Just did the Ashurst test. In the tests that were comparable to a wider group, my results were higher than 55% of others who took the test. I hear that you should really be hitting 70%+ to be considered for interview... Therefore, I am now definitely not too hopeful for an interview invitation!!- MizM

Has anyone taken the Ashurst online test? Is it something you can prepare for (WG style etc.) or is it more situational?- MizM

I second this question. I initially thought that there is no need to mention 'why Ashurst' in the cover letter as the 'How is Ashurst different to the other firms you have applied to?' question will cover this. However, I am not so sure... any advice??- MizM

This really resonates with me. I am from a similar background in that my family was made homeless around 8 years ago. This also coincided with failing me my a levels. But I stuck at it, gave it my all. I had a TC interview with Slaughter and May in October which unfortunately didn’t go my way. I...- MizM

Just had a browse of a previous application and I can see I have made some errors in the 'interests and achievements' section. Such errors included things like missing out words in sentences like 'a' and 'in' so the sentences lose a bit of their sense. Amateur stuff that. Safe to say I am...- MizM

Can I just 100% confirm that, for an online application form that asks for a cover letter to be pasted into a box, there is no need to include things like the firm's address, my address, a subject, and a date? Thank you!- MizM

It was just that normally when I do these tests I am quite certain on the answer. Whereas for this one there were multiple questions where I honestly thought it could go either way. Time was also an issue. There were practise questions but you had to complete them within the time allocated for...- MizM

Their website says something along the lines of 'do well at each stage and you will be invited to the next' - which suggests that they screen first. I could be wrong though- MizM

I cannot believe I missed this. I only submitted yesterday so just now I quickly changed it in the application portal as it still allows changes. Although, the portal still says 'updated on 6th Jan' - not today's date! Was I wise to change it or should I have just left it? I am definitely...- MizM
