    If I haven't had an invite to the WG test for B&B spring and I applied mid-October am I cooked? I would be really quite disappointed as I thought my answers were very well researched and tailored, and I really put time and care into my app, but I haven't heard anything :/

    I left my app for WVS like that for about 5 hours (had an emergency!) and came back, and I got an AC offer so I'm sure you will be okay! I just reopened the browser and it reloaded fine :) However, I didn't turn my laptop off, I just shut the screen.

    I haven't done Clyde's, but for Freshfields it is a regular Cappfinity test with sjt and ranking questions, then a watson-glaser style critical thinking test. I would say do the practice tests on their preparation hub and some watson-glaser practice questions and you should be good!

    Any insight on how long after application I can expect the Bird & Bird WG test (if I progress to that stage)? It's been about 2 weeks, so I'm wondering if that means PFO. (edit: this is for Spring Vac Scheme)
