Hey! Thank you so much! I've also passed to Freshfields second stage, and I know nothing about the timings of the VI's and the kind of questions they ask, and whether it is a SJT or WG within this second stage too. Do you have any insight/advice or tips?- annalise.joyn

You're welcome! Once you start the assessment, you cannot do it another time so you must complete it in one sitting. I did the vi first to get it done with (timed each so 3 minutes per q) then did the WG (not timed)!- annalise.joyn
