    Is this for after the WG? When I filled the form I couldn't see any section for work experience.

    Stephenson Harwood VS 2023-2024

    Have people heard anything from SH for summer vac schemes or is it complete silence? We're basically in June and not being able to plan ahead is a bit irritating.

    What did they tell you when you emailed them saying you already did the test?

    Is this for people applying to Dubai or has there been a next stage added to the London VS as well?

    I feel like the PFO's might be for people who elected for June but not July and we still have a shot for July. At least I hope so :)

    Whats the policy for law firms with chatgpt? I obviously don’t mean getting AI to write them. I mean more like is it a risk to put your essays into it for grammar and punctuation checks or would that make your applications be flagged?

    Nope but saw someone post a couple weeks back that they got an interview so assumed a rejection

    They're probably still reviewing apps. My deadline to complete the assessment was last week and the email they sent about the spring scheme suggested they had some issues within their recruitment team. Fingers crossed!

    Their website says 10 places are available on each scheme but they run 2 summer schemes so double the chances :)

    I got the same for verbal and numerical which I was surprised by usually I do a lot better in numerical. For the results mine are not great either. Especially getting a 4 on applied intellect got me a bit down but I also think you can't do really well on all 4 as your decisions need to lean...

    The SH assessment says it includes numerical & verbal as well as scenario based reasoning questions. I checked the practice test but wasn't sure what the best way is to prepare for it. Any advice? Also anyone who's already done it can you confirm its untimed? Thank you!
