How did you know that? Legal cheek says they'll accept 25 candidates for training contract in London each year.
Because I talked to them, it is 25 across two years, they take 50% from each and from my AC (last year) [there was 9 people] and they took 6. This is directly from Pippa, part of the Early Careers. (also about 1600 applications if anyone really wants the numbers)

Well I got an invite for SHL 'General Ability' test.

It says "pen and paper & calculator required". However I'd probably use Excel & Windows Notepad.
Anyone know the rules here!?
Rest well before the test, stay focus, and do not get distracted during the test.

SHL has time limit, so it'd be way more difficult than Amberjack even W&G.

Yet, it's not tricky as Pymetrics and Plum. It's used by large corporates such as Amazon and Bain & Co.

Reminder:

• DO NOT click the Video Interview link if you aren't well prepared
• DO NOT leave/refresh the page if you are about to start the interview

If you do either, it'll be marked as complete even though you haven't even seen the question or submit it.

If the situation persist, you have to contact the SHL tech support team directly to redo the interview, the firm has not authorised for this case.
