KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME
- Thread starter Oroma
- Start date
I have received one too - the email gives no indication of a successful application so I imagine it is just part of the process but not too sure as it is almost two weeks after the deadline!
Hey,
How did you find it?
Also, I have read that some law firms who use the SST don’t take it into consideration really within a candidate’s performance, it is just there to assess their personality. Do you think this is the same with Kennedys?
I haven't done mine yet, still doing some practices and getting familiarised with the Cappfinity format (which is the one that Kennedys uses). From my research, it seems that Kennedys uses the SST to further shortlist candidates for the video interview. It could be that they want to test whether your responses align with their values and competencies that they look for in trainees, and then from there, they will decide whether you progress to the next stage (video interview).
Hope that helps! I'm not really certain myself, still trying to figure applications out at this point
They’ll get back in a few weeks with your outcome and if successful, information about the next stage. How was your feedback report?
It was okay I think. I scored the highest on three strengths but scored the lowest on one strength.
Anyone else done the SST and got a feedback report?
Hey
I did the SST on Thursday and haven't received any confirmation that they got my test or a feedback report - does anyone know if this is unusual?
I didn't get an email confirmation after I've done the test to be fair!
I'm sure you will get a feedback report shortly.
I just read the invitation email again and it does say they will send us our results and then hear after a couple of weeks if successful.
"Please expect an update on your application within the next couple of weeks, once your results are received. If successful, the next stage of the process will be a video interview."

I found it quite hard as it was confusing but I've just done my best as in my opinion I don't think there's anyway I could have practiced or prepared for it.
It definitely took way longer than 1.5 hours for me! It's not timed either so you can take a break and go back to it if you feel you are losing focus.
Good luck with it!
It’s a strength test so a genuine test to see if you match with the firm! Nothing to worry about and no sort of practice is really necessary. Part of the test there’s done critical reasoning. Maybe you could practice some Watson Glaser but even if you don’t you’ll be fine. Just be honest and genuine.
Because the email says give yourself atleast 1.5 hours. Although it’s not timed, I don’t know why my instincts tell me to stick to 1.5 hours. I think I spent less than that. I’ve gotten my feedback report too and now waiting to see if I’m successful or not. Goodluck!
