[QUOTE="laby201, post: 155719, member: 10161"] Sorry to hear that, I’m still yet to hear so not sure if that’s good or bad news. I’d agree though, 30 minutes does make it feel overly pressured. In terms of strategy, other than practice, practice, practice like you said, I guess just doing those practice tests to a time limit. For example, do a practice question and give yourself a minute max to answer it, then move on if you’re not sure. What I did though, was move to the end of the test and get all the arguments/assumptions (quick ones) out the way first and then leave the ones I knew I’d have to think about more until the end. Or if you struggle with WGs, perhaps just avoid firms that require them. Think Freshfields, Hogan Lovells, Baker McKenzie, Linklaters, Norton Rose Fulbright, CMS, Bird & Bird, HFW, Osborne Clarke and DLA Piper are the only ones that do. So effectively, you have a wide choice of firms that don’t! :) [/QUOTE]
