    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Hi! In preparation for mine I did a few practise tests and went through the worked answers. Also I find it useful to have a tab open with the firms competencies and check your answer coincides with the competencies, and to also be consistent with your answers. Hope this helps!

    None of the practise tests I did care anything close to what the test was like. Some info I was given my a future trainee: don’t be worried if the questions seem really hard because they’re intended to get harder the more you get right. I hope that’s the case

    Hey guys, I sent in my Simmons VI about 2 weeks ago (including all the bank holidays) and haven’t heard back. I was wondering if anyone who submitted it around the same time has heard back from them?

    It was the first application I sent in, so I sent it in very early so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Best of luck!

    Has anyone heard back from Simmons post VI? I completed mine on the 18th - I think the wait is what's killing me more than the thought of a rejection XD
