    Just gone to do White & Case test and it's saying time run out but then it said thank you for completing the test. The 4 days since it being sent has not passed and I definitely have not yet completed it. What should I do??????

    Anyone know if White & Case or Milbank offer reasonable adjustments for their tests? *I know W&C is untimed but do they take into account e.g. neurodivergence

    Is W&C test automatic? How long after being sent do you have to complete it? Not sure whether to submit my app before xmas/new year or not?
