At this point for KN I’m kind of bracing myself for PFO bc it’s been longer than they usually take, but did anyone get a screening call invite in the end?

if i submitted my Reed Smith VI/Assessment on Wednesday and still haven’t heard anything back about written questions, is it a PFO?

I wouldn’t assume rejection, what scores did you get on the assessment?

For those who have applied for Ashurst, are we eligible to apply for the winter vacation scheme this year? Is it considered to be a different recruitment window?

I hate Amberjack... Somehow scored 'Low' on the verbal reasoning test for Stephenson Harwood. I scored high in that category in every prior amberjack and do not know what went wrong this time. Rest of the scores: 6/6/6/9 and mid for numerical. VI went well. How cooked am I? Shame, I really liked SH.

How do the Amberjack scores work for grit/creativity/applied intellect/digital mindset? I have somehow scored lower on SH assessment than for BM?
