HL online test invite - assuming its automatic but for anyone wondering I applied mid October

Same. It's automatic, but at least it means they finally are processing the DTC applications.

HL online invite test. Is there a Watson Glazer test too?

Shouldn't be. It's incorporated as one of the parts of the stage 1 assessment.

[testing123]

I got the Freshfields PFO one where they say that your application was strong, that there are limited assessment centre available but they are currently unable to offer you a place.

They then go on to say they want to assure me that my application still remains under active consideration and there is a possibility that we may still invite you to Assessment Centre at a later date.

Is this the one everyone is referring to?

i got the same one. does anyone know whether there is a high chance of getting off the waiting list?
