Hi everyone,

If anyone has done the Macfarlanes online assessment, please would you be able to give me an insight on what to expect?

Additionally, if anyone has any tips for SJTs, please let me know - I really struggle with them (even whilst following the advice of looking at what each specific firm is looking for in a trainee and taking the middle ground option). If anyone has any resources/advice, I'd be so, so grateful.

Thanks!
