    I applied to Simmons & Simmons Vac Scheme 2 days ago, their deadline is today but it says on the email that I have 10 days to complete the online blended assessment, is it okay to assume that I still have the 10 days as they have not stated that this needs to be completed prior to the deadline?

    I have been invited to Bird and Bird AC. So far there is very little information about what the day might consist of.
