When do we reckon we will hear back from Irwin Mitchell?

I submitted the Reed Smith SJT almost 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back ever since. Also, no news from Baker McKenzie post-app at all. 6th cycle. Should I be worried or just move on?

For RS I wouldn't be worried for now. They are rolling but their deadline is today and seeing how people have received their tests this week, itll probably take a bit of time.

Anyone heard anything from Bakers post-vi? Their ACs are usuallt first 2 weeks of June which is literally starting next week…

Just got my RS amberjack report - 3 in grit and 3 in creative force!! Oh dear. On the upside got 7 in digital mindset and 9 in applied intellect. Top band verbal intellect and mid for numerical intellect - bit of a surprise as I did maths A level! Have only done 1 amberjack before but no clue how I’d change what I did to improve my scores if I got another one. I miss Watson Glasser… Application questions stage looking v unlikely!!

Nope. But I think it said they’ll get back to us within 2 weeks of completing the test, so depending on when you did it, it might still take a moment.

Has anyone heard back yet after the KN written exercise?

 

[HasRez]

Is anybody waiting for a reply from WFW?

 

[Abbie Whitlock]

Pat on the back for me for doing 3 interviews in 8 days

An actual interviewing machine at this point!

I hope you take some time to rest over the weekend - you've definitely earned it!

My track record with VIs is not pretty but WFW’s VI was the first VI I got through this cycle so don’t count yourself out. Best of luck with it!
