The writing test was completely different in format to what my internet research had led me to believe. I had expected, and prepared for, an argument/opinion essay type question. In reality was asked to look over some fictional email correspondence and highlight errors/areas of ambiguity and suggest ways the email to the client could be improved. This all took me completely out of the blue. The test was followed by two 2:1 interviews, each with a partner and an associate. The first was competency based (my advice here is not to let their very informal and disarming manner relax you TOO much), the second was analytical (the famous commercial awareness). I had read a commercial awareness book before the interview which helped, but I would advise also reading a broad 'MBA replacement' text if you have the time.

Colloquio
Standard. Not too complicated. Chill. Well organised. But the case study was tough. Have to have good market knowledge. But prepared well, can pass. Good people and nice interviewers in general.

Well conducted and well guided. Interviewers were welcoming and explained every stage of the process well to ease us into the process. There was one non-technical and one technical round that basically tests your commercial acumen.
