Hi J! I am well, thank you, and I hope you are too!
Of course, I can offer some general insights into how I found the assessments.
SJT
In terms of the SJT, this was relatively similar to the many others you may complete during an application process. The best advice I have seen for tackling these assessments was from
@ZNadeem here, so I would keep those points in mind when dealing with the SJT questions. For the verbal and numerical intellect section, I always made sure to not rush, and have a pen and paper to hand, as I found it really helps to be able to jot down my working out as I went along.
Don't panic if you think you scored lower than expected in the pillars or the verbal / numerical reasoning sections. I remember worrying that my application wouldn't progress after scoring 6446, but it turned out fine. This just shows that they assess your application holistically, not just on one section!
Interview Process
The interview itself was a mix of different styles of questions, including motivational and commercial. I would prepare for the Paul, Weiss interview as you would prepare for most commercial law firm interviews - make sure you know 'Why Law', 'Why X Firm', and 'Why Me' - and take some time to go over your CV and application. The interview experience itself was engaging and interesting, and I would say that if you have done your research into the firm and can relate your own experiences to different scenarios, you'll do well!
I hope that answers your questions - best of luck with your Paul, Weiss application!
