Seems like Gowling have removed the “aptitude” part of the personality report, sort of glad that I don’t have to see if I’ve got stupider over the course of a year 🤣

Got a fairly positive feedback report on the Reed Smith SJT but was told today I failed? Baffled

I think it's worth bearing in mind that everyone will get a 'positive' report in the sense that it will go into details about various strengths (and areas for development). So there isn't really a pass or fail - more likely that each firm will have a particular set of competencies they are looking for and if you broadly match up with those, then you will progress.

Thanks! I applied first week of December, completed SST on 12th Dec. My three attributes were attention to detail, confidence and social adaptability.

I need some advice on this issue. I submitted my A&O summer VS application yesterday at 10 PM and emailed them today about not receiving the SJT test link. They emailed me today evening at 6ish that they sent me the test link but I have yet to receive it. Should I email them again tomorrow if I do not receive the link to the test by 12ish lunchtime tomorrow as the test needs to be completed before the deadline which is tomorrow night. What should I do and what will happen if I do not receive the test link before the deadline.

I haven't heard from Bird & Bird since submitting my application on 28/10. Should I follow up? The deadline for Summer VS is 15/12.

neither, have emailed grad rec twice and they keep saying just be patient. I am treating it as PFO though

Have you received other emails from A&O about your application? And if so, have you checked your junk mail? Have you also done the test before (in a previous cycle)?

No, I have not received other emails from A&O just the email when I emailed them today about the SJT test. Yes, I have checked my junk email there is nothing there and I searched in my email also no email. No, it is my first time applying for A&O.
