The group exercise is a collaborative task where you will work together as a group on a time-sensitive task. You will be presented with a scenario that requires you to make decisions and contribute your suggestions. As a group, you will review, discuss, and agree on what actions to take. You will then share these actions with the assessor, along with a brief explanation of your rationale.
You will present a 3-minute presentation to the assessor and a group of your peers. The topics will be provided to you at the start of the exercise, and you will be given time to prepare and deliver your presentation during the exercise time slot. The assessor will then ask you questions.
