    I emailed them last week about not receiving an SJT invite but not received any response - I can only assume the test isn't automatic then? Is there anyone who hasn't received an invite for Brabners SJT?

    Anybody heard back from Brabners? I've not yet even received an invite for their SJT and it's making me worried that if I haven't been sent one I've possibly received a PFO. :(

    Is anyone else applying to Ashurst having issues with their application? On section 4 of academic details it’s marked as having not been done at all even though I filled all the sections and I’ve gone in and out of the application and it has saved. I’ve even deleted and re-added it to see if...
