Definitely not until next week and most likely the week after that so I’m choosing to forget about it haha

Mishcon said at their open day that they would get back to people about the next stage around mid december. Surely it will take way longer with how the test got delayed in being sent out? Or is that a stupid thought process
I'm rather disappointed that I didn't get invited for the next VS stage at Simmons.
I put a lot of time and work into that application over the last year, including working with a firm mentor through Aspiring Solicitors, attending three in-person office events in London and Oxford, and 1-on-1 calls with two different firm partners. My prep was solid.
The thing was... I am pretty sure that I was rejected for a low score in the maths test! It would be such a shame to fall down over something like that.

Welcome to the game, we hate it here
Same to all of what you just said- how did people find the MDR VI question after. My brain was so fried from staring at a screen for almost three hours I messed up so badly
I'm really sorry to hear that. The Mishcon test was one of my favourites so far!
Yes, it takes a long time. But I felt like I had much more control over things. The video section was short and simple, and not as stressful as others.
Mishcon really stand out from the crowd with the AI chat. I'd like to see more of that, but I know not everyone will agree.
Idek if I can even be bothered to do the test. I don’t wanna spend ages on something I’m going to mess up
It is literally impossible to tell how you've done. Just make sure you and your strengths shine through. It's a strange way of assessing people but they have to take some people through to the next stage and it may well be you, so do it!!
For those who did Mishcon test is it worse than HL test and FF test. I am thinking of applying for Mishcon but don't know what to expect from it like whether its worth putting my mental health through it to get that pfo. I did the HL test and that was the worst from allof the tests this cycle. I can provide advice for other firms in return.
From what I understand in the interview invite email, they contact the references before the scheme starts (presuming you get offered the wvs post interview) but you can start the scheme without it confirmed. I imagine it comes into play with tc determinations.
Hello!
I don't think it is necessary to write too much for this section! I would rate your skills overall in various software programmes that you have used, and provide a short explanation of what you can actually do. For example, whilst I'd make it personal and go into a bit more detail, you could write something like: "I'm comfortable using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and online research tools. I am confident in learning new software and managing digital files efficiently"
I would essentially use the question to describe what kind of programmes, tools or systems you are comfortable with using - I wouldn't stress too much over the question, and just be honest about your capabilities
