Why would the firm view an application that hasn’t passed the test benchmark. That would be a waste of their time. If the test is there I’d assume it’s for a reason and that would be to cut the numbers of applicants and “review the best applications”. I don’t believe those who pass the WG are the best of the bunch they’re just those who can pass the test. I found their WG to be pretty similar to Linklaters and CMS. I tend to say the question out loud and contradict myself when saying the answers. Whichever sounds better and more convincing I go with. don’t think.
