They give you a fairly general question and you write a response. It gets assessed for clarify of thought, story, logic as well as grammar. Honestly, pretty damn basic. Don’t overthink it.

I did this when I first started out of under grad. Just anchor to basic writing skills: intro, body (with 2-3 premises supported by evidence) and conclusion. They’re not looking for anything fancy, just make it coherent

Honestly writing is a critical skill and I'm glad it's being evaluated.

Maybe this format isn't relevant to the job, or 60 minutes might be overkill, but it's definitely in the right direction.

We would never do this at Deloitte. But I guess that’s what happens when you hire through companies that don’t have the number one talent experience

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
