hey has anyone taken the freshfields test?

does anyone know if the freshfields WG is similar to HG/CMS/CC?

I was doing the Freshfields WG and had not muted my notification so I received a call in the middle of my test which I immediately clicked to hang up on. However, now I am worried whether the anti-cheating measures may think that I was using another app and may disqualify me?

Is it video recorded?

Did they ask for access to your computer and/or camera? If not, then it should not be a problem...

What’s happening with Linklaters direct TC? Just send a PFO already

 

[Legallywhatever]

For deadlines that are later on in the year, is it best to apply nearer that time?

Gateley Video Assessment. Anyone else?

Gateley Video Assessment. Anyone else?

Yeah, same. And for once a reasonable deadline for a VI!

 

[hehostressed]

Haven’t heard back from fieldfisher or DWF - I guess this year isn’t for me 🥹

 

[cjwx]

Are the withers test automatic, they way the email was worded makes it seem like they are not, but I don't want to get too excited,

 

[lolololol]

does anyone have any insight as to how to prepare for slaughters tc interview? would be really appreciated, its my last hope!

 

[LB24]

Gateley Video Assessment. Anyone else?

Same!

 

[Legallywhatever]

Depends if they are rolling or non-rolling. If the firm is non-rolling you could apply on the day of the deadline and it wouldn’t make any difference. If it is rolling then probably try get it in a week or two before. 🙂🙂

Thank you!

Do you guys think that when law firms choose candidates in the end- do they just consider the assessment centre or look at the application as a whole including AC?

Just the assessment centre usually

Is the Hogan Lovells WG not automatic this year? Last year they sent me a WG pretty much the day after the deadline...

More AC dreams - PH this time. Let's hope this one comes true.
