most law firms say its automatic but I did a test for another law firm and they never did give me the adjustments for the VI, since it was the same time as my friend who did not have adjustments hence why I emailed Freshfields to confirm. I don't want to begin the assessment then realise midway...- annalise.keating

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.keating

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.keating
