Does anyone have any insights into the Mayer Brown online test/VI?

Does anyone know anything about the Withers Legal Proofreading Assessment? Is it recorded because I look a mess

Yes it is recorded and it is 15 mins. Personally, I lost 2 minutes in just navigating through the actual question, as their user interface was quite complicated for me and i had trouble in identifying the actual question.

I still haven't heard from PHB, assuming that's a definite PFO?

Me neither

is the Mayer Brown SJT timed?

Oh no, good to know it's recorded. I'll make sure I look somewhat presentable then!

That's really helpful about the UI being tricky though, I'll keep that in mind so I don't waste time just figuring out where everything is. 15 minutes is tight as it is!

9/9 for grit and digital mindset, 7/9 for applied intellect and creative force for Mayer Brown. Good to know the SJT practices have been paying off, but I hate the math stuff so much!

Two questions in the VI are. You get 2 mins to prep and 2 to answer. Rest is untimed, but recorded.

Those are great results! How have you been practising for SJTs?

Is this normal for HL?
