Just been rejected from Hogan Lovells, following an assessment centre. Definitely the toughest one yet!!
Don’t lose faith!! I too was rejected last year but the feedback helped me gain two vacs! Make sure you get the most from the feedback call and you’ll have something soon enough I’ve no doubt!! :)

How did you find the test? :)
The test was alright, I didn't have my expectations too high based on what everyone was saying and when I actually took it I think I would only be concerned about not doing brilliantly on it if I were really good at maths or could see and register everything appearing on the screen quickly (the two tests involving maths). think I can only try to do my best for it which I did so I'm not too bothered :D

has anyone gotten a response after doing the test for Ashurst at all ? I did the test in October and haven’t heard back. I haven’t really even heard of anyone getting rejected post-test tbh.

Agree, the maths tests were straightforward and yet still difficult as bubbles were popping up left, right and centre haha! It was a very odd test, haven’t come across this type before.

Yeah we did our best. Good luck !

Nothing yet, they said they will be letting everyone know after the deadline which was the 5th Jan.

I do know some people who received rejections (but this was for the winter VS)
