Are the inital tests for Mayer Brown (VRT AND SJT) automatic? I applied over a month ago and have been sent nothing. This is for direct TC. Would anyone suggets emailing GR team?

I am on the same boat. From what I gathered the tests are automatic, but they sent them out manually and they still havent finished recruiting for their summer vac scheme, hence the delay in sending them out.

I have just received it.
I also had been waiting a while.
Hopefully its good news for you both too.

Does everyone receive the tests?

Also any tips on completing the tests from anyone who’s previously done them?
