So sorry to hear this but I've previously been rejected by them and definitely did not get that email! also, do you think they mean filled spaces for the scheme or ACs as I've yet to do my ac!
This sounds positive then! I could kick myself for applying so late!! 😩 Sorry I meant for interviews - it stated they will be offering remaining spaces to those who have already booked interviews! Good luck!

Hi all,
For the Ashurst cover letter, I was wondering whether it is required to discuss ‘why Ashurst’, as there is another question similarly addressing this?
Thank you in advance for any advice!
I second this question. I initially thought that there is no need to mention 'why Ashurst' in the cover letter as the 'How is Ashurst different to the other firms you have applied to?' question will cover this. However, I am not so sure... any advice??

that is a shame but it's definitely positive especially as they even want you to mention the email in your next application! and thank you so much!!

I just got an email from Pinsent Masons (applied for London) saying:

"Following up on our recent email containing details on the psychometric test assessment and assessment days, please find below your login details necessary to complete the psychometric test." but this is the first email I've received? That is, they haven't sent me a recent email containing details about the test/AC. I logged on to the application portal and it just says that my app was updated today but I can't see anything about outstanding tests etc.

Has anyone else received the same email / Have any advice?

    Hi all, starting to feel very nervous about my upcoming RPC AC. The platform they use is TopScore, which I've never used, and I have no idea what to expect on the day in terms of the actual tasks. I'm also not feeling very well at all this week (my brain has felt very foggy) so if anyone has any tips, please do message me :(

    scared no more GIF

    I received two emails (but the first went to my junk so maybe check there??). The test is a GMA (??) which I've never heard of or done. If anybody has any advice on how to practice for that I'd appreciate it!

    Also on my email it said it was due at 10am on Friday but later on at 3pm on Friday - did your email also say that?
