    Addleshaw Goddard video interview

    Which office did you apply to? I had my AC in Manchester on 31st January and received an offer the next day. Everyone who attended the AC in Manchester also heard back around the same time but they have only started holding ACs for London so that may be why. Also, check your portal regularly as...

    Pinsent Masons Interview

    I didn't pass the GMAA test, but I know someone who did and she said you have to do further psych test(s) on the day of the AC.

    I received an invitation to do their psychometric test last Wednesday I think and I know someone else who also got an invite. I would check the portal to see what the status says.

    Pinsent Masons Interview

    Do Pinsent Masons have two psychometric tests for their vac schemes? I got an invitation to do a Graduate and Managerial Assessment - Abstract this morning but have seen other threads where people have said there is a psychometric to complete during the actual interview.

    Pinsent Masons GMA-A Psychometric Test

    Hi Just wondering if anyone has completed Pinsent Masons' GMA-A Psychometric test before (for the summer vac scheme)? They have provided a guidance sheet but no link to a practice test or anything. Thank you in advance!

    Vac Scheme with no work experience?

    I think the best thing to do is to get involved in the pro bono initiatives at uni or the law society etc. I was a campus ambassador for Aspiring Solicitors which was really helpful but I wish I'd gotten more involved in the volunteering schemes at uni because they look v good on your applications!

    When did you submit your VI? If you go back on to the VI invitation (on Sonu), it should say that it was successfully submitted. Yeah, I don't think I did great on the tests which is why I'm worried. A few people have had AC invites so not sure why I haven't heard back (even if its a rejection!).

    Log on to the portal for AG and check the status there because I got an AC invite on Friday but never received an email (still now!). Congrats on the DLA Piper AC! I still haven't heard back from them...

    Which Law Firms use an Online Test? 2018-19

    DLA (for a vac scheme) also have a numerical reasoning test in addition to the verbal reasoning test which you have to do prior to submitting your application. The invitation for the numerical test gets sent straight after submission.

    Sorry to hear that Alice! I also applied on the same day and have seen that some people have heard back. I'll have a look at the portal to see what it says, thank you :)

    Addleshaw Goddard video interview

    I wouldn't necessarily think its a rejection until you get an email saying so (though this is my first round of applications so not 100% sure of the process). We've applied for different locations so that may be a factor. Don't lose hope!

    Addleshaw Goddard video interview

    I've not decided on my answer to this question yet but I think the focal point should be around why you should be picked over other candidates. It's the last chance to impress and depending on what kind of questions they ask in the vid interview, you might have to think on your feet and...

    Thanks @Jaysen ! I've been looking at the type of questions AG typically ask and have compiled the below list (hope it helps and I'm on the right track!) Who are some of our biggest clients and which client do you admire? What key skills do you believe to be necessary to become a successful...
