mixed, 'excelled' in verbal reasoning, but i've yet to see anyone not get that so. then I did well in two sections, and less well in two (got a 3/9 bars in one). so i'm unsure. if it's a cumulative thing, I might be okay, but I'm guessing they have a minimum for each section maybe? if that's...- pepsicola96

Went into the cycle hoping for a vac scheme but mostly treating it as a test run, and omg...- pepsicola96

wait, I've just checked the application process page and I swear that wasn't there before, or am I just blind? 💀 I though Freshfields was just personal statement -> watson glaser -> assessment centre? edit: nvm I've just realised this is just for direct training contract- pepsicola96

have completed the NRF arctic shores and I am more perplexed than anything else. I am anti-psychometric test in general, but at least with other tests I can kinda see where they're coming from.

I think even if you withdraw it would still count as an application unfortunately, and you can only make one application per year.- pepsicola96

For freshfields should we be using the whole 850 word count for the cover letter? That's going on two A4 pages, but also there's no other application questions so.- pepsicola96
