    A&O rejected me for the summer vac scheme for anybody wondering. I applied on the day of the deadline.

    Ah no! Please don't say that, it's making me sad. Never EVER fake yourself. And don't believe that something as superficial a reason as an accent is the reason for your downfall. Your true qualities and characteristics will SHINE through regardless, and if someone is not willing to take note of...

    High: Excellence, Respect Low: Leadership Preference Like I said, names out of a hat I suspect because I have heard people with lower WG scores than me go through with similar Capp reports. It really sucks that they don't ask any other questions or even work experience, because how are we to...

    Same lol. Though for some reason, I'm not mad about it. I guess my heart was never really in it.

    I got 73rd percentile for Linklaters and was big fat rejected! I think they pick names out of a hat tbh. I’ve gotten 82 for CC and passed, and 59 for HL and failed. So it really is hit or miss.

    That's so bad. I'm so sorry you guys. I feel like, because it was planned maintenance, A&O ought to, maybe, extend the deadline by a day. Surely they are aware of this?

    It's deadline day, so naturally, it's going to be slow because of the number of people trying to submit their applications and complete the SJT before midnight. Good luck with it!

    100% worth it. I applied on the deadline of S&M and got an interview. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

    Hey! I'm sorry to hear this. It costs money, but you can subscribe only for a month to get it, but the Commercial Law Academy has an amazing course on all psychometric tests, inc. WG, verbal reasoning and SJT. I went through it all, then sat and passed both HSF and CC's testing with high...

    That is in reference for the SPARK application. The deadline to sit the WG test for that is either 5 days after receipt or 12th of February, which is a Sunday, whichever comes first. Is that what you applied for? If so, then yes it’s not too late in your case. For the direct training contract...

    Maybe elaborate by explaining what you did to be awarded the prizes. I like to use the CAR structure for awards and achievements!

    I applied on the 7th… only a day before the 8th but hey. The email basically says if you apply before the 7th you have 5 days from the date of receipt of the test link to complete it. If you submitted your application on the 7th or 8th you have only until 23:59 on the 11th to complete it because...
