I went for my second stage interview at BAT, British American Tobacco today. It's very tough... i sat for three papers. All papers are equally tricky and really drill your brains out.
The paper i sat is similar with all the MSC status company(this is what the HR person told me la), so if anyone out there are going for a MSC status company for interview, here is some tips:
1st paper ) Economic + Finance + Managerial math question. Few graph and table are given at a page behind the question booklet but it is printed in an unorganized manner ( I think to make u even tougher) . All the question have to refer to the graph or table and there are 5 or 10 option of answers. Total if question if not mistaken is 30 question and 30 minutes to do. Trust me, u only have the time to read once and understand everything and answer the question, if not u do not have time to finished it.
2nd paper) English understanding skill- around 12 short comprehension question with 5 statements each comprehension and three answer to choose. A) the statement is true B) Untrue C) can't tell (the comprehension doesn't have enough evidence to show it's true or untrue)
The time given only 20 minutes.
If you pass the 2 paper, then only able to sit for the 3rd paper.
Essay question paper but it's case study and opinion type of questions. 2 question, 20 min in total. U really need to write fast and think fast... that's all i can say... cus i also forgot what have i writen. haha...
The best part is this is not the end of the interview, it's just 2nd stage. there are 2 more stage to go...wohoo...
Good luck to everyone who is looking for jobs and going for interview... Hope every one could get what they want too...
