[R1a01]

Congrats! What was your candidate score if you don't mind me asking?

I can't see it!

 

[NSinger]

I can't see it!

Ahhh not to worry! Well done on your AC, I am sure you will smash it

 

[LegalLordLox]

My score is still there? I applied to the London office.

 

[Kieran Tierney]

What is the score supposed to represent and what score has everyone else achieved? I have a score of 7?

 

[Deleted member 9602]

What did you guys score in the different sections?

 

[NadiaG]

[AspiringLawyer112]

Does anyone know what the flags are? I’m not feeling optimistic about my app!

 

[Sfernan21]

I scored 7 in total with 0 flags. As if the process wasn’t stressful enough...

 

[Preet]

I can’t seem to find where it says the scores?

 

[Preet]

Oh found it I got 7

 

[Sfernan21]

I can’t seem to find where it says the scores?

After you have logged in, look for candidate profile on the right hand side and scroll down.

Hi log into the application portal in the right hand side of the page there will be a link that says “access my candidate profile” - click on that

 

[Preet]

They’ve put 6+1 RARE on my notes section. Anyone know what that means

Are you a RARE candidate? Could be reference to that?

If I have to guess:

Commitment to law is dependant on your degree and work experience. For example, a law degree with no legal work experience would get a score of 2, and a non-law degree with legal work experience would also get 2, but a law degree and legal work experience would get you 3. Non-law and no legal work experience may get you 1.

Q1 is just a score of how well you answered the application question.

Overall presentation score must be the VI.

This is ALL speculation off the top of my head; take this with a HUGE pinch of salt.

My candidate profile shows no score at all

Hi for commitment for law I scored 2 and I have worked for x3 national law firms - the current one I am working for is top 45 - do not sure if it means that :/

I think the rest is pretty accurate though

Makes sense! Let’s hope we all hear tomorrow for piece of mind.

It may be the case that these scores are not relevant to the VI at all and are just in relation to the application form as @Kieran Tierney suggests. It says my application portal hasn’t been updated since late December yet I have the scores.
Regardless, I really do hope we hear back tomorrow so we no longer have to analyse such details 😅

For example ‘overall presentation’ could be in relation to how we presented/formatted our COVID-19 written application answer.
