    Does anyone have any insights on what written assessments entail and how to prepare (if anyone knows anything specifically for Bird & Bird that would be especially helpful)

    I’m not sure if it’s that some firms understand that it’s a minor mistake and won’t reject u purely on that basis, or if grad recruitment just didn’t realise, but I spelt Taylor Wessing as Tyler Wessing on mine and got to the next stage.

    I’m not sure if you’re 2nd or 3rd year, but I got 51% in first year. I decided not to do applications in 2nd year because I figured they wouldn’t be too competitive and focused on getting a good 2nd year grade instead. I’ve been applying this year and have progressed with a few firms so far...

    Mischon PFO. Bit of a weird one for me cause it wasn't a firm that's high up on my list, but I thought my answers were particularly good. Starting to think there's just more and more luck involved in getting past the application stage, specially since some of the ones I have gotten past I did...

    I'm not sure about how Weil does their VI invites but the one piece of advice I would give is to not try and predict your outcome on the basis of what you see on here.

    Bird & Bird had one firm related question and three competency based questions. I would just refresh yourself on the reasons you are attracted to the firm and then focus on writing out situations where you have demonstrated different skills (e.g., Teamwork/collaboration, working under pressure...)

    It is recommended to answer this. You can really talk about anything from competitions, awards, volunteering to extra curricular, and draw from the transferable skills you demonstrated/developed doing them.

    I attended an application workshop with Hogan Lovells and they said you should never be afraid of bragging (as long as it doesn't come off very obnoxious I imagine), the whole point of the application is to convey how great you are - so I think that would be fine.
