From what I've heard there is an amberjack and a VI beforehand.

For Mayer Brown’s.

Had 6/9 grit, 7/9 applied intellect, 7/9 creative force and 9/9 digital mindset.

What do you guys think?

Hogan Lovells PFO!

Is this for the London DTC after job simulation test?

 

[Irishman11]

Has anyone gotten a Hogan Lovells AC?

Has anyone heard anything from Stephenson Harwood, Ashurst or Baker McKenzie?

Nothing yet from all 3. Not heard from K&S either. Hopefully we will hear back from them soon…​

 

[choicefox212]

I still haven't heard from PHB, assuming that's a definite PFO?

Has anyone heard anything from Stephenson Harwood, Ashurst or Baker McKenzie?

Nothing from SH or Baker (I didn't apply to Ashurst)

 

[nonlawstudent98]

I still haven't heard from PHB or Withers, assuming that's a definite PFO?

I also haven’t heard from Withers yet but I’d say nothing is a definite PFO until it’s received! I feel like if they haven’t sent PFOs out yet then they might be sending tests in batches?

I literally this minute got a Withers test invite - fingers crossed all's well with you

Has anyone gotten a Hogan Lovells AC?

Nope. Did you?

Does anyone have any insights into the Mayer Brown online test/VI?

 

[shadowbaklava]

Does anyone know anything about the Withers Legal Proofreading Assessment? Is it recorded because I look a mess
