Mayer Brown Tests

Hi everyone! FINALLY just got invited to telephone interview! So thankfully they’re still reviewing apps. If anyone has any tips/insight please help!
Well done! I had mine on the 17th. I’d say make sure you have your ‘why Mayer Brown’ answer ready and practice strength based questions! You’ll also have an opportunity to ask them questions if you want to :) Best of luck!
 
I was invited on the 7th and reckon I did them on the 9-10th. Got my report on the 12th! Glad to know they’re still reviewing at that stage though
Yeah I was starting to loose hope! Hopefully you’ll hear soon.

Oo! Thank you so much! Is it quite conversational or pretty strict? And do you get told on the call if you’re through to AC? Thanks again

Hmm, I’d say somewhere in between. You’ll be fine so long as you do some strengths based questions beforehand. Think there were perhaps 8-10 questions or so. They won’t tell you outcome immediately. I think it took 6 days for me to hear back :)

Oh okay. Thank you so much for the info. I hope it was a good outcome!
 
Hello all, I got an invite to do the online tests, but I am not sure how to prepare for them. Any thoughts?
 
How do you know if you've passed the tests? Is being "average" okay? Because that's what I've received in my feedback... Or do you have to be above average in everything to pass?

Absolutely, I got a telephone interview (I was probably one of the earlier applicants) having only had average for all of them bar one above average, good luck!
