Hi

Does anyone know which type of SJT is given by law firms? I have purchased Jobtestprep subscription and it is giving me a pack of blended SJT tests from a company called SHL which has 8 management and 6 graduate SJTs. It also says one doesn't know in advance which type will be given , so I am assuming its best to prepare both. Any advice ?
Thanks

There are not standardised SJTs - these are typically more bespoke to each law firm (and actually any employer).

The questions will help you understand the type of scenarios you will be asked in SJTs, although may not be specific to law, unless the provider is suggesting they are law firm specific. So doing both sets is probably best to get a broader range of questions.
