The five things that matter most

  1. Assessment #4 eliminates. Accenture: "mandatory assessment. You are required to meet our sectional cut-off in order to proceed." The cut-off value is not published.
  2. It has a written email section — officially scored on Etiquette, Content, Grammar. Every prep site online says this section does not exist; they are describing a different test.
  3. Bad audio can mean no score at all, not just a low one. Wired headset, no Bluetooth, not the laptop mic, empty quiet room. This is the highest-value hour of preparation.
  4. Accent is not scored. Intelligibility, pace, pause placement and word stress are. Do not fake an accent.
  5. The interview is one panelist, ~30 minutes, the final round, decided on "overall performance". Four of its questions are known verbatim.

How to read the confidence tags

Tag Means
[CONFIRMED] 3+ independent sources, or stated by Accenture officially
[LIKELY] 2 independent sources
[REPORTED] 1 source, uncorroborated
[INFERRED] Reasoned from other evidence
[UNVERIFIED — model inference] Stated with no evidence

Two-thirds of the candidate evidence for these rounds is one person's recollection. The official Accenture material is solid; the candidate detail is thin, single-cycle, and comes entirely from people who passed. Where something is unknown, this library says so rather than filling the gap.
