Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any insights on the Milbank online assessment? Is it a video interview, WG, SJT, etc.?
Hi @rynpin back when I applied to Milbank the assessment was a Watson Glaser test. While it is not impossible that the assessment format was later changed, since on the firm's current graduate recruitment brochure they refer to it as a "Critical Reasoning Test", I doubt it would be very different.
