    I’ve just finished Reed Smith’s assessment, and let me tell you, if being a solicitor means having that level of numerical reasoning, I might be in the wrong profession. I was so lost with those numerical questions. On the bright side, my verbal reasoning skills are top-notch, shining like a...

    We have already established THAT person did an insight scheme and was probably fast-tracked hahaha we all freaked out but it seems that nobody heard back post-WG Don’t worry, we’ll know when they start sending AC invites because many people here applied

    Eversheds is out there handing out ACs and vacation schemes like party favours, and here I am, glued to my email, waiting for a peep from them. Seriously Eversheds, this silent treatment is not very nice of you - I know I’m not good at video interviews but give me a chance

    It appears that nobody has heard back post-WG, based on a recent response to a post in this forum. Perhaps the individual on LinkedIn was fast-tracked following an insight scheme or something (?)

    Heyy, do we have unlimited prep time for the VI questions? Or what's the prep time/delivery time? I cannot find anything online. Also, are they competency-based or strengths-based?🥺 Sorry for so many questions and thank you for your help!

    I do this with certain experiences. For example, I have completed several internships through the Forage. (And I always have a single entry in the work experience section saying I completed several internships where I learned about different areas of commercial law bla bla) If a firm has an...

    I'm still waiting for Mishcon 🥹 I applied about a week before the deadline. Same with WBD, applied on deadline, haven't heard back.

    Don’t worry it’s not terrible - mine was for a direct TC at the end of August and I had a written exercise, a case study interview, and a partner interview (competency-based) so roughly 4 hours for that including prep time for the case study and some waiting time between one assessment and the...

    Did you hear back after the test? I took the test and got the feedback report at the beginning of December😫 it’s taking so long I’m not too confident anyway because I got “average” for everything lol So unless they really like my application, my chances are not too high

    Has anyone heard back from Eversheds Sutherland ( PFO or AC invite) post-VI if you’ve done the VI at the end of December? I’m stressing out because they said if successful the AC would be next Wednesday so when are they going to let me know??😫

    It also takes ages for them to get back to you post-test. I completed the test on the 6th of December 😭 Well, I'm not too confident because my feedback report is not the best (lots of 'average' and nothing above average), but anyway...
