    Anyone got advice for the Ashurst test that have done it? currently practicing it- I assume it's got WG style questions too (because they want us to suffer) and behaviour questions? How did you find it?

    General question if you've done an insight scheme with a firm- is it a good idea to include it in an application with another firm?

    Thank you so much! that was really motivating. I won't give up!! But seeing all those LinkedIn posts about uni students getting TC's and VS is really disheartening sometimes 😅

    I emailed them last week about not receiving an SJT invite but not received any response - I can only assume the test isn't automatic then? Is there anyone who hasn't received an invite for Brabners SJT?

    Anybody heard back from Brabners? I've not yet even received an invite for their SJT and it's making me worried that if I haven't been sent one I've possibly received a PFO. :(

    I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Luckily all parts of my application are completed and saved so hopefully I get a response soon.

    Is anyone else applying to Ashurst having issues with their application? On section 4 of academic details it’s marked as having not been done at all even though I filled all the sections and I’ve gone in and out of the application and it has saved. I’ve even deleted and re-added it to see if...
