    It’s crazy because I’m waiting for their response to my application before I can decide on whether I apply for a spring VS scheme for another firm or their summer one.

    My top 3 are the same as yours, my area of improvement is judgement. I don’t know how to take it, but I don’t think it’s good news for me. (Especially judgement point).

    From what I understand of the process, they view your assessment score with your application before inviting you to complete the WGT. Question I want to know is what is the pass mark for them to invite you for a WGT?

    Haha all I want to know really is if there is a segment relating to a one way video interview in the test. I don’t do well in these tests in general, but that bit there will kill my chances of progressing.

    Has anyone received the Freshfields online law assessment? I have received mine, and planning to do it later today or tomorrow. If anyone has done it, let me know if there is a segment that includes a video interview. Thanks
