From what I've heard the faculty welcomes are pretty crap and they just read generic crap off powerpoints. Campus tour is probably the most useful, but not essential if you already have friends who can show you around once uni starts. So yeah, definitely not worth going to unless you want to...

Re: Is it possible to be among the best without coaching? This is like saying mental illness does not exist, or that the person who's ill is to blame foe their condition.

I also struggled with this topic in year 12, but I think mainly it came down to silly errors or not reading the question properly. Once you look at the solution do you understand how to do the questions? If its a matter of not being able to apply your knowledge to different scenarios, just sit...

Youre not really asked to write a report, youre given a report and they just want to see that you can analyse it and draw conclusions from it. I cant remember the exact details but its really just a mini essay of sorts and I dont think it would be particularly challenging.

No sorry if I was misleading, but I was implying that as an exceptional circumstance. In most cases with the big 4 they will call you to let you know on the day of the interview, even as soon as an hour afterwards.

Sure thing, but again take my advice with a pinch of salt, because chances are they've changed up the interview process from last year. KPMG - Interviews: There are 2 interviews, one is with a partner & the other is with a manager. The interview with the partner is quite conversational, with...

Well since other people have theirs on Monday, I'd say probably. Don't let it get you down too much, ey offers much fewer interviews compared to the other big 4. & if you're really set on them you can always reapply next year.

Also the textbook allowance differs a lot between the big 4 firms.(but the cadet grant not as much) If anyone has a kpmg/pwc interview just give us a shout and I'll post tips/details specific to those firms

Based on my experience, (may have changed slightly), the interview day consists of: A morning tea where you talk to some accountants/partners (here you can pick out the pretentious kids trying too hard to make a good impression) Numeric and verbal reasoning tests (though maybe you did this...

I think the pressure of being a scholarship recipient places you and your daughter in a difficult position, because if from such a young age all she's been taught is to focus on studies, in reality she is missing out on other non academic learning experiences which will add more value to who she...

Pwc is the only one with a phone interview. But all 3 firms (pwc,ey & kpmg) will call you to let you know if you've received a face to face interview, so have your phone with you always/get voicemail! Pwc calls you a bit later because they have to process the phone interviews first probably (I...

Speaking from my experience as student from a top3 selective school who has never been tutored, I would say its definitely not essential to achieving high marks. The majority of students in my grade were tutored, but most probably did not need it, and I think its only really helpful if your...

My spiel in all my interviews was that I thought accounting experience was extremely important in understanding a business, which would help me in my aspirations to one day run my own business. Also its weird that ey used a personality test this year, I don't see how reliable/valid they would...

I prepared for this and all my other interviews by making a list of all my extracurricular activities and what I learnt from each one, so that I had plenty of examples to draw from when I was asked behavioural type questions (eg. When was a time you...) Keep it natural and conversational...

Just be prepared to answer all the typical questions, eg. Why are you interested in accounting, what do you think makes you suitable for a cadetship, how do you balance study and extra curriculars etc. & probably some behavioural questions, eg. When was a time you worked in a team, overcame...
