    I applied to Gibson Dunn on the 31st of Dec and haven't heard back yet. Does anyone know if they've started sending interview invites for apps submitted towards the end of Dec?

    Good morning! I hope you're well. What do you think is the best way to prepare for the situational strengths test? Is there anything in particular we could do such as practice tests for example to pass this stage of the recruitment process? Thank you very much! Hamaaida
