Just wanted to say on these SJTs just because it was your lowest score, I don’t think it necessarily means you scored very low on it. If you’ve done any Amberjack tests I think they’re helpful for visualising. They show your scores on pillars for ‘Grit, Applied Intellect, Creative Force and...- Z48

I think there has deffo been an increase in applicants this year, I’m not sure why though (if anyone has any ideas about why, I’d be interested to know)! At my Mayer Brown AC, they said they had a ‘record-breaking’ number of applications (didn’t say the actual number), and people have said...- Z48

Watson Glaser question
For deductions, for the statement to follow, it must be explicitly true. I guess cause we don’t know if Tim has any other accounts with delta bank, we don’t know 100% that he doesn’t earn interest on any of his deposits (Not completely sure on this one) For the inference I’m pretty sure it’s a...- Z48

Low 2:1 vs mid/high 2:1
I don’t think a grade in a single module will be a deciding factor, most firms require a 2.1 overall, I’ve seen very few firms say they need a 2.1 in each module. Some firms like Slaughter and May are a bit pickier with ‘strong 2.1’ but that is still for your overall grade, not module specific.- Z48

For Mayer Brown’s test they offer extra time if you request adjustments, I believe they can also consider it retrospectively if you didn’t request the adjustments before the test. I would definitely disclose your neurodiversity to firms to see what adjustments they may have- Z48

Does anyone have any advice for the Mayer Brown AC? I would really appreciate any insight as I can’t find much info about it! I got the invite like 30 mins ago and completed the job sim on 6/1 for Spring (The booking link says they’re running ACs from Feb-April btw)- Z48
