How long did it take you guys to get the feedback report?

Pretty sure it came in straight away

Congrats on the AC! Can I ask - when did you apply/complete the VI?

Did you get a response from grad recruitment about what the assessment center will entail?

Yeah sorry, it's just a presentation and watson glaser, then those that go through do an interview and group exercise I think

 

[Y-Gurl]

Anyone heard anything from Pinsent Masons London office?

 

[n2000]

Has anyone on this thread applied to Northridge?

Hey, for some reason this year I didn't received my feedback report + had to email grad rec to get it

Would you mind me asking if you've then been offered an AC or whether you've been rejected after getting your feedback report? perhaps I should email them for the feedback report, but I just did my test last two weeks because of adjustments but I feel like I could give a longer wait. On the portal it says they are still reviewing my app though. My friend was offered an AC but rejected after it.

Did they happen to tell you how long until you’d hear back? I just had mine and I wasn’t told how long it would be

No, they didn't give any definite time period at all. They just said they still have interviews scheduled over the next few weeks, and can only inform successful candidates once all the interviews are done.

How did your AC go though?

 

[IT7]

Has anyone actually heard from W&C for the spring scheme post app?

Has anyone heard from White & Case for summer either?

 

[tc_hopeful]

I've been to two open days with them and can send you notes if you'd like

Hi! Do you mind sending them to me as well? It'd be so helpful!

 

[tc_hopeful]

Does anyone have any tips for the Mayer Brown Job Simulation please e.g. preparation/info about how the different parts are weighted/how many video qs they have? Would be deeply appreciated! Thank you!

hi! I'm not sure how it's weighted but I recall there being around 5 video interview questions.

Is it just me or the SJTs are a hit and miss? I have passed two SJTs in this cycle. I also applied for the CPS TC as the application process seemed easy enough. Did the practice test before the actual one and got feedback that I did better most people in these categories, however failed the main test horribly, scored a mere 24% despite doing much better in the practice tests and earlier tests.

Does anyone know when freshfields get back post wg? Also, does anyone know the optimal wg score for Freshfields?

they got back to me literally 15 mins after I was done

DWF VI - Leeds!

 

[jobhuntwarrior]

Has anyone done Baker McKenzie's VI and would be able to offer advice on what to expect, with the number of questions and types of questions that appeared?

thanks!

 

[jobhuntwarrior]

AC invite for Bakers Spring VS!

Hiya, was wondering if you mind me asking what types of question to expect for Baker's VI and how many questions there were? I am completing my VI this week and would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Do they email you your score? I applied for the CPS training contract as well but didn’t say whether I passed or failed?

They gave you a response on whether you’re invited to the AC 15 minutes after the test?
