Is the Ashurst direct TC deadline at midday or midnight?

I think it is midday

If I just got my Ashurst tests and they've said I have 3 days to complete them then will it expire at 1:30 on Monday? or the end of that day/sunday

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

When you open the link, it sends you to the portal to find the actual link. It gives you your exact deadline in the portal I think!

I HATE games tests

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

are there more firms that will open for direct TC apps which aren't on the lists that are out?

Has anyone applied to Browne Jacobson? I'm slightly confused about their application process

They website implies that the links to online tests are automatically sent out when the application is submitted (to be considered in combination with the application) but the email I received when I submitted my application doesn't mention any tests. It says they will shortlist applications and contact applicants who reach the next stage

Does this mean the tests are only following a successful application? It seems unlikely because the questions asked in the application are fairly limited. Anyone else in this situation?

How important are the Cognify test results in the Ashurst application process? I feel like I got a lot of them correct but also made a lot of mistakes, especially when making quick calculations in my head

The only one you can plan for is the values one.

Say you care about D+I and don’t about money I guess

Does your email say, next stage is AC?

Any tips for the online strengths-based assessment will be much appreciated.

Hello,
I hope everyone is well. I have received an invite from Shoosmiths for an online strengths-based assessment. I have never appeared for one, and I am a little nervous; any tips or guidance will be appreciated.

Hello everyone,

Is the Arctic Shores test equivalent to the Revelian Aptitude Test? I am so confused!

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

I got the invite to a test yesterday which had to be completed by Monday: the email said to contact grad rec before taking the test if you get adjustments, which I do, but no one will be back in the office until after the deadline has lapsed so what do I do? The email also says no extensions will be granted.

The email also says no extensions will be granted.

I am sure they will be able to take this into account given no one is able to respond to the reasonable adjustment request and will be able to extend the deadline in these instances.
