    There was quite a large gap between! I completed my 1st one 27th September and next one came through 9th October

    I've chalked this up as a rejection having not heard anything since doing the CappFin test

    It took 4 days for mine to come through after applying so don’t worry it’s just not immediate

    No they can’t - TC only!

    I read it as such! But will gauge on the day based on the numbers that attend - I also wonder logistically whether there is just a cap on how much they was to refund travel costs. Those further from London are quite cost prohibitive for them.

    No indication and logging in to AllHires there is only a date of issue. NRF on another batch of rejections - not quick enough at pressing buttons over here 😅

    Just the former - no VI at initial stage. @berocca567, their prep hub includes the VI section. The email with the initial assessment also says stage 1, so the logical conclusion is that there is another stage with further testing, which likely includes VI.

    I just checked back on my application and there was a section for undergraduate modules after putting in the summarised year averages. I wonder if they’ve changed it since?

    If you’ve done an initial CappFinity test then it’s like that - check out their practice hub

    I did my next assessment today and there wasn’t a VI component though it was for a TC rather than VS. Has anyone had anything further from Linklaters since doing the first test?

    Sorry, missed that part, the VI is in the Job Sim, which is the next step.

    It's not, it's the next stage, which is the Job Simulation Assessment.

    Actually, you might be correct about the verbal part, they're blurring into one now 😆 the critical thinking part definitely felt pressured!

    It’s very much timed; it’s not a total overall time; it’s 3 mins per question set. No VIs. Definitely get in their prep hub once you’re sent it as I found it the most taxing one I've done due to the time structure.
