Latham and Watkins Vac scheme, can I take a break between the SJT and Video?

I submitted my L&W vac scheme form a few days ago and I finished the SJT. Apparently the online assessment isn't timed but they recommend finishing in one sitting. It directed me to another start page for a 5 minute video assessment. I accidentally closed the tab and when I tried to open the test again it opened to the start page again. Could I take a break for the night and finish the video part of the assessment tomorrow?

Hi, did you find out the answer?

Also, I submitted the L&W vac scheme application and in the confirmation email, they only mentioned an online behavioural assessment/ simulated pro bono case. No mention of a video interview... Am I mistaken?

They don’t talk about the VI on their website but they do have one at the end of the SJT.
