    It takes exactly one week to get a feedback report after you do the test ( it’s mentioned in their assessment invite email too)! If it’s been a week and you haven’t received one, I suggest you email grad rec to check this and also check on the all hires portal if you 100% submitted the test :)

    Think it went ok, it was just basic SJT and a small section consisting of Watson Glaser ques - can’t really judge these sjt’s feedback reports much because one might think they did really well and the firm might think it wasn’t up to the mark or vice versa😢 My strengths were - open...

    I would prefer to do spring but I am being a bit hopeful about the shoosmiths spring vac scheme (discover placement) (Going to be heartbroken if it’s a rejection post final stage😭) as the dates clash with SH spring scheme.

    does SH on their application form ask whether we want to apply for the spring or summer scheme. Had a brief look at the form and don’t think they ask?

    Nope, so once you finish the sjt part, there is a video in which there is this person saying that you won’t receive your feedback report and your assessment won’t be submitted until you finish the written assessment on the next page. In order to receive the report you need to finish the whole...

    No problem at all, it’s also an amberjack test So ofc there’s that bar marking for applied numerical and verbal intellect (I was placed at the middle of the bar for both) The main categories are (all marked out of 10) 1. Clients (I got a 7/10) 2. Firm (6/10) 3. People (7/10) It’s the same...

    @elsx hii, I have given the assessment and can confirm that there were 2x500 words ques you had to write in the text box they provided. You will get unlimited time for this. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t mention it in their email but it had been given in the test. Best of luck :)
