I imagine the numerical reasoning questions will involve quadratic equations or the Pythagoras theorem for it to take 60 minutes. 🤣
I hope it isn’t too difficult because it sounds relatively simple. 🥲
It will be 12 SJT questions, 5 numerical reasoning and 5 verbal reasoning questions.
Paul mentioned this on the Paul, Weiss thread on TCLA a few weeks ago! 🙂
Best of luck for Paul, Weiss!
It might be because loads of people applied.
In the application workshop, Paul mentioned that they were anticipating 2-3,000 applications. 🥲🥲
It could be 50% of applicants get the test. 🤷🏾♂️
For Paul, Weiss, it actually is the second stage. Paul had mentioned it during an application workshop. 🥲
Not everyone will recieve the online SJT as it is based on a spelling and grammar review of each application.
After the test stage, I think applications get reviewed again but this time...
Second this he mentioned it in the Dec open day that I attended. 🙂
They probably won’t even have a benchmark set since it’s everyone’s first time doing the test!
Yeah I think a few of us selected both. I did it because I’m too indecisive and couldn’t decide between the two lmao. 🤣
Did it for White & Case, Ropes & Gray and a few others as well. 🥲
I think it’s too soon to expect a PFO because only a few people have mentioned AC invites so we can’t know for sure until we get the email!
Best of luck for Covington!
Normally deadlines are midnight but I think to be on the safer side try submit it a few hours in advance to avoid any technical issues. 🙂
Ropes & Gray deadline is on the 31st and I think theirs is midnight but not fully sure. 🥲
I fully empathise with how you feel. I also come from a lower socio-economic background. The jump from a comprehensive state school to a RG university is super intense. 🥲🥲
In my experience this cycle, I included everything like part-time jobs, extracurriculars, virtual law internships, open...
A few people have had AC’s and SVS offers for HL and I saw one person for RPC. 🙂
I think the bulk of the AC’s and SVS offers will be given in February/March. Best of luck! 🤞
