    Hi, is anyone able to offer any insights into the Freshfields stage 2 assessment? Are the VI questions more motivational or competency based or are they solely based on the tasks within the assessment? Happy to offer insights into other firms in return!

    Has anyone completed the Macfarlanes job simulation assessment yet? I have not come across an assessment in this style yet and I am unsure how to prepare - especially as is says I will have to submit video responses! Any insights will be very very appreciated.
