    I haven’t received any updates since completing my first test on 10th October. Does this mean I have been rejected? I also haven’t received the Ashurst WE invite, so I guess I’ve been unsuccessful.

    Has anyone received Ashurst AC or written exercise invites after the application and test? I saw that some people have received them, but has anyone received any new invites? Does this mean it’s a rejection? Since November 9th is coming soon and we still haven’t received any written exercises.
