Practice, practice, practice will work 99% of the time. But it's worth refining your approach to problem solving for when a question is thrown at you and no answer immediately comes to mind. I can ping you some pointers - drop me an email at: sian.roberson@oxfordknight.co.uk

Good luck with your test!

Not at all - this is a purely technical team. Although you will be building the core platform that is used across the entire institution, this does not require knowledge of any financial products. In fact, a majority of the current team have come from non-banking backgrounds!
