    Automatic in the sense that everyone gets one (it is part of the first stage, not second stage)

    Same thing happens every year - the WG is automatic. E-mail and chase them if you've been waiting long. They are so inconsistent with sending them out.

    Similar, but different. I've been very successful at WG - but have seemingly failed the critical reasoning tests (or whatever they are called) as I have not been progressed after taking them.

    Links are contradictory as to whether the SJT (which includes the critical thinking test) must be done by the application deadline or the deadline stated when you login. I have finished mine past the application deadline and will e-mail them and hopefully they allow it.

    Random question - but does anyone know why HSF no longer rank on the Social Mobility Index - after peaking at a rank of 3rd a few years back?

    Its like you have three answers to choose and you gotta pick two answers that you best believe answer the question - and then a 10 minutes games test.

    Linklaters had 100% conversion rate for VS? So no hires from direct TC?

    They are really inconsistent at sending out WG. I would wait a few weeks before e-mailing.
