Helloooo does anyone know how long the questions and prep time are, and how many questions there are for the VI in the Gateley assessment?

 

[aspiringsolicitor1234]

For people that have done the Dechert WE, I'm booked in for tomorrow but am yet to be sent anything to do with the exercise, do they send it all on the morning of the assessment?

when did you get your applicaiton in?

Did anyone not get a PFO from Sidley but also no reply for a AC/Interview? Because I don't know how to feel, like is it just a rejection and they forgot to like email me or is it like another waiting list? This is for the summer VS btw

Has NRF changed from a Telephone interview to VI this year?

Some of the Fladgate personality assessment questions felt like they were straight out of an NHS mental health self-assessment. It asked me to respond to statements like “I feel worthless” and “I often feel blue”. Strange 🫤

Yes, I thought the same! Surely nobody who's serious is choosing "strongly agree" for anything that unbelievably negative. Very bizarre.

should I give up on waiting out for a macs ac, seems like from this forum they won't be doing another batch soon 😩

If they haven't sent you a PFO yet, don't give up. I received a PFO already from Macs so if you weren't in the running they would have sent you the email already

Congratulations on being invited to the VI!!! If you don't mind me asking - when did you receive the invite? Also, is this for the summer VS or direct TC? Thank you

Thank you! I got the invite yesterday and it's for the summer VS

I am an over thinker so I usually request after the final outcome is given

First AC completed today! Bit of a mess as I messed up the in tray exercise + case study but my interview was great partly because I was pretty confident and started yapping on😭😭 not holding out as the competition is fierce with internal candidates in the mix too😓 onto the next AC tomorrow 💪
