    Allen & Overy SJT

    I did my SJT on Sunday and still haven't received the automated response on whether I passed or not. However, my portal says my application is under review so I'm assuming I passed it. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks!

    Travers Smith Application - Bullet points?
