Thank you so much for your kind words, Avni. So reassuring to hear that I am not alone in my thoughts, it's easy to forget this sometimes!The wait is the worst! I felt so anxious in the weeks and months leading up to the outcome of my applications. I didn't have the same scheduling stresses as yours, but I can completely empathise as I had to do my applications and interviews to UK time while being in India, which meant that the panic of missing deadlines or scheduling interviews at weird times of the day in India was really stressful.
Patience is indeed a virtue, but please vent any stresses you have so that you're not burdened by them- we're all here for you! I hope you hear back sooner than you think- I'm rooting for you!
I did mine last thurs so have waited 8 days. Will send an email or call them on monday if i've heard nothing as will have been 10 days. From chatting to people I know apparently they tend to take 7-10 days.
Simmons WVS PFO. Last year I trailed off in the middle of two answers in the VI and made it to AC. This year, I thought I did well but didn’t pass.
Honestly, I’m reaching the point where I cannot understand what GR is looking for. I have good relevant experiences, a decent education, follow all the advice here and generally out there, get my applications checked, but I’m not getting anywhere. There doesn’t really seem to be a technique to crack, now it just feels like a lottery.
Ugh sorry for the moaning!

Anyone else done a Capp assessment and scored very contradictory strengths and weaknesses?
They're kinda bs imo - i always get different results everytime i do these lol
If its a Watson Glaser then it is a standardised critical reasoning test. There would be no personality elements?
Clifford Chance grad rec has a good practice one, as well as The Lawyer Portal which gives tips and explanations for the answers
A bunch of firms have links to practice WGs on their grad rec pages - can't remember exactly which but off the top of my head I think Clifford Chance, Linklaters, A&O and White & Case(?) should have them
Through to the NRF WVS AC!! If anyone has been through the process before, any tips or advice would be much appreciated
Was this for the summer or spring scheme?
And if you don’t mind me asking, what were your strengths in your report ?
You're not alone at all! Please let me know if you need any helpThank you so much for your kind words, Avni. So reassuring to hear that I am not alone in my thoughts, it's easy to forget this sometimes!
Hi there, so I have A*AC and I constantly worry about the C - I know it's a bit better than ABC, but it still makes me worry. However, it has never held me back - I've had ACs with Baker McKenzie, A&O, Mayer Brown, King & Spalding and a couple of others and not once did they ask me about it. I think the key is to really sell yourself in your application and prove what you can bring despite some A-level grades say about you. As you said, you've done well since, so it is just a case of persevering. After all, to be blunt, there's not anything you can do now - so just prove yourself in other ways. Good luck!
