    Has anyone heard back from Bird & Bird post VI for summer scheme yet?

    So I did my first VI last month and it was atrocious. I stuttered, I blanked - everything you can imagine to go wrong went wrong. However, I have done 3 since then and they just get better every time. Honestly the more you do, the more confident you'll get, and I'm not someone who is necessarily...

    This is a silly question, and I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I just got an outrageous percentile score in a WG test feedback so I just need to ask. 🤣 Your percentile compared to the group means that you performed better than that percentage of people right? For example, 70th percentile...

    Self-fund SQE prep course vs wait for TC offer

    Thank you so much, Jessica, that’s a perfect answer and has answered my questions really well! I will definitely hold fire for now then and cross my fingers for these applications.

    Self-fund SQE prep course vs wait for TC offer

    Hey everyone. I have found a few topics around this but none with my exact situation. I am a final year mature non law student and am currently in my first VS/TC application process. Ideally I want to start my SQE prep ASAP so probably in Sept 2022 as that is when BPP and University of Law...

    That second Reed Smith email got me teased thinking it was another VI for a different firm 🥲

    I haven't but only submitted mine last week so guess I have a long wait ahead of me. Although my least developed strength is apparently learning agility so not too optimistic. 😅

    Very strange situation for me. Just got a WG invite from Akin Gump but just checked my application and realise both my work history and my answer to one of the application questions didn't save on my application! Have I somehow passed the app stage even with missing info and I should just leave...

    It's not WGT - as @Hele25 said it's more about speed of thought and problem solving.

    Thanks, I missed that and you are right. Annoying because I smashed that test. :rolleyes:🤣

    I passed the WGT on 15 Oct so in the same boat but I think I'm correct in saying the deadline is midnight tonight so they should start reviewing after then? Also does anyone know if our WGT score is taken into account along with our application when progressing us to the AC?

    Hi guys. Bit of a niche question but I feel so much more confident with a beard! Would most firms care if on a video interview I had a beard or is it a clean shaven only kind of deal?

    Hey George, thanks so much for that. It's great to hear that you got to retake one, fingers crossed for similar for me! All I can do is wait I guess. :)

    I just absolutely tanked in the Irwin Mitchell VI :( My final answer didn't even save it seems - it just says that I ran out of time to answer. I've emailed them but I doubt it'll make a difference. Good luck to the rest of you and on to the next one I guess..
