    You mean just post-app? Or post-app and verbal reasoning test? Submitted the verbal reasoning test on the 16th and radio silence since. Assume now it's PFO since the invites for AC have been sent a week ago or so :(

    Sorry about OC, but congrats on passing to the next stages with other firms! May I ask I did you decide to apply to OC direct TC instead of the VS?

    Haha! I think I've done the same mistake as you! Submitted the application even before thinking that such option could exist 😅 Will know the future though!

    haha! Thought the same thing! Would be lovely to know though if they do it in batches or that's it. My guess is that it might be it, since they gave out the invites last week. But lets see! *fingers crossed*

    Absolutely! Feel that all the time, especially at work when I have to speak up, in my head I know exactly what I want to say and the words to use but when I start talking I stumble because I overthink 🥲

    Yes, that's the verbal reasoning test. Watson Glaser is the critical thinking test and I think it is at the next stage of Osborne Clarke application.

    Are you talking about Verbal Reasoning Test (which is straight after submitting the application) or Watson Glaser test? I understand they are 2 different tests. If it's Verbal Reasoning Test then it's standard 19 mins for 30 questions

    The question specifically asks about the recruitment process, so I think you should focus on that.

    Those who applied to Osborne Clarke VS - could you please let me know whether you received the link to the verbal reasoning test straight away?

    The deadline for completing the verbal reasoning test is 23.59 on 16 January 2024 - so a day after the deadline of the application itself

    Does anyone know if applying closer to the deadlines of VC affects being selected? In particular interested in VC at Osborne Clarke. I know some firms do "first come first served basis", does Osborne Clarke do the same? Thanks!
