I try to be very friendly (as this pillar also measures social skills) and don’t pick any option whose tone I don’t like considering The option I pick is also rational😭. It sounds weird but it’s worked for me!
For example - someone is not providing you with info you need this week -
A. Check their dairy, Set a meeting when they have time this week and obtain the info.
B. Set a meeting with them this week and figure out their working style preference and get to know them.
I would pick B!
A sounds like the better option considering they have asked how would you approach this situation to get info but it shows that the person is only considering getting the info important/ getting to know their colleagues working style to obtain info like this in the future not as important!
In amberjacks you can also kind of figure out what ques is relating to what pillar so I’d be mindful of that when picking the option with this approach. I’m sure you’ll ace it with some practice as it takes some tests to get a hang of it!

This made me smile sm😭❤️Radssss I have an e-book offer for you… “Acing a Mishcon SJT by Radssss”
I’ve done so badly on the first few in my first cycle that I can’t even tell you😭
Out of interest...what cycle is everyone on?
4th, got to one AC in my second cycle but was unsuccessful praying that this is my last cycle because I am drained 🥲
Same with me!!!! I was really happy w my application too, so I will be super disappointed if I am PFO'd
for a minute thought you were talking about the other kind of cycle....
2nd now. Last cycle was my 1st only made it to a single VI (Willkie). This cycle has been better for me so far (hopefully this is the year I get a TC).
2nd cycle - did a legal placement year in my 3rd year at uni (didn’t convert at that firm and it was also my dream silver circle firm as I flopped the ac at the end of the scheme). Started applying again in my fourth year at uni (no offers) which was technically my first cycle as I only applied to two placement scheme law firms in my second year, was lucky to get one offer!
Now applying as a recent graduate!
I’m an international so I have only two years left to get a tc as my visa will expire so also applying for other sponsored jobs to buy myself more time just incase!
Sorry for the rant, I was so heartbroken 😢
My HSF one last year wasn't (it was analysing a contract about a celebrity endorsement deal) and I don't think my Slaughter and May last year was one either (it was advising about a course of action for a business, I think an acquisition was an option but it wasn't the main focus).
I feel you guys cause I had a legal internship and was so proud because I knew M&A terminology just for neither of my case studies to really be that focused on it 😭
Side note: I fear communicating this to the world is about to send a flood to my inbox 💀
You’re already acing it!! You got this champ!first... i'm scared
Ooof for me either fourth or fifth (I lost count) I am a veteran:first... i'm scared
First of all- two nines is spectacular, well done honestly. Whether you're cooked I think it depends on the firm; what I mean is some might not care that you got a low score in one pillar unless its central to their business/everyday work. But you're top 3 in three pillars...I think you have more for you than against you 💪
