Hi! Could I ask when you applied and when an invitation to complete the TW test was sent? I sent off my application on 30 November, and the portal still has not been updated (i.e., the date submitted remains the same).Hi does anyone have any insight on the TW test? Is it critical thinking? I can see it's no longer arctic shores (yay!) so just wondering if anyone had any insight into the style of test. thank you!

I applied 29th and mine is still the same, I’d imagine there’s a lot of us around the deadline they’re still working through
if an application question says 'tell us about a recent news article you found interesting' do i interpret this as commercial related? or something i can link back to the firm in some way?
Hey! I applied on the 27th Nov, my job portal still says 'reviewing all applications' and is dated 12th Dec. I received an email from Taylor Wessing inviting me to the test on the 12th December and received the link today for the 22nd. But yeah still hasn't updated on my portal so I'd keep an eye out on your emails rather than the portal
keeping my fingers crossed for you both!It’s essentially a WG, just slightly different (from memory they have “a fairly strong/weak argument and “a very strong/weak argument” with the evaluating arguments section). I think there’s a practice test they provide before you start and it’s identical to that.Hi does anyone have any insight on the TW test? Is it critical thinking?

It was honestly quite difficult and harder than a typical WG. Best of luck!

I wrote 200 words for some of the experiences last year and it was fine!
Sorry to hear that. That's very fast tho, considering their deadline is only 5 days ago
Anyone else have radio silence from CMS post WG who applied few days b4 deadline
Latham PFO for SVS.
Really gutted as felt it was one of my stronger apps.
This cycle has become really demoralising if I’m honest as receiving far more PFOs this time round than last year, even though substantially more research and effort is being put into applications. Ah well, onto the next one.

That’s exactly me right now. I’m being rejected faster than I’m making apps. Last Friday it was CC, now Latha, god knows which firm it might be next Friday 🤣 it would be nicer if law firms don’t reject us on a Friday afternoon and spoil our weekend
ohhh no that sounds tricky- thank you so much though!! would it be worth practicing WG style questions as well as the practice test they give you?
Rejected from a few firms this week and wondering where I'm going wrong. Last year my apps weren't the best, and I only progressed after the initial application phase for 3 firms, with only 1 final round interview. I applied for c.15 firms in total. This, despite an improved CV and (what I think) is a much better understanding of how to answer application questions, I'm currently receiving more rejections than last year, and still yet to progress past app. stage. My academics are reasonably good, 2 results in my firs year aside but I have mitigating circumstances for them, so I'm beginning to wonder if it's just not for me... I know it's competitive but lots of people on here seem to get past the first round at least. Any thoughts or experiences would be welcome- I'm looking to make an informed decision about what my (lack of) success tells me! Thanks
Keep going champ! It only takes one to click.
