Hi Cynthia! Sorry, I don't know my score. Is there any way of finding out?
If it's of any help I did 2 practice tests that I found online, where I scored 75% and 82% respectively (if I am remembering that correctly). However, I found the Freshfields test harder so that may have impacted what score I got on this occasion.

I think if you email Freshfields graduate recruitment team and they will tell you, I have asked them after I got a PFO

Why doesn’t Hogan Lovells give you your WG results? I don’t understand

I think they do but only after you've received their final decision (pfo or otherwise) or when it's not too busy for the GR team. I asked for my results for last cycle around March last year and they replied quite quickly.

Still no news from Freshfields also wg 1.2.24

This is my first cycle, what has been your experience when firms don't get back to you but reply to other applicants? Generally is it a PFO waiting to happen?

I already had to chase CMS for a PFO, do firms often miss responding to applicants?

 

[Solicitorinthemaking]

I only got 29%.

On the Freshfields Watson Glaser?

 

[Apple]

@Jessica Booker For BM's application they ask about 3 skills and examples of how you built them. They also have a competency interview which as far as I can find, is not CV blind. Is it fair to expect that I will repeat some of the examples used in my application form? Given that I will have used my three best experiences in the app.

 

[AS89]

Hope this isn't a silly question, but does anyone know if Freshfields will invite everyone who passes their WG benchmark to an AC? Or will they only allow those with the best/highest WG scores to AC? Starting to think I'm out of the running, but trying to stay hopeful

 

[S87]

Has anyone emailed Morgan Lewis and knows when we will hear back?
