real, arctic shores scored me so badly (and imo, incorrectly) like hello?? I have a bone to pick with those researchers 😂

Explain to me how putting shapes in a box or judging reaction times determines whether we will be a competent lawyer🤣🤣

SAME whatever firm I work for in the future needs to clock that if they allow me to use clacky ASMR stuff, I will stay glued to my workspace and be productive 😁 (half joking)

This literally drove me insane, like, I'm not a computer

😂 no clue haha, though I know that the reaction time thing is more so to see how adaptable you are when you make a mistake (how you recover). But like when will I ever need to judge someone's emotions based off an AI-generated version of their face (which excludes everyday body language and tonal cues?)

I got an email confirming I passed the following day after completing the test

In general, how long should it take to be progressed from a video interview to the AC. Does it take longer or shorter than written application progressing to SJT? Any insight would be massively appreciated

@SemperParatus Thanks for your reply. When did you complete the test? Can I also ask what your report says for each section ("Strength to leverage", etc)? It was the first time I was taking a WG test. Thank you.

Got jumpscaree by Kirkland. Applied 2 hours ago with an automated email then just got holding email, seems like it was a human the second time like Sidley? Since both use Cvmail

Genuinely holding emails are the most jarring thing. Always think it'll say something of substance.

Ah okay thanks. What did it involve?

It was a written case study, a client style role play interaction, Motivation/Comp questions with a partner and briefing a partner on a business case study. It was virtual as well.

Mayer Brown rejection post VI

 

[BealMcAlly]

Literally yesterday which is why I think it might be automatic but I'm still trying to savour some good news this cycle haha

Not sure it's automatic, I got a PFO last year, no VI or any tests.

That said, it may have changed since last year.

 

[BobThebIlly]

Anyone still waiting to hear from Gowling?

 

[jojo23]

This literally drove me insane, like, I'm not a computer

Every time something flashed on the screen, my finger twitched 🤣

All my years gaming wasted 😭

Okay cheers. I am still waiting to hear back about Bristol, as apparently they are inviting for ACs in January. Thanks very much.
