I've recently completed mine; you have 30s thinking time and 1 min 30s to answer a total of four questions. My advice would be to focus on the main motivational questions (Why Law/Goodwin), also 3 out of 4 questions are pretty much repeats of what your wrote in your application so I wouldn't over prepare as you already have the answers.I’ve got the Goodwin VI coming up, so if anybody is happy to share any insight on that one, even just the general vibe or focus, I’d really appreciate it.
Submitted DTC applications to Hogan Lovells and HFW back in October and haven't heard anything - is it safe to assume PFO?
no hfw do DTC ACs after the summer scheme is over (and AC is the next stage) so don’t expect to hear anything until like june/july unfortunately
dk about HL but i think they may be much sooner
No one's heard anything from Hogan Lovells for DTC – not even the automatic assessment, so more than likely, they just haven't gotten to processing the DTC applications yet.
Heard back today. Bad news sadly!!! lowkey knew I bombed the video interviews, so I was expecting it. Such a shame though, as it was one of my top choices!
I applied and did the test at the beginning of October.I’m so sorry to hear that
May I ask when you applied and took the test?
Still waiting to hear back post VI for Sheffield. Driving me insane!
If anyone's previously been successful with Shoosmiths please can you message me
