Not something related to VS/TC, but the consulting firms tests are scarier than the law firms tests... After having an exposure to that, I'm kinda accepting that law firm tests are more inclusive and adaptive. Consulting firms offer unreasonable timings for longer questions!

Just submitted my application for White and Case Open Day exactly at 11.59 sharp! It felt like I'm dismantling a weapon at the last second... Not recommended.

A generic question: What's the ideal number of law firm applications to make in a cycle if you intend to submit a solid, well researched one? So many opportunities around the same time, and I'm facing a decision fatique. I wonder if this is limiting my depth of research about each firm. I also...- Lawlawland

This is the SJT you complete immediately after submitting the application form. After this, if you have passed their threshold for this test, you will be sent a link to another test (also in the same platform) which is similar to WGT but bespoke to L&W.
