I went to the open day - they said they don’t record you - you can switch the camera off. Yesterday I was looking for the button but couldn’t find it haha but then manually switched it off and was able to still complete it. They only record you to verify you and then for the interview at the end.

oh!! that’s embarrassing then why did they even have that if it wasn’t recording you ?

I actually just finished the Mishcon test and found it very enjoyable though long. It wasn't as bad as I was dreading. Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back?

Has anyone received Gibson PFO? I've seen few people progress to interview stage and offer, haven't been progressed but haven't received a PFO either, can they just put me out of my misery.

It is recording! They don’t access it as a firm but Bright Network have the recording and report anything weird to them according to the early Careers team. So like if someone was to switch their camera off, or the person changes who is taking the test halfway through or speaking to someone else kind of thing. But I think it’s still all very new so they haven’t fully figured it all out yet!

I still haven’t heard, have you?

Nope
