    I just finished the Fieldfisher test, and am now patiently expecting a PFO. I know I shouldn't preempt it or take it personally but it's a bit difficult when it's a test based on your personality...

    I tried to be myself and also to look at their values but it's a bit tricky... Do you have any tips to do better during those tests or is it just a matter of saying that I wasn't a good fit for the firm?

    You don’t even know you have done badly enough yet to know whether you could do anything to be better!

    Can someone who has previously done the Baker McKenzie video interview confirm whether their status changed to "Reviewed"? I am worried mine was never reviewed last year as it still says "finished" and I really hope that's not the case this year too... patiently waiting for the outcome!

    My status is also "finished". I would try not to read too much into this though. I'm sure you have given your best and that we will hear back soon!

    Same. Although I had to do my VI yet again today and the email they sent me today after having reviewed it but my portal still said ‘finished’, I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
