Hi! I submitted my HSF application 3 days ago but haven't been sent a test. Do they review applications first or are tests sent automatically?

I got it within a few days. I believe my email said to wait 3 working days so it might just be because offices were closed on the 1st that there's a delay for you. Did you get a receipt for sending your application? If so, then it should be fine. If it gets too late, say 5 working days, I think there's no harm in sending an email.

Also just to add onto what Hazal said, HSF’s deadline is soon approaching (I believe it is tomorrow) and as a result, there may be an influx of applications coming in all at once, this could explain why the test invite is delayed.

just wanted to know what people's thoughts were on video interviews- I just did one it didnt go great tbh, do you think they are looked at alongside the written application or as a standalone test?

Hi! I passed the video interview stage for White & Case and I am now through to the face to face interview - what should I do to prepare for this?

(I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone in this forum, you have been of great help throughout this application process :) )

How long after doing the VI did you hear back from the firm?

How long does it take for CMS to send you the WG test? I submitted my application yesterday afternoon and only received a confirmation that my application has been submitted.

Hi,

I received an invite for CMS's WG test two days after submission, but this was a few weeks ago. Since the deadline has just passed, they may be a bit more busy so it may be longer.

Best of luck!
