    You have a chance, there are many rolling firms I applied to last minute literally 2 mins before the deadline and was progressed (no formal legal work experience either).

    If this is for the vac scheme then I would probably assume PFO as I've seen ppl being invited for VI too. Also, I don't think the test is automatic (from what I read on the forum) but check your spam just incase.

    Does anyone know how many questions in the Kirkland VI? There is not information anywhere or how long you have to answer each question! Thank you in advance :)

    Yeah, it’s usually to see if you meet the minimum requirements before sending you the WG

    For NRF work experience section did you guys use prose or bullet points… The structure of the app is confusing, and I’m not sure if there’s a word limit :)

    CMS VI is genuinely the hardest one. Because they had such open ended questions with sm to cover in only 1 minute.

    I would say email the grad recruitment to ask. I got mine about a day after my initial app and I have a week to do it :)

    Which one? Because the critical thinking is automatic (after initial app) but the job simulation is the next stage.

    I think its more the Critical Thinking test at the end rather than the SJT section thats the real cut off :)

    I would say wait, because they consider both this assessment and the CAPP so you can’t for certain say you would get rejected based on the WG alone :)

    I remember that the ULaw has some case studies (since they did one for their Winter Vac Scheme) but I'm not 100% sure if its public access.

    I saw someone say they tell you if you got an AC a week or two before. So since there in January we probably won’t hear back till the new year 🙃
