Linklaters 2019/20 Application

[Sammie]

Hi everyone! To the people who have completed the Watson Glaser test for Linklaters - was it timed or untimed?
If untimed, what is a sensible amount of time to spend on it?
Also, does that mean that timing isn't taken into consideration when calculating the overall percentile/performance?

 

[Emina]

Mine was not timed, I spent 15-20 mins on it, but I’m not sure whether time is taken into account

I’m really confused - How can it be that it was timed for some people, and not for others?! It’s very odd :/

 

[Sammie]

Mine was timed.

If you don't mind me asking, which opportunity did you do complete yours for and when?

I'm equally confused haha. Did you request extra time through reasonable adjustments?

Hahah I’m glad I’m not the only one! No I didn’t request any reasonable adjustments, but there definitely wasn’t a timer when I was doing a test (I think I checked after every single question just to make sure ) and the instructions didn’t mention any time limit... very confusing :/

Mine was not timed either! Very confusing. I spent about 20min on the test

Lol, this is so strange, a friend had their's timed! They did apply for the winter vac scheme though, so maybe the timing aspect has changed since for the spring/summer vac scheme?

How soon after completing the test did you guys receive your feedback report? Did the report say "maximum time granted 30 minutes" anyway, near the section that mentions performance?

I just got an email that they’re reviewing apps now. Assume it was automatically sent out to people who applied eg. over two months ago? Has anyone heard back yet? I applied for the direct TC

Hi Sammie! It is very strange indeed haha! I just checked my feedback report for the WG test, and you're absolutely right - it says maximum time allowed is 30 mins! Mine wasn't timed but I completed it within 15-20 mins - I am wondering if there would have been a "cut-off" if I would have gone over 30 mins? Or it could be that they have removed this requirement since the winter VS round, but that they forgot to update the reports...

I had to request my WG test report, and got it sent to me the following day! For the CAPP test, I received a report automatically the day after I did the test.

I haven't received my report yet. Assuming I will have to request it? But to be fair, I completed mine on Friday so I may receive it tomorrow. Did you receive yours without a request?

Hi Judy, I thought I'd jump in - for the CAPP assessment, you'll get the report automatically; for the WG test you need to request a report from the grad rec team! Hope this helps

Hi Emina,

Thanks a lot for confirming

 

[Penelope]

Has anyone’s status changed from on hold for the summer VS?

Hi Jenna,

I have applied for a direct TC and mine is 'on hold' - however I'm certain their deadline was recent for this (please correct me if I am wrong). Have you seen an amendment in it already?

Hi,

I also applied for a direct TC in November. I received two emails to let me know that my application was still under review.

 

[h2020]

Hi,

Did everyone who applied for a direct TC apply for a London training contract?

Hi Emina,

Did you get an email stating that you passed the WG prior to requesting the report?

Has anyone who applied straight to TC heard back after completing the WG test?

Has anyone who applied straight to TC heard back after completing the WG test?

Just that it’s under review

If I was rejected from the winter vac for Linklaters (I think due to my low WG result with 27/40) but asked to reapply for their spring/summer scheme, is it worth me already assuming I will be rejected again? - Linklaters didn't let me do another WG for the other scheme so I believe my score is the same???

Has anyone heard anything yet?
