Hi guys! Has anyone who has applied to HSF for the spring vacation scheme heard back from the firm post submission and passing the online test? Thanks in advance!
 
Just heard that I failed both the Dentons and Hogan Lovells tests. Really frustrating that you can spend so much time making a great application and be rejected after a 30 min test. Just goes to show that I should have definitely dedicated more time preparing. Still disappointing though.
Hi Shane, I am sorry, WG tests are hard! How long did Dentons take to inform you on the outcome of your WGT?

Nope! I applied early December still haven't heard- pretty worried because sounds like people have been hearing for a while.. When did you apply?
 
Congratulations! Heard there are only 2 questions (one on why K&E and the other one on competencies).
I'm still waiting for an answer, can you tell me when you applied?

I got one too and I applied on Sunday (deadline day). Does anyone know how long the speaking time for each question is going to be?
 
Has anyone been invited to Mayer Brown AC? if so, if you wouldn't mind, are you able to share your VR test results? I thought my results were good but got a rejection.

Not been invited to AC but have a phone interview with Mayer Brown this Friday. If anyone has tips that would be much appreciated. I also have no idea how/where I'm going to do it as the best time I could get was 2pm on Friday and I'll be at work...

And I will send you my scores if you like, it only says average, above average etc. if that's what you mean though?

Can I ask how long it took you to hear back after getting your results from the test? good luck for the phone interview!
