Afraid so...Did A&O change their SJT test format from last year
Tbf a lot of the situational questions are identical. All the videos are the same as last year. They've just bolted on a numerical reasoning test on top of it now

Try the practice in the test email they sent you, that's probably the best prep you can do. Just think what would be the best responses the firm would want while still being true to what you would doOn the SJT part, do you think there's any use practising other SJT's first (like on websites)?
I felt like it went on forever this year, did you? Kept thinking it must be over and then more questions came hahaAfraid so...

Yeah I was the exact same!! I had no idea they'd included numerical reasoning either- think I spent an hour on the test overall??I felt like it went on forever this year, did you? Kept thinking it must be over and then more questions came haha
Took me the same amount of time too! Swear I only remember it taking like 25ish mins before!Yeah I was the exact same!! I had no idea they'd included numerical reasoning either- think I spent an hour on the test overall??
If it’s saying it’s optional, that’s fine. It will be clear from your other academics what stage you are at.Hey everyone,
For Slaughter and May summer VS, I am assuming as a student going into his penultimate year i dont need to fill out the details for LPC/GDL?
On the key it automatically comes under 'There are some incomplete optional fields', but I am assuming this is just because you dont need to fill it out unless you're due to begin/have begun etc?

Thanks!
No you are not- I wasn't an AS member and was invited to the AC this year(earlier this year)Hi everyone,
For Dechert's VS applications - is it a disadvantage if I am not an AS member? It asks on the application form whether I am a member of Aspiring Solicitors or not and I was just wondering what your thoughts are on this.
Thank you so much!!! xNo you are not- I wasn't an AS member and was invited to the AC this year(earlier this year)
Also did last year's AC and wasn't disadvantaged by thisHi everyone,

There's an example on the practice test they send you which is pretty spot on with what you'll get in the test itselfIf anyone doesn’t mind, what is one example of a numerical reasoning question asked on the A&O SJT?
CMS are open for apps as well!Have any other firms opened VS apps today, or is it just NRF and herbert smith?
Grad Rec in the Legal Cheek webinar just now just said winter isn’t rolling and it’s sifted after the deadline! That was news to me ??Speaking of A&O, does anyone know what their turnaround time is for winter VS applications? I applied on the 17th august
That's very good to know! Probably explains why no one has heard back yet.Grad Rec in the Legal Cheek webinar just now just said winter isn’t rolling and it’s sifted after the deadline! That was news to me ??
