Did they change the WG? It says on their website that we’d be invited to an online test. Doesn’t specify what type of test.- Zaidoz10

It’ll probably be a while until you hear back post-WG cuz FF typically send WG invites in weekly batches. And I think they send like 3 or 4 batches.- Zaidoz10

For anyone panicking about not hearing from freshfields, don’t worry. For the summer intake they sent invites each week in batches for like 3 weeks straight. Just because you haven’t heard yet doesn’t mean anything!- Zaidoz10

You sure it’s not automatic? I think it is cuz in the application confirmation email it says that you will be invited to do an online test. I think they look at the application and the online test together.- Zaidoz10
