High Verbal intellectWhat were your scores like for the WBD sjt. The test was similar to other ones I have done but my scores turned out to be very different.
Mine said that too but before that it said something along the lines of ‘although you were not successful at this stage…we want you to stay engaged with shoosmiths as we see real potential in you’. Did you get that too?Do you mean the bit where it says " Engage with us on social media (see links below) for firm wide news and legal updates which will ensure you maintain a high level of commercial awareness." - If not, then maybe you got a bespoke email rather than the generic pfo ...?
I really dont understand how they score these tests. I dont think they accurately reflect the options I selected.High Verbal intellect

I think it’s because you’ll still be considered for a TC if the email didn’t say you were unsuccessful with both (I saw someone in the forum who had that) so stay engaged as in “you’re still in for the running for a Training Contract” 😊Got a reply from Shoosmiths for the discover placement. The email said that they want me to stay engaged with Shoosmiths as they see potential in me. Does this mean I might be invited to the AC, or is this a general thing they say to all applicants?
Of courseWell done! May i ask what your strength & weakness was in the feedback report, if you dont mind?😊

That makes sense, thank you for clarifying😁I think it’s because you’ll still be considered for a TC if the email didn’t say you were unsuccessful with both (I saw someone in the forum who had that) so stay engaged as in “you’re still in for the running for a Training Contract” 😊
Do you know if you can definitely reapply within the same cycle? I haven't been able to find anything on their website which says one way or the other but that might just me! I'd also be interested in applying again if possibleI didnt make it past the WG stage for RPC. Will it make sense if I apply for their direct tc?
Medium Verbal, High numerical - crazy because I’m dreadful at maths. Previously it’s been the other way around.What were your scores like for the WBD sjt. The test was similar to other ones I have done but my scores turned out to be very different.
I think this better than M&R results. They’re torturing me at the minute with the waiting time.Medium Verbal, High numerical - crazy because I’m dreadful at maths. Previously it’s been the other way around.
7477 - applied intellect is my weakness.
Not a terrible showing.
VIs weren’t fantastic.
No I did not...Mine said that too but before that it said something along the lines of ‘although you were not successful at this stage…we want you to stay engaged with shoosmiths as we see real potential in you’. Did you get that too?
That was the same for me! 😂 Congratulations on the offer!Of course
Strengths: open connector, effective communicator.
Weakness: personal responsibility
I got that tooMine said that too but before that it said something along the lines of ‘although you were not successful at this stage…we want you to stay engaged with shoosmiths as we see real potential in you’. Did you get that too?
I think we’ll have to agree to disagree!I didn't say you need legal experience. I said the competition is people with strong extra curricular, society exec positions, university prestige and strong grades. The suggestion of being a paralegal was if she has since graduated uni or doesn't have enough time left to really adopt these factors, legal experience for a year would provide the most direct and available chance to make up for not being involved enough at university. She could equally go and become an accountant for a year, but this may raise questions in the interview that are easier avoided. She may also work stocking shelves, but again, this puts her at a disadvantage in the current climate of fierce competition.
I will have to check. I think we can apply.Do you know if you can definitely reapply within the same cycle? I haven't been able to find anything on their website which says one way or the other but that might just me! I'd also be interested in applying again if possible
Did it at least say that there’s more spaces on the AC? Really confused as I thought everyone got the same rejectionNo I did not...
Perhaps that means we’ll get an AC?I got that too
Got the same. Still in for the tc.I think it’s because you’ll still be considered for a TC if the email didn’t say you were unsuccessful with both (I saw someone in the forum who had that) so stay engaged as in “you’re still in for the running for a Training Contract” 😊
I had this as well!Mine said that too but before that it said something along the lines of ‘although you were not successful at this stage…we want you to stay engaged with shoosmiths as we see real potential in you’. Did you get that too?
