Assessment centre practice before you walk into the room
Group exercises, case studies, presentations and aptitude tests, usually across a full day, usually with no idea what any of it involves until you arrive. Assessment centres are the least prepared-for stage of the whole process.
Included for every user. The whole journey is free; Pro adds higher limits and Writing style.

In short
tiero's Assessment Centre Practice prepares you for the two exercises that turn up at almost every UK graduate assessment day: the group exercise and the presentation. For the group exercise it builds a prep pack for the specific employer and role, with your introduction, what assessors look for and how to contribute. For the presentation it helps you pick an angle, then builds the slides and speaker notes to your time slot. It exists because assessment centres are the stage most graduates arrive at with no preparation, and most tools stop at the CV or the interview.
Almost nobody prepares for the assessment centre
There is a strange gap in how graduates prepare. Enormous effort goes into the CV and the cover letter, some into interviews, and almost none into the assessment centre, despite it often being the final filter before an offer and the stage with the most people competing in the room.
Partly this is because it is hard to practise alone. You cannot run a group exercise by yourself, and the format varies by employer. So people turn up having read a blog post, and discover that a group case exercise is scored on things they had not considered: whether you brought someone quieter into the discussion, whether you tracked the time, whether you actually answered the brief.
It is also the stage where the scoring is least intuitive. Dominating the discussion feels like leadership and usually scores badly. Saying little to avoid mistakes scores worse. Knowing what assessors are marking changes how you behave more than any amount of general confidence.
How it works
Start from the application
Open assessment centre prep from the role on your board, so everything is built for that employer and that job.
Prepare the group exercise
Get a prep pack for the group exercise: an introduction drawn from your own experience, what assessors are marking, and how to contribute without steamrolling the room.
Pick your presentation angle
Choose the argument your presentation will make, from suggested angles or one you write yourself.
Build the slides
tiero drafts the slides and what to say on each, sized to your time slot. Rewrite any slide until it sounds like you, then say it out loud.

Common questions
Usually a half or full day combining several exercises: a group discussion or group case exercise, an individual case study or written analysis, sometimes a presentation, often aptitude tests, and frequently an interview. Assessors score you against a competency framework across the whole day rather than on any single exercise.
