    Feedback on Applications

    Thanks Jeysen. Same thought here! I wonder if my application was in the 'maybe' pile as they thought it was 'strong'. But oh well, onwards and upwards!

    BCLP this year offered some general feedback. Not sure if this is a stock email to all applicants or not... 'Although your application on the whole was strong, we felt that your application lacked in some of the following: • A very clear alignment to BCLP with a strong understanding of the...

    Hi there, HSF do not send a confirmation email to confirm you have completed the test. One way to check if you've completed the test is to click the test link again - it should say something along the lines of 'no assessment outstanding'. I heard back a week or so after I completed the test, it...

    Just got invited to PwC's video interview after their long (and intense) online tests! It says the interview will be an hour long and we will watch some videos... Anyone has tips to share? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Congrats for getting onto Shearman's Spring Scheme!! Really well done! I also just got a rejection from HSF lol... I am still waiting to hear back from Shearman's Spring Scheme though. I'm not banking on it as some of you have already completed AC and got offers?

    Hi Haylaw, I sat their Video interview in November last year for their Winter VS. There were about 5 questions based on the values they look for - look at their website http://graduates.simmons-simmons.com/en/why-us They basically had one question based on each of their value - Ambition...

    Which Law Firms use an Online Test? 2018-19

    Thanks Jaysen! The game-based test was very different to other law firms' tests (like Watson Glaser or SHL verbal reasoning). I found it very interactive and refreshing but at times could be quite intense as some games were not easy (and quite hardcore to be honest)! Given that I'm a gamer...

    Thanks so much, Katie! I've also done it and you're right - not particularly difficult and common sense goes a long way. For those who are wondering, there are 4 questions each assessing your thinking style, getting things done, solving challenges, and interacting with others.

    Which Law Firms use an Online Test? 2018-19

    Gowling WLG have a behaviour-based game test called Skyrise City (it's an app you need to download onto your phone or tablets). It's 10 games asking you to do different tasks with the last game being a logical/abstract reasoning test (very similar to the one for Simmons). I believe the score you...

    Hey guys! I just got invited to do a video interview for Gowling WLG's summer vacation scheme after passing their game-based behavioural test (which was very different). The email says 'it is a short interview to give you a realistic preview of the type of work we do at Gowling WLG and also...

    Hi both! Sorry to hear that, Sarah. I think Dentons' benchmark is 75th percentile. I heard from my friends that they heard back about a week after completing the test that they didn't pass it. Hope this helps!

    Thank you! When is your NRF interview? Just wondering how much notice they give you so that I'm mentally prepared. I had two days' notice for the AC I had with Simmons for their winter vac scheme last year...

    Hi there! I just got 2 emails from HSF saying that I have reached the benchmark on the online test and my application is under review. The first email just said my application is under review. The second one specifically said I reached the benchmark and is an (probably automated) email from...
