Attended the SYD assessment day yesterday (15th). There were 26 in the afternoon session. Our session lasted 3 hours and consisted of:
A welcome and information session where all the paperwork was also checked
A group activity (we only had one activity so make sure you get involved right from the word go)
A written/comprehension paper (they say this does not get assessed but they walk around and look over your shoulder to see how you're answering the questions, they are EP's questions but the answers are all in the info you're given to read), it is "marked" in the classroom as a group
Two- on-one "individual interviews" where one person is asking you the questions and the other is writing the whole time. I got 4 behavioural questions where I had to describe a time when I a) had to be flexible in the work place etc.
In the group activity there were as many assessors in the room taking notes as candidates.
Good luck to all those attending future assessment centres. x
