Has anyone heard anything from A&O post-AC for Direct TC?

Not yet but haven’t seen many updates on the forum for either TC or VS

Firldfisher online assessment email - is this automatic? Took them a while so not sure.

they would follow bank holidays, they wouldn't close doors fully, albeit things will be slow as many are off on holidays themselves

Has anyone NOT gotten the fieldfisher online assessment?

I don’t think it’s offices will close entirely but people maybe off over the Xmas break if you are waiting to hear from individuals at the firm.

Any more updates about S&M TC?

How long are we given to prepare and answer questions for CMS VI? I recall in previous cycles people saying it was 60 seconds. Is it still the same?
