if they didn't specify you might have passed the WG test but get rejected based on your application.

When I requested to see my WG result, they confirmed that I actually...- Yminh

Commercial awareness resources: collated list of pros and cons
they don't categorise these topics by law firms unfortunately. As @Hazal pointed out it is dependent on what topics they decided to cover and which firm participated in the interview.

Herbert Smith Freehills Online Assessment?
there's no diagram. if i remember correctly there's 12 situational judgment questions, 12 verbal reasoning and a series of personality questionnaires. the test is not time limitted but is time recorded --> take as long as you need but I think they factor the time taken in the final result. Hope...- Yminh
