How do I prepare for an assessment centre?

ACs always test these core competencies: analytical thinking (case studies), communication (presentations, role plays), teamwork (group exercises) and stress resistance. Preparation: 1) Practise logical reasoning tests (e.g. SHL, Kienbaum samples), 2) Have one STAR story ready per required competency, 3) Know business case structures (profit pools, market size estimates), 4) Analyse feedback from previous ACs.
