Hi, I don't think it needs to be completed before the deadline. You have 7 days to complete it after receiving the link.
I have just finished the Mayer Brown Test, and it is my first time doing the amberjack test, so unsure how to interpret the results. I scored 6s across the board, apart from the creative portion, which I got a 7. However, for applied intellect, I excelled in numerical reasoning, but there is room for improvement in my verbal. Is this good or bad? What is the passing threshold usually?
Hi! Thank you so much! I was feeling really anxious beforehand and thought I wouldn't perform well so was tempted to leave it till tomorrow, but ended up doing it today and felt better right after! This is for the summer scheme
.
for the linklaters online form is there somewhere to input school grades, it seems to just offer a page for 'professional qualifications'?

Has anyone done the Weil VI ? would appreciate your insights, can help with insights for most other firms or find some who may have insights on them. My deadline is quite soon so would appreciate any help.
Hi, just wondering if anyone has advice for the Willkie application.
The education section includes the question: 'Please add any supplementary educational information including extra study and international qualifications'
You are then separately asked: Q3 - Please tell us about your achievements and positions of responsibility. (500)
Do I need to write 500 words for the first question? Or just literally use it to factually qualify anything in my work experience section?

These are clearly two very different questions, and I feel like firms use both frequently. The first one is for you to explain anything in your education section, such as professional qualifications or international education. This section would be for you to list and explain.
The second question asks about particular achievements and positions of responsibility, not necessarily related to academics.
