Congratulations! I was wondering if you have any tips for the online assessment? Is SJT or cognify? I need to complete it in the next week and I have no idea what I’m walking into 🙈
Hey, thanks!
this is the first year IM have used a capp test so I had no idea how to prepare either. It’s a sjt with a short WG at the end if I remember correctly. The only advice I have is just answer them honestly, not how you think they want you to answer. Maybe have a read over the firm values/career site to get an idea of what they’re looking for. Good luck!
I do not know the exact answer. But, for example, you could mention the benefit of understanding how local medium-size companies operate and contribute to the growth of the local economy. You could also show your commercial awareness by mentioning how the UK budget could potentially affect small businesses (business rate, levelling up, minimum wage etc)

I think these articles do a really good job of breaking down what makes different types of law firms distinct. You can infer the benefits of working at each type of law firm based on the way their advantages and strategy is described. I hope this helps!
anyone heard anything from DLA summer and Clyde spring?
they have just said that the test is untimed and do it at your own pace. They have not mentioned that timing is taken into consideration whereas Linklaters have. DLA doesn't seem to consider timing as part of their assessment. Maybe they will mention it when I do the test.
Would love to see the good folks at Simmons & Simmons doing these tests that they get us to do. Dearie me they're brutal.
