Hello everyone, 

Has anyone applied to the OC&C associate consultant position in the UK? 
I recently received an invitation for an Applied test, and one of the question involves synthesizing and summarizing information while giving my opinion.

The questions I get are the following (specificity removed to not leak Applied content): 

"Please write an email to the team that answers the below 2 questions by summarizing key information from the expert notes. Please format your response as one bullet point for each answer to the below: 

• How has the overall market profitability changed and what is a key factor that has led to the change?

Please also include your opinion (with reasoning based on the interview notes) on the following question related to the interview topic. Please format your response as one bullet point:

• How would you expect [SPECIFIC ASPECT OF COMPANY]?"
   

I have a word limit of 250 words in total for both questions, and I'm curious about the level of freedom I have when expressing my opinion based on the interview notes. Is anyone familiar with how to approach this?

Thanks!
