    I’ve just been invited to an AC but there’s only one slot I can book when I click on the link. Does anyone know if law firms make more slots available over time or does this mean there’s likely only one date left? This is for Mayer Brown btw.

    Hi Kirsty, I hope you’re well. Just a short note to say I’m still waiting to hear back from Willkie post application. I don’t know if I’m supposed to have received an outcome at this stage. Are you still reviewing written apps at this point? Thank you!

    Welp thought I’d cracked amberjack with 36 for Mayer Brown, down to 20 for Reed Smith. I hope these law firms see this forum and see these tests are just rubbish! Slightly reassured that Reed Smith say they watch every VI, an important fact for those who didn’t know! I guess it’s because it...

    Thank you! I tried re-clicking the test link and it said I’d completed it so hope it’s ok! Did anyone get a confirmation? Maybe there isn’t one! 🤷‍♂️

    Hey is this for AC? Can I ask when/what you applied for? Thanks! ☺️

    Could pick a slot from a range- there’s 6 ACs I think, from the 20th-29th so they may still be getting back to people! Good luck! I did my VI on 19th December.
