    Unlike Amberjack, you can’t read much from Cappfinity reports It depends how strongly you scored on the skills they want and not the rank, because maybe you scored high in all of them and personal responsibility happened to be your lowest etc.

    Thanks! Is that 20 on three pillars or four though?

    I got 20 too which I’m sad about! Good news is they do watch every VI. Some firms don’t watch the VI if your score is too low. Bad news is I’ve not seen someone with a score like this get an AC. But it might be possible. 🤷‍♂️

    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...
