Did you subscribe to Finimize Premium? I've had the app for ages but I've not explored their packs at all as I've been rather busy and getting by with FT articles and Daily Briefing so far- DavidJC

They've suggested 45 mins for the SST and 50 mins for the VRT, I think I spent total about 1 hour 15 minutes? I didn't really prepare for it, the SST is the same as any other and I just treated the VRT like the LNAT, essentially a comprehension and critical thinking test.- DavidJC

Based on what Jessica's previously said about first-stage screening, TW's website, and the lack of even a test invite suggests that I failed on academics. I've had mitigating circumstances at uni in 1st and 2nd year but my uni only classifies degrees based on 3rd and 4th years so I'm still on...- DavidJC

I called them since they never responded to my emails and I said I hadn't heard back at all since I applied and I had heard they were doing ACs already then an hour later I got a rejection email. I didn't even get to speak with graduate recruitment, it was someone else who had answered the phone- DavidJC

On the deadline day, I'm not too bummed by this one cos in terms of practice areas Ashurst just didn't feel right to me (probably cos the areas I like got shadowed by the strengths of the merger partner)- DavidJC

Completely understand how you feel, this is only my first cycle but I'm a finalist and I still haven't gotten to an AC yet. I've had good feedback on my application from peers and successful applicants but I think we just gotta tough it out, so hang in there and keep holding out.- DavidJC

How much room for deviation between the online tests and AC tests would you say there is? I'm asking this in case some candidates change their minds about their responses to some of the same questions.- DavidJC
