DAC Beachcroft critical thinking test invite!

Congrats! When did u do your VI?

Hi @Jessica Booker, I received an invite to do the Freshfields WG test which also contained a link to do a practice test. I clicked on the link to check whether it was working and closed the window after. When I try to access the practice test now, it doesn't let me do it. Do you think it would be detrimental to ask the recruitment team to send me a new link to the practice test? In case it may showcase me as not having attention to detail or another competency required for a lawyer.

Hey - I opened the link and it showed, I had already filled the form - which was strange.

Has anyone taken the Freshfields actual WG test and has any advice?

 

[JasmineM9]

Any news from Latham?

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

If you can’t access the Freshfields specific practice test you could use other practice tests instead before doing the actual WGT. I have quoted a post by @Andrei Radu that has some listed examples below which I hope could be useful.

Thank you very much!

Morning all!

Do we think Goodwin will start getting back to us this week (post VI for DTC)? Starting to feel quite impatient as I’m not having much luck elsewhere 😭

Has anyone that applied to Curtis recently heard back? I submitted my app 2 weeks ago and now it’s 5 days past deadline, no confirmation email or anything. I understand that they don’t inform unsuccessful applicants, has anyone been succesful?

Did you receive an automated email response? I think that’s the confirmation.

I applied in late November and haven’t heard anything, but I believe they are non-rolling. If they only started reviewing 5 days ago people might not hear back for a while

No I didn’t receive the automatic email response either, did you? Also fair enough it might be too early

Ahh maybe it went to your spam?

I got one that said “Thank you for your email and interest in Curtis. We will be in touch with all successful candidates in due course.”

Has anyone heard back from Linklaters Direct TC? Any ideas when they will hold their ACs?

lit no idea what theyre doing sitting on the apps. most likely a lot of people didnt pass their test. i wish they could atleast put that bunch out of misery and take their own sweet time deciding on the remaining candidates.

Anybody heard from Freshfields today?

Congrats! When did u do your VI?

Thanks, and I did it on the 19th January

 

[kokoprep]

hey has anyone taken the freshfields test?

 

[LawJ]

Has anyone heard anything back from Hill Dickinson?

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

I was doing the Freshfields WG and had not muted my notification so I received a call in the middle of my test which I immediately clicked to hang up on. However, now I am worried whether the anti-cheating measures may think that I was using another app and may disqualify me?

 

[aspiring solicitor 015]

Anyone who still has not heard back from Freshfields?
