For Mayer Brown, can I take a break between the SJT and the verbal reasoning test? I just finished the SJT and have yet to click start on the verbal reasoning. But if I come back later to finish it and not close the page, will it still be there? Or will some timeout thing happen?

You can come back later as I remember it

umm...

I feel like nobody gets a true reflection of their performance in these tests. I got high in verbal and numerical and 6 in clients, 4 in the firm and 5 in people. Not sure what to make of it rlly

Literally same

 

[elektrajenkov]

The wait to hear from SH for Spring is literally killing me. I just want a decision so I know if I can go on holiday earlier or not at this point 🤣

Completed the Mayer Brown job sim at the beginning of Jan - safe to assume PFO??

What were the sorts of questions for the video interview part?

Have you tried emailing them to see when you will hear back. That might be a wise idea.

Yes I already have. She said we would hear by end of last week and I haven't heard of anyone hearing yet. As per the most frequent advice I see for not hearing back on time on here, I plan on emailing again towards the end of this week if we don't hear anything to allow for delays

I got a 9 in clients, 5 on Firm and 4 for people.

High on both numerical and verbal

 

[DieHard]

Have you provided the information for conflict checks?

yes

 

[kmo20]

Is there any point in contacting a firm if they have not got back post-AC? They said they would get back last week but still haven’t heard anything.

 

[Ajkajk101]

Ah thats good! I seem to be so terrible at these tests, expecting a PFO sadly

 

[Jessica Booker]

yes

This can take time, so I wouldn't necessarily worry about this. If you are concerned, you can always email the recruitment team and ask what the timescales are likely to be for any formal paperwork so you can ensure you keep an eye out for it.

Wait until the end of this week. It is only 1 working day after their deadline and there can be a whole host of reasons why something is delayed by a few days. I would only follow up the end of this week or early next, unless you need (rather than want) an update.
