    Hey, does anyone know if the SJT + VI needs to be completed by the 8th for Latham, or do we have until the 11th?

    They screen applications first and then send tests out in January :)

    This happened to me last year too - I think you have to complete it within 3 days otherwise they withdraw your application.

    Is anyone still waiting from DLA Piper after passing the WG. I think I passed the test nearly one month ago and then received a follow-up email stating they're still sifting through applications. Should I accept that this is likely to be a PFO bc i've been waiting for ageeeess

    Hey, I have about a week and a half left of my jobtestprep subscription and probably won't need to use it - if anyone wants to practice the WG LMK and I'm happy to let you use my login details.

    Has anyone heard back today from W&C WVS post-ac?

    Hey, A&O Shearman don't tell you if you've passed the benchmark for their test, they only tell you if your application has been progressed to AC. based on my experience with them, the email you received simply means they're reviewing your app, but doesn't mention that you've met their benchmark...

    Ahh try not to let the waiting consume too much of your energy (easier said than done, I know). Fingers crossed you hear back soon!

    I know what you mean, I think the excess waiting time post-ac means a lot of us have the extra time to overthink everything, which isn't really beneficial :/

    yeah I think most people for winter have spring as their second option. I think the OP post was referring to waiting post-AC. Anyone waiting to hear post-app for WVS is probably being considered for other schemes / PFO

    I saw some people were still receiving offers for WVS on 21st November last year, so I don't think its over until at least a week before the scheme. Don't know if I'm being delusional at this point, but its helping me at least haha

    You have to request it; email them on: [email protected]. They usually take about 3 days to respond. Hope that helps!
