I also did the first on the 12th and my least developed skills were ‘we thrive as a team’ and ‘championing our clients and giving them edge’. For me the critical thinking elements of the Freshfields test and HL first test were pretty much identical so I’m expecting PFOs from both 😢- whywhy88

Really starting to lose hope about receiving the second HL test 😞 With a lot of firms moving towards SJTs and the Cappfinity model I feel more disheartened than ever given my neurodivergency makes such tests so much harder. Anyone else feeling the same? :(- whywhy88

For the Paul, Weiss 'How do your extra-curricular activities align with a career at Paul, Weiss?' question, does it matter if we only have one activity to talk about? I only have one main hobby/extra-curricular but am worried that this may put me at a disadvantage- whywhy88
