower than you normally do as the interviewer is most likely
taking notes and you want them to catch onto everything you say

4. Volunteering and extracurricular
- Very crucial for a well rounded application
- You got to prove that you are more than just your academics
- Having a side project or passion is more important to recruiters than
getting a 90% in a math exam

5. Your marks
- Unfortunately they do place a strong emphasis on your marks to a certain
extent and most cadets I know all got .5+ (but don't be discouraged as the
recruiting company will look at you as a whole)

note before anyone asks: i'm not going to share the full doc bcz it has some of their personal details
