For fear of sounding like a broken record, but anything from Freshfields?
Anyone have any clue what an AC at McDermott Will & Emery entails? Anyone been through the process with them before?
Anyone heard from HL post WG, or K&S post-app ?
Just got a Freshfields AC invite.
To answer some of the questions I've seen on the thread, AC slots seem to be running until the 13th of March.
Best of luck to anyone waiting!

I'm not sure which batch number (so to speak), but if it helps I received my WG invite on Tuesday the 13th Feb.
FF pfo post WG.. (tue 13th batch).. i thought i cRUSHED it too goddamn 
wtf still heard nothing from FF :O
I'm sorry to hear that. For what it might be worth I honestly thought the Freshfields WG was a lot harder than the other assessments I've done, so I think we got hit with a difficult exam. I wouldn't let it affect your confidence re: other tests you might doFF pfo post WG.. (tue 13th batch).. i thought i cRUSHED it too goddamn
Congratulations! Did you just get the email or earlier?Freshfields AC
Hi Cynthia! Sorry, I don't know my score. Is there any way of finding out?
If it's of any help I did 2 practice tests that I found online, where I scored 75% and 82% respectively (if I am remembering that correctly). However, I found the Freshfields test harder so that may have impacted what score I got on this occasion.
