I do not know because I get so confused..so, I always do it asap. Better be safe than sorry

Yeah, fair enough.

My brain is fried too 😅 good luck!

Is it part game based part standard WGT? The email references an aptitude part but not sure if this means standard questions or is just part of the ‘game’!

 

[LEL]

Has anyone done the Mayer Brown job simulation yet?

 

[Imababysolicitor]

Has anyone received a WG from Weil yet? If so, how long after you submitted your app?

I don’t want to give too much away. Have you ever completed the pymetric test for WBD? It’s very similar in style - brain agility/processing speed. Good luck!!

It's not WGT - as @Hele25 said it's more about speed of thought and problem solving.

I would still apply. I submitted an application to them last year on the deadline day and still made it to the assessment centre. Plus it is only one question and CV

What kind of VI questions were you asked if you don't mind me asking? Was it why MB/ why law or more competency or scenario questions?

 

[rose0904]

Received an invite for the next stage of Simmons' process this morning. Does anyone have any advice for the VI? TIA!

Do you think they timed it from when you clicked on the questions? Or straight after the walkthrough? I fear I spent too long on it, as I think they said it would take 45 mins...

Simmons and Simmons summer VS PFO earlier today, post-VI/WE

How long did it take you to do the test and is there a game that asks you to quit?

No problem at all - thanks for clarifying!

 

[lawpersongirl123]

Anyone received an AC invite for DLA? Or know when they'll get back to us?

 

[lawpersongirl123]

DLA PFO summer internship (london) - curious if anyone got through or have they filled all spaces?

Sorry to hear. When did you apply/complete your WG if you don't mind me asking?

 

[GXA123]

For Gowling, is it a test then VI then VS offer then AC? this is what I understood from their website, can anyone who is done the process before let me know! thanks

 

[Lawyerwithadream]

A&O PFO post- sjt!

Sorry to hear that do you mind me asking when you applied and did you initially pass the sjt?

 

[Asil Ahmad]

How long did it take people to complete the Linklaters Capp assessment I mean if I do it at 10PM will I be able to finish it before the deadline.
